This blog is basically to chart my progress in trying to lose weight...
This is a Record of my daily events including my family when appropriate for my other family members to see if they choose to.
This is my legacy, for my family to read after I am dead and burried. So, any thing on here is meant for them only and if it offends anyone, my apologies, but, its not meant for you and them
Chow for now...
May the LORD Bless all who see this.
I wish you well...

YMCA Day
Posted 08-09-2010 at 11:01 AM by woodworkingmenace
My First day at the YMCA...
The machines that they have, are so 'new' that they seem like your not working out at all!
They are the 'weights', but, a single belt goes between them and you can 'dial' up the first 15 pounds. I think they are Cybrex machines, and I had a good work out today.
Even though, it was only a 'light' workout, doing 75, instead of a 100 of each thing, my muscles arent tired, but, I get winded too easily. Between a bad ticker and asthma, it takes its toll on me, THEN, I gotta look at this huge FAT MAN staring at me, cause they have mirrors on the wall, and I have to look at myself and its not a very impressive site, sheesh! Maybe it helps others, but its a total discouragement to me... Not that I am going to quit, I will still work out and try to lose this tonage, but it just dont motivate me to even 'be' on the machines LOL... but, I am still waiting for my Wife to start having to shovel up all those pounds off the floor that I lose.. problem is, I think I am gaining a few! Wife gave mea shirt to put on before I went to exercise session and it was 'tight' on me, and she remarked about it...(I never bother noticing any clothes that I put on, if it fits, I wear it, if not, it gets tossed into the drawer until it 'does fit'
Last night, my Son burned a few CDs with all the pictures on it from Dave and Brendas house, when we had all those relatives from here, there and everywhere in the Country at their house staying and visiting old places, for old times sake... Gave the CD to Dave and Brenda, but, for some reason, we cant make a CD that will play on a DVD player! Its these new modern computers... The last one I had, I could do it, because it didnt have Windows "what ever" in it-->(cant remember if its 7 or 8 now??). Each new version has thier software 'bundled' in, so that the old stuff wont play on the newer version and the newer version doesnt have the things that you 'really' want,like Nero in it, and when I tried to put it in, I think it said it would clash with other stuff so, I am waiting for the other shoe to drop and this thing to lock up on me and since I never made a backup disc, its just gonna sit here and do nothing but be a paper weight, like the last one I have sitting in the crack between my computer desk and my filing cabinet. The thing had a whole bunch of old pictures in it and I wacked it with a cane when it wouldnt let me in, cause I wouldnt let it download a file from the internet update, and its totally useless, and I am betting all those pictures are gone anyways, cause I havent had it plugged in for a few years now, so any back up battery is dead by now. I should take a sledge hammer to it and toss it in the garbage... (dont know, but some hacker could probably get info off of it, if I ditched it in the garbage like that, so I have to destroy the hard drive first, and since its a lap top, I dont know where it is, so, beating it with a sledge all over the place, will guarantee that its 'dead'
Been taking my Daughter out driving, around town, and making her drive to every corner, and making the turns, til its going to make her sea sick LOL... I want to make sure that she can do a turn smoothly and recover fast enough, so that someone doesnt come up and hit her from the rear, cause she slowed down after the turn and almosts stops... Some places, you cant DO that, and people will slam into you from the rear, and I keep telling her that, so, until I am fully confident in her turning abilities, I wont put the cones out, and start making her back up, for that part of the driving course. My Wife tells me she can drive the highways good, and I tell her, "yea, anyone can drive the highways, its the streets you have to worry about!! Can she maneuver around obstacles that are in the street? How about turns? Is she quick enough for those? Also, what about streets with cars parked on both sides and a car coming at her, can she safetly get between all the cars with out taking off some ones mirror, or scraping the side of someones car? I have to know that, before I am satisfied that she is ready to go for her lisence". I will say, she 'is' a better driver at times, then my Son was, and my Wife lets her know that, but, time will tell when she starts having to back up! My Son was pretty good at that...
Ok, going to close for now.
Everyone have a Great Day...
I wish you well...
