Played a little wii at the house before going to Armadillo's mexican food.

That's all the exercise the fatman project got today.

Then to Dillon early to bed to be rested for a day of skiing.

Good night!

216.0

OK we made it to Trinidad Colorado at about 11:30 ish. Stopped at the Trails End motel on main street 49.95 good deal.

Have a blood test lined up for the hospital right down the street here in Trinidad.

Good to go sleep time.....................

Not much of a fitness blog lately.

I AM OUT of the hospital ! Thank Goodness!!

OK I have to vent.

It looks like now for the next 2 to 3 months. I will be on a ____ blood thinner starting with Lovenox shots. I will give myself a shot every 12 hours for the next 7 days.

Plus at the same time once a day. I take a Comaodin pill.

Arghhhh that's going to be for the next 2 to 3 ____ months.

Also I have to get a blood test every other day to make sure my INR levels are right.

Check my temperature & my blood pressure 4 times a day.

So.....listen & learn from other peoples experiences ........ I will never do an elective surgery again. I will live with a little discomfort. What I am talking about is.

I had a Pilonidal cyst on my back side right at the top of my cute little tan butt.

It bothered me once or twice a month sometimes it would go for months never acting up.

Not that big a deal right? Right....... NO instead of just saying no big deal. I had to mess with myself & my health.

Now I have to take it easy not do this, not do that. But do all that _____ stuff above.

So the moral to the story is never do an elective surgery. Just tough it out. Things can be a lot worse. However, even though all this ____ has happened. I am still going skiing with Greg. I will survive. I will deal with it. So green slopes only for me. We are going to keystone. Been there done that pretty easy if you want it to be.

Got to wear a helmet doctors orders. Big head already, now a BIGGER head.

214.0

OMGoodness................ I am still in the hospital.

I have to get out of here. I want to go skiing with Greg.

I might design Hospitals but I really do not like being a patient.

The stay is great for the design process. I know first hand what, when, how it works.

BUT............I lay, sit, pace, watch TV, blog, face book, my space watch movies etc.

Then the nurse comes in asked how are you takes your vitals (107 77 could not be better).

I get a shot of LOVENOX in my belly every 12 hours which I do myself.

Then a pill of Coumadin 5mg twice a day.

All of this to thin my blood.

There is no real reason in my limited mind that I should have to stay here.

I CAN DO IT MYSELF.

212.8 hospital scales

I am still in the Hospital!

Started out as a great day! BUT did not end up good.

Up & out to work after a few cups o coffee.

Talked with my brother David. Thats him in the black shirt fixing one the cars.

He is TRYING to lose weight & get in shape.

But you know what Yoda says about TRY "there is no try young skywalker there is only do or do not.

I think he is doing the Atkins thing. He says some nutrition professional's said you need to cheat every couple of weeks. But I do not think so. I will monitor his progress but cheating never works.

Exercise & eat right is the way to fitness period end of sentence.

My brother thinks this a challenge between us but it is definitely not.

I started 01.04.2010 to help myself feel better & be healthy.

Today was a pretty good day for the fatman. Feeling good, looking good, & smelling good !

217.8

After work 12:00 ish we do half a day Fridays.

P+W had a play day went to play broom hockey in Addison Square Garden Ice Skating Rink......free food, free beer, free broom hockey.

Did not do jack!

Ate some eggs & cheese for breakfast went to Starbucks.

Wrong I did do jack..........

Helped Greg clean the gutters at Aunt Mary's house and that was a lot of working out.

So I think that counts.

Meet Chelsea at On the Border ate a chicken, cheese, bell peppers, & onion, fondue thing with no tortillas & no chips. Well actually I had 2 or 3 big chips but no more.

Back to the condo load up & head for home.

Joy drove home got there at 9:00ish.

Unpacked & went to bed so did a little not a lot.

Should have walked Jack but ...... NOT!

Starbucks get some coffee & hot water for Theraflu. Then pick up Joy from Aunt Mary's.

To campus walked around the only exercise I got.

Ate at Atami Sushi I had lettuce wrap & only one piece of sushi.

Bad day for the program but good stuff for Greg & family.

223.1 ?

No scales but i feel FAT!

Friday again ..... I love Friday ........ don't ya!

Cooked some eggs with cheese for breakfast had some coffee of course.

Got to work having another great day. Detailing in Revit.

I/We my pod group (workstations) were doing 10 to 20 push ups every hour but the PICC line keeps me from doing any repetitive moment.

Really limits the results that I want to achieve. Oh well I should use it as an excuse uh!

Were going to College Station to visit Chelsea this afternoon. Greg, Joy & I are going to Aggie land Saturday.

So I did nothing else ate some chicken & rode to College Station.

