Thursday 12th Feb

My back feels tender and my sciatica hurts my leg, also one of my toes was losing sensation a bit so i was a bit worried.

I did cardio today:
10 mins on elliptical
10 mins on recumbant bike

then plank 1min
side plank1 *min
lots of stretching
jacuzzi

my new diet is also kicking in - I am getting around 3900kcal per day now when i only used to get around 2500 at most. I have put on 1kg in the last week

im just concerned about how I can continue to 'push myself' in the gym whilst keeping my back safe. I am going to drop the wighted dips as the chain doesnt do me any good, but i think the pullups and pressups, and on most days, pistols are still OK for me, based on the fact that i usually feel better after them than i did before.
