I’m a side-sleeper. Sometimes after sleeping a while on my left side, my shoulder will start to ache, so I roll over. That worked fine up until a few days ago, when I awoke after sleeping on my right side with excruciating pain in my neck and back pain. Just rolling over again felt like being stabbed. Oddly enough, once I change positions, the stabbing pain subsides to a dull ache. In the morning, when I’m up, the only lingering impact is having a stiff and sore neck with a somewhat limited range of motion. Not sure what’s up with my neck, but I hope it goes away soon. Not my neck, the pain I mean.
As long as we are on the subject of my health, today marks one week into the new low(er) carb diet routine. The results from today’s weigh-in: 207.8. That’s down 3.2 pounds so I’ll call that progress. Other vital stats include BP at 132/86 and a resting heart rate of 61 BPM. I reckon I can live with that. Provided I don’t die on trail or get run over by a Jeepney on the highway.
Today being Sunday I treated myself to breakfast out.


Being in a beachy mood I did my morning walk on one.



And that’s just what I intend to do. Nikole is due shortly to provide my weekly massage. After that, I’ll head back out to Baloy for a dart tourney.

That’s it for this time.
I hope the massage helps with the neck problems, at least.
Well, I did tell her not to bother choking the chicken this time and to focus on my neck instead. Didn’t help much though.
