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...

Went to the Lung Doctor yesterday...
I wore my "Painters Mask"
Sure, the women looked at me like I was some kind of a 'nut job'.. BUT, I COULD BREATHE!!! Filtered out all the perfume, and, I could see that they had an 'opinion' about my Wife and me, but, I could just smile behind my mask and ignonre them LOL....
Course, I 'wish' someone would have asked, so I could tell them, YOU STINK and I HAVE TO BREATHE! .. But, since they didnt, I didnt volunteer... That spoke more volumes than anything I could have said anyways...
I got weighed when I got in there.
Now, I dont know how accurate thier scale is, (It was hard to weigh me, cause I had my moccassins on, since my feet are so swelled up with water, pert near impossible to put in a regular pair right now). We tried once, but I wasnt happy, since I keep 'moving' and that weight moves with me...
Second try, I got to hold steady long enough, and the Grand Total IS-->317<---POUNDS!!!
So, from 350, down to 335, now, 317... Its a good start, and, not taking off too quickly.
Hopefully, by Christmas, I can get down to 300...but, Im not really shooting for any particular goal, til I can get back to the YMCA.
I 'have' passed the (Muscle/Fat Barrier), now!!
I know that, and, as long as I stay off the sweet teas, and kool aides, (well, I 'will' have one or two glasses a month, not like the 8 or more a day I alway drank LOL), then I shall continue to drop in weight.
Im not 'feeding' the muscles, the sugar needed to keep them at an even keel, so, they are finally burning more calories than I am taking in!! I knew this was 'eventually' going to happen, just didnt know 'when'...
Also, had I of had it 'sink in', I would have stopped this long ago, drinking so much sugary stuff, (yea, people have told me 'not' to do it, but, until 'I' see the results for myself, it has no bearing or meaning.. Now, I have the proof).
My chest is 'tiight' (Doc's words), still, and, to me, that just means its hard to BREATHE!!
Feels like someone has a fist jammed up against the inside of my stomach, pushing up from the bottom, and forcing my lungs upward. (Ive had a 'full feeling' for days now...Thought it was because of the pork chops I had, then a bit later pork ribs, then for supper, jumbo hotdogs!!!-->REALLY bad case of heart burn on THAT one LOL...never experienced that before, eating a dog).
As of late, I cant seem to stop 'munching'...
I tackle salads like grazing sheep through the grass, and have my supply of Green Granny Smiths Apples by my computer, but, nothing seems to 'satisfy' me lately.
(No, its not the calories Im missing, because I havent had but two glasses of tea since I posted before that I was starting this-->Wife brought them in to me, while on my computer to take my meds, aint gonna toss them LOL, just aint civilized to waste stuff).
Im figuring a few more days, I hope to be 'over' this mess...(Course, I was figuring on that last week and the week before too!), but, since everything must run its course, this too shall pass behing me, and I look for better days.
To my Daughter, Honey, I hope you have come to the realization that we are 'not' letting you have that puppy for Christmas!!
You paid attention to 'stupid' for only a couple of months, til he started getting 'big'-->seriously, how tall can a dashound get??
You CANT keep a puppy in the cage all the time, while you go to School and Work!!
No dog is going to be a 'Prisoner of War' between us. I wont have it.
No dog will voluntarily 'mess' in the place, where he/she is sleeping, unless forced to do so, then you invite disease to the dog...
Your Mother is 'not' going to clean up the 'messes' that the pup makes-->NO, YOU wont be home to do it, so, forget that idea now!!
I dont want to smell dog crap!! My asthma is bad enough already, and odors trigger it, THAT 'is' a trigger for me!! Plus, there is the business with my canes!! Puddle on the floor, I dont see it, and Im going down in a ton of hurt for me!! Contrary to what you 'think', rubber will slip on water on a linoleum floor...(when you or someone drops ice, Ive almost gone down a few times, no seeing the clear liquid, and it scares me to death, to start breaking bones at my age now).
Your 'note' telling us that 'you were getting it for yourself, regardless of us', started more trouble than you realized, and, hopefullly you know now... YOU DONT MAKE ULTIMATUMS TO ME!! My HOUSE-MY RULES... You have the options to stay or leave, but, I am here to stay, til I an your Mom dies in this place.
We bought this houses, specifically for retirement. One floor, remodeled for convinience, and not too much maintenance now-->what do you think I was doing all those years on the basement, working in wood, fixing this, rewiring that, replumbing this, so that everything would be 'prepared', and I wouldnt have so much to do...Never thought it would come to me not 'being' able to do it now!
Since I know you peek at this blogg, every so often, Im just leaving you this message...
Accept our Rules, its the only thing you have.
You cant make it out on your own yet, not a good enough job, so, lets grin and bear it together.
Im not a 'tyrant', Im pretty leanient, in fact, but, certain things will ruffle your Mom and my feathers, and, when its time to enforce 'our' rules, then you have to make the decision, is it better to live with us, or, with out us? Your an 'Adult' as you call it, so, start making adult decisions.. Its the 'mature' thing to do.
OH YES, about my playing Evony...
It IS my only form of entertainment!! I cant woodwork, take walks, or do the things you and most people take for granted. I 'have' to sit down, or be zonked out of my skull with pain meds to try and function like a normal human being.
I dont take you away from your friends, (your entertainment of choice), so, why should you take me away from 'my friends' that I have made on line? (yea, Ive been playing with a couple of buddies for almost 3 years now, since you and your Brother got me 'hooked' on this game LOL).
Always have my nose in the computer? Come and talk to me!! My chair is right there beside my computer, so you can get nice and comfortable in it, and we can chat.
Pain is something I want to avoid, I get REAL mean and I strike out-->ask anyone who knows me well enough, and they will run, when I go nuts from pain!! Even you should know, as you cant touch me when im sleeping in my chair, because I have quick reaction, and I come up swinging-->(Your Mom's Girlfriend found that out and ran LOL).
Thats the reason you will see me on my computer, sitting down, with little or no pain, because it takes the pressure off my spine, and the nerve endings dont scream out to me.
So, lets do what we can to get along, and lets have a Merry Christmas together. Who knows how many more we will 'have' together, and I enjoy each of you being here with me
I wish you well...
