I underestimated just how much the pain of my injuries would take out of me. In addition to the ankle, I have road-rash on both knees and elbows, both elbows are swollen, and my ribs are bruised. All that from one fall, if you can believe it. Being forty years old sucks. I just couldn’t do any ...
Now that the walking is out for the next 3 to 6 weeks, I need to come up with other hundred day head start challenges. Because that’s the POINT of all this, isn’t it? Not waiting until after some event or date to get started improving my health? There are still things I can do. For ...
Out walking Saturday evening, ’round about twilight, and stepped on a rock, in a hole, on the gravel road to my house. Rolled the ankle. Severe sprain, much pain and swelling. This ankle has been a problem for me since I was 18 yrs old, and in fact was a direct contributor to the end of ...
I’m still around. My wife’s surgery went well, better than expected really. Still, I had some moments of concern. The surgeon told us it would take an hour and fifteen minutes if it went well, to three hours if it went badly. They called me in right at 3 hours. I’d seen the parade of people going ...
I made it 13 days in a row, and missed yesterday. I spent the afternoon mowing and dehydrated myself. I suppose I could count the mowing as my exercise, but it was a riding mower. ;-( How did I dehydrate myself? I mowed the whole lawn in first gear. Super-slow. I was ticked off at the ...
So, last night, my walk was around downtown, still dressed in my work clothes, at around 8 p.m. after it had cooled a bit from the 92 degrees F we’d had a few hours earlier. But, I did it. I’ll probably do it again tonight, if it isn’t raining. If it is, I’ll have to wait ...
Man, did I feel bad last night! I was sick, nauseous, really, and changed the routine I was planning. Instead, I did two core exercises: Air Squats, and Forward Lunges. Then walked a slooooow mile, although i did pick it up towards the end when I started feeling a little better. So, Day 9/100 is in ...
Cuzin7 is in: cuzin7 said… ok i’m in! todays the day! i’m commited .. i think. i will get up and move my sorry butt, even a ...
Day 5/100, yesterday. My wife and oldest daughter tried to go for a walk in a park near the house. As they were walking across a footbridge over a swampy area, they were attacked by yellow flies. Recent rains has caused them to hatch. My youngest daughter and I humped a bit further than we’d planned. ...
Day 4/100: I did my 20 crunches and walked 1.5 miles very hard. What did you do? Today – I don’t know if the kids will join me today or not. They played at the beach all morning yesterday, so they weren’t “made” to exercise with me. My deal is that as long as they’re active and ...