NO exercise. bad

223.1

oh yea great day!
Ate some lettuce for breakfast was in a hurry. So weird I know a handful of lettuce and COFFEE.
Walked the stairs...basement to 3rd floor remember exercise when ever you can.

Started working on a new project at work was trained on Revit months ago. Now I am actually using the software. It is pretty cool & easy. I like it!
So I worked through lunch lost track of time.

Had to go to the doctors at 2:00 for my cyst infection thing.
Got home at 4:30 ish. Ate some rotisserie chicken for a snack. Changed clothes & went to ride my bike all the way to Winter Park Nursing Home about 5 miles one way.
My mom is doing pretty good.
check her out.



Now I have to ride all the way home ohh... got half way to Megatel Homes at Brand & Cambpell. Called Joy to come get me. I was sooo tired. WHAT A WHIMP !

Ate some delicious chicken & green peas. Wish I could have some peanut butter.

223.6

Wow check it out! Weighed in this morning. I think the project is working. What do you think?



Walked to subway at lunch about 1.5 miles round trip. Ate a salad grilled chicken got double meat. Not like home cooked.

Monday, Monday a day like any other day. I am so excited I just can't hide it! Up late went to get the PICC line checked. Had a couple of cups at the house. Sausage a slice o cheese.
Walked the stairs, good start.
Blood drive at the office today. Cannot give because of the hospital stay etc. Which is bad. I hold the record for the most blood giving at the office.
Stairs down at lunch. Went to the park to read & walk for an hour.
Had snacks for the blood givers so i snacked on cheese & meat slices NO CARBS. Oops I did eat one Ritz cracker.
Stop by see mom. Then home Joy, Jessica made steak, brussel sprouts, & mixed vegetables.
Watched Couples Retreat & walked/ran/and weights for the entire movie. Remember no right arm PICC line.

227.1 it is going to be hard to lose much more got to feel good about the fitness.

Happy Valentines day!
Pot of coffee plus 2 sausage patties with a slice of cheese between.

Sunday, made it to church Jessica & Greg late left with out them.
Headed to taco bueno after church keeping with the diet had 2 sides of chicken fajita meat on a side of lettuce with grated cheese & some pico on top ($2.87 cheap).

Headed over to Winters Park Nursing home to check on Mom. Moved her to room 407. There was a large crazy afro american evangelistic woman that was hell bent on saving my already saved Mother. She said that she was her room mate because god had called her to save her. But my Mother just needs some physical therapy & some good rest.
David & Gail came to take Mom to see Al. I told them how good I was doing with the project. He said no way that you lost that much weight since January 4th. But I have with exercise & eating right.

Got back to the house Joy was in a cleaning frenzy. So I got Greg vacuuming me dusting it quickly became an all afternoon ordeal. But whew it really needed to be done. Even scrubbed the tile floor with a cleaning stuff & a brush.

Then got dressed in some warm clothes because it is cold. Went all the way up Murphy road turned right to racetrack north to the rock road to the cemetery scary then to Kimbrough. Walked the east side then started across the track. Bam the alarm went off in the stadium scarred the heck out of me. Never happened before & I have done this many times. I ran very quickly..........I could see myself calling Joy saying guess what? Back to the house same way just backwards.

That was 1 1/2 hours of pretty hard bike riding.
Joy having left overs. I pan cooked some chicken with onions, peppers & spices. Through it on some leaves of lettuce & ate it up.

Hit the hand weights a little before bed. 4 sets of 25 about 6 different basic exercises.

227.0
sorry to show it but i think i must BOO me shirtless

Did not get up till late. Drank some coffee cooked a couple of eggs. Dealing with the open wound cyst is really a pain. But also a pain is just everyday stuff really makes it hard to get & stay in shape.

Check out the pick I have lost some weight.


What do you think?
ex. Mom, bills, kids, snow, cars, kids, dishes, clothes, money etc. etc.
Some is fun though like Greg tackling the big Snowman we made yesterday.
Oh I need to count the Snowman building as exercise yesterday or is that being active not sitting in the house watching TV.
Managed to run/walk the dog about 1.5 miles plus ride the bike a good 1 1/2 hour.
Joy made dinner pork chops, peas, & cut up potatoes grilled good but can not eat them. Well had 3 little bitty ones good stuff. Wish I had some peanut butter right now. I really love peanut butter.

Then made big snowman with Greg. That's working out & bonding with my son.

Go to mom's help her pack take to Winter park Nursing home. Had to pick her up about 6 times carry her a few feet. That should have burnt some calories. maybe not she doesn't weigh 110 pounds.
Did my first infusion through my PICC line.
Jessica & Joy made dinner grilled chicken,with peppers/onion, broccoli. They made fried breaded chicken strips,  & okra. love that stuff but i said no NO then i ate one okra & a tiny piece of the chicken.
