This blog is basically to chart my progress in trying to lose weight...
This is a Record of my daily events including my family when appropriate for my other family members to see if they choose to.
This is my legacy, for my family to read after I am dead and burried. So, any thing on here is meant for them only and if it offends anyone, my apologies, but, its not meant for you and them
Chow for now...
May the LORD Bless all who see this.
I wish you well...

YMCA Day
Posted 01-09-2013 at 05:28 AM by woodworkingmenace
Today I go to the YMCA to work out as I usually do on the weekdays. The weekends are reserved for my Wife to 'play', so if I dont get my three days from Monday to Friday, Im just out of luck, because she absolutely refuses to give up her weekends now LOL... (cant blame her, she runs for everyone else, so, every wolf has to have a bit of running room and room to howl 
.
Ive varried my routine now.
Intstead of doing heavy lifting with a lot of weights and few repetitions, (basically, a hundered of each machine), I now do half of the weights with 200 reps.
The first time I tried that, I felt 'funny'...and passed it off as nothing.
The second time I tried it, I had a bad reaction!
Soon as I left the YMCA, I felt a pressure on my chest like my COPD was coming on with a vengence!!
Then, I started going to sleep, and couldnt stay awake...(havent done that for quite some time now)....
When I got home, I asked my Wife for something cold to drink...after taking two sips, I was FREEZING!!! I was actually shaking, and I couldnt stop... It was a good thing that it was a few days after Christmas, because my Son bought me a 'heated throw' and my wife plugged that puppy in and after a half hour or more, I finally stop shaking... (Yea, I figured it was my heart acting up, but, Im a mean old fool and was determined that this wasnt going to beat me, so, I went back and did the same thing over and over again!!).
I havent had any reaction lately, since that one day, which Im thankful of, and as Im here, its proof positive that it hasnt killed me yet LOL
I have been able to go down to 3 vicodins a day now, instead of 4 every time I go to exercise session. (I would take my vicodins 20 minutes before I left for exercise, then, after about the third machine or forth, I would take the other tablet out of my pocket and take it with the bottle of water my wife would fill up for me. People knew I was doing it, but, everyone sees I walk with my two canes and they always give me encouragement to keep goiing, so they never say a word about my 'extra pill'
But, since I havent been doing the 'heavy lifting', I find that I can go down to 3 pills again...(sure, I still keep the 4th one in my pocket in case I 'really' need it, but am always glad to come home and put it back in the bottle and leave it there for another day).
I finally had to contact a company to manage my bills... They contact my Credit Card Companies and get a lower rate and I just pay them out of my bank account.
With all the mounting bills I amassed, by being in the hospital, (yea Honey, tell me I should go in again then sweat on how we are going to pay those bills LOL).
Yea, I know, hospital bills down charge you interest rates, but, when your roof leaks and you need a new one, cars break down and you gotta get them running, and my medicine for my heart runs me up quite a bit, plus her meds, well, you find that you can run into trouble pretty easily.
Sure, I know that my Credit Score will be in the tank after this, but, I couldnt go with bankruptsy and not pay the people I owe money to...Just not my way of cheating them out of cash that I owe them...
I tried to call the Credit Card Companies and get a lower rate, but, they wouldnt budge, so, I told them, its either that, or you only get one percent, instead of the fifteen percent you have been charging me...(If they would of came down to seven or eight, I would of kept paying them, but, since they upped my payment rate now, since January for the same amount that I was paying before, they can talk to that company about gettting thier money now. Less than six years I will be out of debt with the cards, and will start whipping down the hospital bills after that, so that I can go, knowing that I left my family in good financial shape!
(Provided the good LORD lets me stay that long on this wonderful Earth that HE has blessed us with).
Obama Care... Yea Right! Didnt stop me from going into this mess, of massive Medical Bills, so I could lose my house if I hadnt taken this route, and all other things, but, cant blame that on the President, just his policies... But, what the difference, I dont like the Republicans idealouge either, so, I didnt vote for anyone this time, (since my and your vote dont count, and the electorial college still runs the joint).
I refuse to vote now, until they dissolve that way of electing our President, since we are capable of thinking for ourselves and its not 1776 anymore, sheesh ...
I wish you well....
