Getting fit despite the pain

lilfluffBack's are wonderful things. Without them our organs would fall out and we would hardly be able to move. Sadly it seems it is really easy to pull a muscle in your back. Especially when you do something really daft like bend over to put away a dumbbell. Ow. It will stop hurting eventually but until then, ouch.
On the other hand I have continued to make a habit of using the walking path at work. It's pretty easy to go outside, do four loops to walk a mile and then slip next door for a one dollar hot dog (hold all the trimmings). Sure, hot dogs aren't exactly popular health food, but they are cheap. Of course I can't eat more than about three a week before I don't want to see them again, but on the other hand they are cheap.
Then today I got to do the workout program known as taking my sister shopping. I'm pretty sure that involved at least a mile of off and on walking. Then we walked out to buy dinner. Now admittedly pizza also isn't considered a great health food. But at least we walked there and back. I also refrained from adding a heavy helping of parm, and sadly forgot to stock up on pepper flakes. Pepper flakes are one of those, "Why didn't I try these before?!" things. I started sprinkling them on my pizza and some pasta about a year ago. Last time I remember trying them before that was back around fourth grade, and I think I both got some stuck between teeth and sprinkled on way to many for a first time taste.
Now I just need to remember to buy more yogurt.
