Doctor Day

Weight: 212.4
Push Ups: 20

I made it six months before the habit started to wane on me. I did 20 push ups this morning and I could tell. I can generally make it to 15 before the aching starts. I was struggling pretty good at 13 today.

I have a regularly scheduled Doctor's appointment today at 8:45. I got to sleep in a little. I'll have all the details after the appointment.


After the Appointment: I am writing this well after the appointment. Eighty-Eight days (September 15th) to be exact. So the details are not going to be terribly detailed because I can't really remember any details. I remember my cholesterol and all those numbers were pretty good. Beyond that, oh well!

Hiatus

Weight: Forgot to weigh myself
Push Ups: 25

After a week off, I was determined to get in 25 push ups. I almost gave up at 20 but made it to the goal.
Yea Me!

Effing Knee-Day Two

I slept with a heating pad for most of the night but turned it off at some point. I still couldn't straighten my leg. This is the longest this has ever gone on and it has been very draining.

I grabbed my cane as I got out of bed and felt the twinge of pain as I stood up. I walked down the hall towards the stairs and tested the knee and it straightened. No pain. 

I'm not going to complain! Yesterday was a looooooong day and I don't want to go through that again. But I will, unless I get that bone fragment removed.

The Effing Knee Thing...AGAIN

I woke myself up at about 5 AM this morning when I extended my left leg and it wouldn't comply. My knee has locked up again. I last chronicled this occurrence this past September 5th. 

All I can do is wait around for the piece of bone in there to move out of the way. It will happen as painlessly, silently and suddenly and it did when it happened at five.

I have a lot to do today and this is not part of the plan. I'm going to get dressed and get to work and do what I can. That's the best way to coax it back to normal.

Bike to Work Day Two

I rode the bicycle again. It was a lovely day and a nice way to get to work. I can read the paper which is something I don't make enough time to do.

It takes about an extra hour to travel to work by bike and bus so I have to plan. I have figured that it cost me about $8 a day to drive to work and $3 a day to ride the bus. So over the past two days, I have saved $10 in gas.

I'll see if that pans out when I gas up the car today.

Bike to Work Day One

Weight: 216.7
Weight at the Cardiologist's yesterday: 229
No Push Ups

I haven't done the push ups in two days but I'm not giving up on them. I rode my bike to work today for the first time this year. I figure it costs me $3.00 to come to work by bike (because of the bus fare) and $8.00 to drive to work.

It was a cool but lovely morning, following a day of unbelievable downpour's of rain. I took a few pictures as I crossed the river this morning.

I hope to have several more of these days in my future.

Commitment

Weight: 217.6
PU's: 25

I missed a few days posts and some of those days I did push ups.

Anyway, here we are in the first of June and I'm still doing it. This might be the longest commitment I've ever made, other than my marriage vows.
