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...

I'm Hurting!

I went to exercise session yesterday and like a blasted idiot, I didnt watch where I was putting my feet, (trying to get off one machine, I fell 'full body' onto another one!!).
Arms are all black and blue, chest is black and blue, busted a nail half way down the bed of the nail, (had to rip that one off!), and busted up my knuckle, (swollen now)...my Back, well, its screaming sitting down now! Feels like I landed on my Butt, and the right side of my spine has pain, while sitting down, (rarely have pain sitting down in my chairs at home, but, even these can give me relief).
Worst part is, EVERYONE came a runnin to see if I had a heart attack or something!! Telling me to 'stay down', when I told them I tripped, and me feeling like the biggest idiot since the Circus came to town, sheesh! Finally, the guy behind me, at another machine, verified that I 'did' trip, and the ruckus started to settle down. My Wife, she turned around to get my towel and water bottle and didnt see me fall, but, saw me on the ground, and wondered what happened too LOL...So, like the klutz I am, Im paying the price for my stupidity!!
I soaked in the tub for 4 hours last night, then washed up, (11pm to 3am LOL), and went to bed on a heating pad that my Wife bought, that fits the entire bed!!
I figure Im in store for about another 3 more days of pain, as my Wife has to help me up from a chair now...(talk about being 'more useless', sheesh LOL
)
I have one conselation though... My Wife bought me a jacket one Christmas (about 3 years ago or there abouts), and it was 'way' too small for me-->I needed 5 inches before I could even button the buttons up!!
NOW, I can actually FIT into the jacket, button all buttons, and have room to SPARE!!!
Its unfortunate, that I am losing 'inches' instead of the weight. Im still at 350 pounds, but my legs and stomach are 'receeding
Ive been going 'at it' with the stomach crunchers, starting at 80 pounds, and I will do 100 of each (a set), then up it 10 pounds, until I get to 120 pounds and do 100 of that one too... Yesterday seemed to be a 'harder time' for me... I always sweat like a river when Im doing that machine, but, it seems the pain medication was not keeping up with my routine-->thats the first machine I hit in my routine, so I get the most benefiet out of the pain medication and I can do more exercises or sets, since I dont feel the pain as much-->Yes, I informed the Pain Center of what I do, and they approve on the routine and told me to keep it up, (saw them 5 days ago), so, I will keep on, keeping on with what is benefieting me, regardless of my Wife keep telling me that "Your killing yourself"...sheesh!
Im a former Marine, I know what a body is capable of, (you learn through 13 weeks of intensive boot camp and never thought you couild do what you are forced to do, during those weeks and learn that you have to have mind over body, or your not going to accomplish half of what your capable of). She sees me turning 'red' while Im exercising and thinks Im gonna drop over dead any second, but, so far, since February, I have proved her wrong each and every day that I go, and she still wont accept the fact, that I know what Im doing!!
Of course, she isnt happy that Im losing "inches", instead of pounds...as she wants me to do it in reverse, but, when you do a 'hard workout', it shows in what ever manifestation that the body will reveal, and I will take it for what it is...Im building muscle up, and eventually, the muscle is going to start burning the fat, once I get 'enough of it', and will start losing the weight
OK, thats all for this day.... A few more pain meds, probably another hot soak in the tub tonight, and the heating pad, should help me get over the next couple of days until I feel good enough to go and do it all again ROTFLOL!!
Have a Great Day!!
I wish you well....
