Not sure what happened but my back is killing me. It happened a few hours ago after I woke up from my little afternoon nap. I stood up and could immediately feel a sharp pain in my back. It is not so serious that I cannot walk but I can feel the pain even after applying ice packs on my back. However, I feel much relief if I seat down. Standing up causes me some pain. Feels like needles poking at my back at times! However, after moving about and stretching, the pain has lessen considerably. It could be due to the previous reservist duty where I fell and injured my back.

I guess maybe I should start exercising soon. I am not getting any younger and with so many problems with my body cropping up, I am sure that they are mainly caused by my lack of any physical activity.But for the last few months, I have been walking about half a kilometer per day. I stop a bus-stop away from my house and walk the rest of the way home. Anyhow I don’t think this really counts as exercising since I hardly sweat much during this little walk of mine. And the best way is to swim! Before I started working, I used to swim in the evenings. In the beginning, I could only swim like 1 or 2 laps. After a month of swimming, I could swim 20 laps continuously. However, this was when I was about 24 years old. I am much older now and I doubt that I can keep up with that kind of activity anymore. Plus, I am really really out of shape. To say I am out of shape is sort of an understatement.

Well, I will keep you guys updated on the condition of my back. Wooo…..if you are interested in the condition of my back, you are seriously lacking a real life. It’s time for you to go out and do some exercise instead of sitting in front of a monitor and stare into it.
