Pain is something people probably hate hearing about. Everyone has pain every now and then. Toothache, headache, migraine, broken bone, whatever. but when it is something that you take for granted such as being able to use your right arm in any capacity, it is something worth complaining about.It's bad enough that I can't even … Continue reading Week 5 – Day 2: Oh Mama…
Week 5 – Day 1: Surgery (and 296.4)
Yesterday was, of course, surgery date for my shoulder. Everything went well and I am on a nerve block that will last until around Thursday afternoon. Well I can still move my hand a little bit, my pinky and forefinger are numb and I can't raise my arm more than a couple of inches which … Continue reading Week 5 – Day 1: Surgery (and 296.4)

Week 4 – Day 7: R & R
Sunday was exactly what I had hoped it would be. I slept in a little, went shopping and got all the groceries we needed for the week, walked just enough to keep my goals in place and relaxed the rest of the day. In a way, it was a little TOO much relaxing. But it … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 7: R & R
Week 4 – Day 6: Being Grandpa (Also a Change!)
So first for the change that is happening. Sometimes I am struggling at night to make sure I get my blog posted for the day. A while ago I wanted to change to posting it the morning after. After all, it is easier to talk about the day after it is 100% done than during … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 6: Being Grandpa (Also a Change!)
Week 4 – Day 5: The Last Hoorah
Farewell for now my metal, germ-covered friends. It will be a while before I get to wrap my hands around your uncomfortably textured handles and pick you up and put you down repeatedly. Today was assumedly my last day of lifting for a while. There is always a chance that my surgery on Monday will … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 5: The Last Hoorah
Week 4 – Day 4: 30 Days Sober
So I should probably start off by saying that I was not some crazy alcoholic who felt that I had to have it all the time no matter where I was. I didn't get violent. I didn't drink and drive. However, I was the one that would start drinking with the intention of having a … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 4: 30 Days Sober
Week 4 – Day 3: Mistakes Were Made
So I made a few mistakes this morning. Luckily these mistakes were either beneficial or really didn't have an impact on anything. One of the mistakes that didn't impact anything was something I didn't notice until I went to take off my shoes for squats (you should try it) and noticed something strange. I guess … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 3: Mistakes Were Made
Week 4 – Day 2: Sucky Tuesday or Sub-10 Minute Miles
I normally don't take my laptop home from work unless I'm specifically asked to by my boss. I like to try to keep work and home life separate as much as possible. However, that will be changing this week. I was asked by a co-worker in Dublin to cover his area (which I am fine … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 2: Sucky Tuesday or Sub-10 Minute Miles
Week 4 – Day 1: 298.2
I won't lie, I am a little disappointed. Basically, I am torturing myself because I am weighing myself daily and I really hate when my weight fluctuates up. That being said, I am also totally stoked to have lost over 3 pounds this week while enjoying Chinese food and a birthday dinner. So what is … Continue reading Week 4 – Day 1: 298.2
