Exercise:
packing and moving to Northern
California
A lot has
happened in the last month. After my trip to Lewiston CA last month I decided
to make the move to work in a friends restaurant so I sold what I could and
packed up mostly kitchen equipment to load what I could on a trailer that was
too small to drag behind a Jeep that really had seen better days. The trip was
a little over 800 miles and I managed to make it without incident other than
some pain in my shoulder that just does not want to go away.
As for the
weight, after being stable at 215 for nearly a month I started dropping weight
again once I got back from vacation and managed to drop another 8 pounds this
month. I am very happy with the progress and frankly don't want to lose much
more weight for fear of the excess skin
being so bad I will have to have it removed. So far it is something I can live
with.
The biggest
draw back I have found so far is that what little ass I had before has
completely been eliminated. I feel like I am sitting on two sharp posts. I had
to run to Wally World again for another round of Jeans and shorts. This time I
was down to a size 36 ( I miss typed in the last blog that I was down to a 32,
I meant a 38) and I am solidly into a large shirt. I have donated or tossed
enough clothes to cover a small 3rd world nation.
I am
continuing to drink the protein shots mixed with a little 7-up or water and I
am really trying to keep the meats (mostly chicken, fish and shrimp) as the majority
of my intake. I can tell I have lost so much muscle it is ridiculous. I will
surely have to start some kind of weight training to regain some of that.
Lewiston is
a beautiful place in the mountains of Northern California. Everything is green
and the weather (to me) is still cold in the morning but warms up nicely in the
afternoons. My new exercise will include some hiking I am sure and I don't know
how much good fishing will do me but I am really looking forward to visiting
some of the half dozen or so lakes around here.
I will try
to post mew photos by next month.
Live-Love-Laugh,
better words where never spoken.
