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...

I went to my exercise session at the YMCA today, and I did my usual routine, and listened to my Wife 'give me lip' about doing too much again...sheesh!
I started out with the abdominal machine and instead of starting at 80 pounds, I started out at 90. So, I did my usual 800 reps, and by that, I had to bump it up to 120 pounds! My Wife was fuming! You NEVER went to 12 she said, and Im thinking, if I dont ramp it up, how am I supposed to get anywhere?
Instead of the usual 50 pounds for the torso twist, I put it at 70 pounds, and did my usual 300 reps. If she had stuck around for that one, she wouldnt have noticed, because its not as noticeable as the abdominal machine, where "she" is the one changing the weights on it, because I have to adjust myself, and lessen the tension on the wires, so I cant hide anything from her on that one LOL.
Every time, when I get to the leg lift machine, I start nodding off! After being 'worn out' from all the other exercises, rowing, and the others I dont know what the names are, but, will eventually pay attention enough to find out, it wears me down enough that I nod off between eat 'set' on the leg lift (I do sets of 10s, and it adds up to 100 reps).
My buddy from work, (whats it been, about 5 years now since I retired??), was standing before me, and talking to me about being the only person he ever saw, SLEEPING on an exercise machine LOL...sheesh!! I havent seen him in about 8 years or better, and he had his boy with him, (uh, the 14 year old boy was only a baby, when I saw him last, so, maybe its been longer than I thought!!).
I didnt recognise him, and I didnt even know his son, (since he was all grown like that), and his Wife was there and I didnt recognise her either!! Man, this is really tough, what a good many years will do to people's looks. She always had a curly 'do', and it was straight, so I told my Wife, she could have ran into me and I wouldnt have known her LOL... The only person I didnt see was his Daughter, and since she is the same age as my Daughter, she probably doesnt want to 'associate' with the family at the YMCA!!
The last time I saw a freind of mine, I worked with, he saw that I was sleeping on the same machine LOL... Apparently they both recognised my Wife, and pointed to me, because I have put on so much weight that I am now, unrecogniseable to them also, and she gave them the nod and they woke me up to chat... How the time has flown by, and how old we have gotten and different we all look... Time waits for no one I see!
We get home, and my Wife has been gone all day long, (tending to me and running me around), that my Daughter felt she 'needed' my Wife to go and get her 'boyfriend'!! Oh, what a bust up this was... My Daughter still doesnt realize that the Sun doesnt rise and set on her, and her 'wants' *sigh*
She eventually convinced her 'bud' to come back and drag her boyfriend over to our house and take him back... I gotta take that kid aside someday and ask him why he allows himself to be 'used' like that, by my Daughter?! I dont like it when my Wife enables my Daughter, and certainly dont like it when her friends enable her either!! It makes it harder on the rest of us...
Well, its 11pm, and I just finished off the salad that we had for supper, (I learned the hard way, not to wait til the next day to eat that left over salad LOL...it simply doesnt 'agree' with me, though, it does taste delicious as the vinegar and oil soaks into the various things that are in the salad, but, its a fast track through my body and thats not always good ROTFLOL
OK, Daughter has had her bath, now its time for me to soak my tired muscles so they dont ache tomorrow. I do feel it on my back now, so that hot bath-soak will just do me wonders...
I wish you well...
