Day 151: Sleepless in Bristol, CT
Monday I had a tooth filled. I had planned to go to the gym that day, but when it came time, I had a headache, I couldn’t feel half my face (then I could and I wasn’t sure that was any better) and I was very hungry since I hadn’t been able to eat while […]

Day 147: Strained Shoulder & 8 Inches of Snow
OK. I think the ‘official’ numbers for Friday’s snowfall was only 6.5 inches, but the way it drifted up in places, there was probably a good 8 inches in most of my driveway. I spent about 30-40 minutes before work clearing the 2 inches that had fallen overnight, then when I got home from work, […]

Day 144: Problems With My Gluteus Maximus?
Standard workout today. I was tired, to be sure, so I know I didn’t do my best. The weights just seemed heavier today. Nevertheless, I pushed thru and finished all 3 sets of the workout, only failing on the bench press (that shouldn’t have happened) and the bicep curl (that wasn’t a surprise).
After the workout, […]

Day 143: Fish out of Water
I hit the pool today for the first time in over 2 weeks. I had 35 minutes and right off the bat I could feel that my left arm was hurt. It was a pain that told me I might have pulled or strained my triceps. I figured I’d try to get a quarter or […]

Day 142: 5 Month Weigh-in
Well, we’re just over half-way thru this thing. I’m a bit behind my goal of losing 60 lbs by the time this thing is over, but I think its my own fault. My diet hasn’t been as ‘on track’ as it could be.
I did make it in to the gym on Sunday. I did […]

Day 139: The Plague Continues (and I Need a New Cameraman)
Technically, I suppose its 1am on day 140, but it still feels like Saturday, and I’m happy to see it end, finally. Its been a long day, and we’re hoping for a better Sunday.
I returned to work on Monday, but was still feeling so lousy, that I didn’t return to the gym until yesterday. I […]

Day 133: Still Sick
Well, its been a harsh week as far as the project goes, and a harsh weekend as far as my health goes.
I’ve been sick since Thursday evening. I went to the doctor’s office on Thursday, and I wasn’t thinking, so where I’m usually careful about what I touch and sanitize my hands when I […]

Day 131: Friday. Post Doc, Pain and Sick.
Yesterday kind of fell apart and it was obvious I was going to miss most of work. So I took a personal day. Finished up my DMV paperwork and took care of some odd paperwork since I had time. Then, off to the doctor to talk about my knee.
His preliminary diagnosis, without the use of […]

Day 129: Messed up Week and Big Changes Ahead
Problems this week. Missed Monday due to a business meeting, and today wasn’t much different. Planning to hit the gym tomorrow, but it’ll depend on workload before I leave and what time I get in. I have to swing by the DMV and register my car. Then I’m out early because I’m going to see […]

Day 128: Weigh In = Breathless
As I said before, we skipped Monday. Brett and I both had to be at a business lunch, so I weighed in on Tuesday instead. After weighing in at 262 last Saturday, it was interesting to see the scale hit 264 lbs 3 days later. But not surprising, really. I seem to be kind of […]
