  • Hey guys... I hope no one gives up on me. I want you all to know that once I'm out of the woods with this crap pain stuff, I will be back to normal and my happy self and will try and encourage you all once more. As it is, most of my days are spent in considerable pain, and I can barely concentrate on work let alone…
  • Yes indeed... I've been noticing. Last 2 days my resting heart rate is all the way up to 70 before the injury I was hitting 63-65 on a regular basis. I assume one reason is the pain, and the other is I'm not getting my cardio in. DOH!!! Evening Everyone, Erg, I wish I was more joyous with my far and few between updates…
  • I'm not sure with covid still going on... I used to go to a local hotel and paid a small fee to use the pool, but I doubt that will fly right now. There are other pools, I could look into, but just the thought of getting in the car, driving there going to the change room, changing etc etc.. by the time I got to the pool…
  • Name: Poobah1972 Day: Monday Past weight: 356.4 Current Weight: 353.1 Good morning everyone... I made it to Manitoulin and Back relatively unharmed. Unfortunately I'm not doing much better either. All my time has been spent ethier driving (which is comfortable), or laying on a couch or a bed. Granted it's been a bit easier…
  • Good evening Guys and Gals.. I know I have been pretty much absent on here and social media in general. The pain has been lots to deal with. I haven't managed a full day of work all week. My paycheck is going to suck big time. lol Not sure if this is progress, but I managed to stay about an hour longer at work each of the…
  • Good evening Everyone, I figured I should update everyone with what's going on. 😬 I went and saw a doctor last night at 6:40pm, what's with the younger lady doctor's and blue or purple hair? I guess it's some sort of fad? Not that I have anything at all against any colour hair... It's all good right? Right! Doctor figures,…
  • Just popping in to say thanks... I had a pretty deplorably night of sleep. Approximately 3 hours. When I got up I immediately had another hot bath, and it was a major relief, as soon as I got in it. As the water rised the pain subsided, until I was comfy like a bug in a rug, in the fetal position on my side. lol Thanks for…
  • Name: Poobag1972 Day: Monday Previous Weight: 363.0 Current Weight: 356.4 I've been suffering in pain all weekend. Driving to Ottawa and back turned out to be the least painful thing. However all my time there or at home here has been spent in bed or in a chair hunched over trying to find positions that produce the least…
  • I have taken your advice this morning.... Heating pad applied for over an hour, and Current Dr. Ho is busy massaging the area. It seems to be working to some degree. 👍
  • GOOD MORNING!!! 😎 I gotta say, I feel like I'm a do nothing this week. I actually came home an hour early just so I can lay in bed. Both Calves throbbing. Same on and off pain that has something to do with my tailbone? Nerves? I don't know. That almost every day pain of late combined with the remanence of the cold has been…
  • Wonderful to see you Deb! I like walking / slogging the best. If my legs and feet are willing. I'm glad I got other options.
  • @shortyjmorgan1 The Bataan seems incredible... Such a elevation change, I imagine you need to be in some sort of shape to complete that. My goodness. 😆😬
  • Morning guys, 😃 It's a take it easy day today. 🙂 I didn't mention it yesterday... But I ended up tweaking my back a bit throwing that 20lb medicine ball around. (or actually catching it awkwardly a few times). It was smarting as the afternoon went on. Between that and the Butt Sucking Workout last night. I lost fair amount…
  • Evening All... 😀 TONIGHTS WORK OUT SUCKED BUTTS... I cannot lie!!! 😆😅 It was the first workout back since leaving to Toronto on the weekend. But I never actually missed a chest workout. (just the extra weekend work). I had no idea having a cold could take so much out of you. I was a shadow of my normal self today. I could…
  • I'm a little late to the party, but Starbucks has never looked so good. 😆😄👍
  • Good morning Peeps. 🤗 Nothing crazy this morning... Managed about 45 minutes of light to medium intensity cardio. Started off with 100 x 20lb slam ball tosses of various varieties to the Medicine Ball Rebounder. Basically, a combination of Chest press throws, 2 handed over head throws, and left and right Oblique throws.…
  • Poobah1972 30 seconds ago Alrighty... We have some new toys in the house today. 🥳 First toy... A ShoulderRok. Basically, this thing is a 48" loadable mace that uses Olympic plates. It basically trains you to be Thor god of Thunder. Lol. The idea is you learn to swing this thing with two hands behind your back, switching…
  • Name: Poobah1972 Weigh Day: Monday Previous Weight: 362.6 Current Weight: 363.1 I made it back from Toronto... And I had a cold the entire time from the time I left till the time I got back. Thankfully, it never got into my lungs, and it never gave me a headache. I literally lived on Tylenol Day and Night time and bags of…
  • I'm always on the lookout for a good pasta sub... Closest I've found thus far is Palmini Hearts Of Palm products. Cal's are still very low, and it doesn't smell fishy coming out of the package. (which is a plus). We make amazing lasagna with it. :) I'll keep an eye out for healthy noodle. ;)
  • I moved my car seat even further in... And random people are starting to stop me to let me know how amazing I am. ;)
  • Oh joy, Enjoy!!! and Good luck!
  • Welcome aboard @Kitty2Kats Thanks for allowing us to get to know you better. I'm a wise *kitten*, so don't pay any attention to me. ;) have a great day!
  • It was refreshingly nice and cool this morning, and i think I had just the right amount of clothes on. But I like both options. I find the eleptical is easy on my feet and knee's so it's good when I'm feeling banged up from to much walking or hiking. lol But if my feet and knee's are feeling good... Walking / slow jogging…
  • Super Duper Thursday is here! Did you get out of bed yet? Are you ready to tackle the day ahead? Me neither... let's all go back to bed! Good night folks! 😆😅🤣😅😀🥳😉 Just kidding... I was supposed to box this morning, but I woke up feeling refreshed and had a bit of extra zing in my step. So, I decided to get my *kitten*…
  • Evening All!!! 😀 Chest, Triceps and Shoulders tonight! Longish day today... Workout wasn't fun fun fun tonight. But it was fun enough and sometimes that's good enough. lol Lynn actually did phenomenal today, and powered through some serious reptations. 🥳 As for me, I did good too... But as I had mentioned a short time ago,…
  • Pickles! I LOVE PICKLES!!! :smiley: Welcome aboard! :)
  • Amazing!!! :)
  • And... Good morning everyone! 😀😆 I figure with a good walk in yesterday afternoon, and a leg torture test last night, what better morning to rest the legs then this very morning? So that's what I'm doing. 💤 I'm going to continue to eat pretty good today though, and keep that protein intake high as I supply the factory…
  • Busy place since my last visit... Awesome. Forgot to post my workout from last night... DOH. Good Tuesday Evening... 😀 Been a pretty packed couple of days... And just a few more days till we head off to Toronto. Were go go go. lol 😋 Anywhoo, tonight we had to do some sort of leg workout due to not being able to get it done…
