Pain

It's one of those things that happens to me from time to time.
My back acts up...as in extreme exruciating agony.
It happens when I gain too much weight, combined with weeks of no exercise.

I am sooo paying for all my inactivity these days. Sooo i've been living on Advil and trying not to aggravate the pain by sitting badly or moving around too much.

The only thing is: to remedy the pain I need to lose some weight, i.e. exercise, which means invoking some pain on myself...grrr

So bright and early in the morning I'm gonna resume with some cardio, some light weight-training, and get back into the monitoring of my food intake.

Wish me luck...

Singapore.– A Singaporean student broke the Guinness World Record for the shortest time needed to type a 160-character SMS message on Sunday after whizzing through the task in less than 42 seconds in a competition.

Sixteen-year-old Ang Chuang Yang typed the SMS (short message service) message in 41.52 seconds, beating the previous record of 42.22 seconds set by American Ben Cook in July, according to Singapore Telecommunications, organizers of the competition.

"I'll try for 39 seconds next year," said Ang, adding that the trick to speedy text messaging was to use a mobile phone with larger keys on the dial pad.

SMS messaging competitions around the world use the same SMS text provided by the Guinness organization – "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human."
