Update from last night...

Evening Guys... 😎

A little better day today... Less painful then yesterday. Our New Clothes dryer was delivered as well and installed. (But they did a bad job of it, but at least we can wash and dry clothes).

Workouts are going a long way to making me feel alive and moving forward in a good direction. I'm still blowing up to be honest. Apparently, the extra work I've been putting in on "Off-days" is paying dividends. I literally managed all 10 reps in my first and second set of DB presses today (with a smidge of help on the 10th.) So yeep, already moving to 95 dumbbells next week. Heck this weekend I might just go for 100lb on the weekend to see what I can do. Everything is getting stronger as well, shoulders, triceps. I'm already sore, so a real good sign. 🙂

As for my diet and choices... All have been tightly buckled down and I feel good about myself again. No idea what the weigh in will say, but as long as I keep making good choices like I have the last couple days, I don't really care so much.

I'm hoping for another good day tomorrow. Also for fun I put together a 125 pound dumbbell , and it's sitting by the bench downstairs waiting for me to come home tomorrow. I'm bound and determined to try and do 5 sets of 6 reps HEAVT Bent over Dumbbell rows with each hand. It's good to go extra heavy sometimes. Assuming my arm doesn't rip off at the elbow. 😈😄 😬😆

And phewy I forgot to stop my watch for the last 50 minutes. So I'll spare you all the Electro Cardio gram. lol

Didn't burn as much today.. 800-900 give or take. But I'll take it.

Hoping for another good day tomorrow. Peace guys.

Also upgraded my dumbbell station with a shelf for all those screws - nice and neat now.




I can make up to a set of 180 pound dumbbells and a set of 90's at the same time... or have almost 600 pounds to spread over 4 or 5 sets of dumbbells. I'm fairly confident I don't really need more at this point. Well maybe just 1 more 22.5 pound plate for the kettlebell so I don't have to swap to and from.

and here's what that 125 pound dumbbell looks like.

Sorry I'm a day late - I've been terribly busy with work and spent most of the weekend on my laptop - except for celebrating my dad's birthday Sunday night which showed up on my Monday morning weigh-in. Work should slow down to a 'normal' level this week and I'll make more of an effort to get off my butt!

Sorry I missed this. Hope things are slowing down for you.

Just waiting for my zoom appointment with the arthritis society. I am seeing a physiotherapist this morning. They are also going to be offering me pain management services. This is all free which is good as I used up all my benefits for 2021. I am off to the pool after but I may just do some light pool exercises as it has been 2 weeks since I had a rest day.

My eating this week has been terrible especially after coming off a fairly good weekend eating wise. I had a full out binge last night which scares me. I think a lot of factors have contributed to the eating but I got to get a grip.

Happy Thursday!

Thank you to all of those that replied with some motivation! I often forget to check the community tab

@Melaniebl2000 How are you going? Community doesn't notify unless you're already in community (which I think is annoying). I sent you a friend request; hopefully if you have some people in your feed it might also help with motivation.

I went to the surgeon today and I got my surgery date!!! December 15th is the date. Just have to get my pulmonologist to sign off that I am fit for surgery. I am sure that she will as she said I was fit to scuba dive. I am fit to have surgery.

Let me know when you get closer if you will need to be moved to support while you recover. Christmas surgerys suck. I had both my hysterectomy (2001) and my knee replacement (2016) a week before Christmas.
