!

Went to my 'work out' session, and its getting very intense lately... I am doing my exercises rather slowly so that I get the full benefiet of the weights, and I am feeling it more and more in my arms, and today, in the gut area. I really wish they had a 'stomach crunch' machine that is made for fat people, cause the only ones that I see that can properly use the silly thing, is very skinny people!! Its not made 'right' and is too close to the bar, so that a fat guy like me can't properly get into the seat, with the weight in front, so the best I can do is have it half way up my chest and bend a wee bit, before I have to stop. I 'do' get some benefiet from it, but would rather have a full motion machine... Oh well, I will take what I can get for now. Figuring, for 240 bucks a year, I can join a pretty good gym for that kind of cabbage, but, they wouldnt monitor my blood pressure and tell me its time to 'quit' if my pulse goes sky high like it did days ago...so, I will take the good with the bad, and when I start to shed those pounds, and have my back feeling better, I will REALLY be jumping for joy at being out of pain!

Yea, I remember at 240 pounds, I could go to the chiropractor once a week, or every couple of weeks and he could adjust my back, and I would be out of pain for awhile...so, I am hoping to get down to that weight and see if the same will hold true, as it did then, and if it will now .

My Daughter's Boyfriend will be coming over soon. I got into a discussion with her about his 'eating habits' or lack of them. She says he only eats lunch, and not much else... I still have a hard time trusting a kid, who won't break bread with me...sheesh! I told her, if they ever get 'serious' in their relationship, he is going to have to change his tune... I won't have someone who is anarexic or what ever he is, as a Son in Law... We will see as the months go by, because my Wife is telling me that he is going to graduate and leave the State for greener pastures...(well, I am letting my Daughter know, with out that 'sheep skin'-->Diploma, she isnt going anywhere with him, even if she 'is' eighteen! Everyone in my family has graduated from high school and she is not going to be the first to 'drop out', and do as she pleases... Nope, that diploma comes first, THEN she is free to do as she pleases, and come and go as she has a "want" to do...).

Yea, call me 'old fashion', but I cant see tossing away all those years of education and not having something to show for it...Just don't seem right to me...

My Wife tells me that my Son, doesnt want to work in a 'factory'... hmmm I wonder how he is going to get that girfriend he is wanting so badly to get, with out a good job to support her? He is a great kid, or young man, but, I can't see any 'rich girl' taking an interest in him and wanting to support him LOL...Just dont happen in the Real World Course, when my Wife married me, I didn't have a job, but, she knew I wasn't the type to just sit around, twiddling my thumbs either, cause I just came out of the Marine Corps, and I tried college, but it wasnt for me, so I ended up getting job after job until I got the job I retired from... Him having a job at a 'shirt shack' isnt a very secure or financial rewarding thing to keep him in cabbage for the lovely lady of his life, (when ever she finds him that is), to happily spend it on all the things they will need for a happy home.
I will still take him around Monday to the factory jobs and see if he can get anything there... Who knows, he may just get an office job that he is wanting, so that he doesnt have to get dirty LOL...sheesh.

Ok, Wife just handed me an egg carton and is looking at her project book for me to do something for Vacation Bible School...

I wish you well...
