Goodbye 2009

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

This is the last post of 2009.  Sounds sad, but it does lead to the first post of 2010.  This was an extremely interesting year.

I think my foot really is on the mend now.  Trying some new medication and I think it works.  I feel like its strong enough where I can walk fairly decent lengths but know its still tender and can hurt and I risk reinjury.

I did work out in the gym today.  Certainly not as intense as a few weeks ago.  But I think I will be running again in 3 weeks.

Still end the year off on a good note.  I am under 250.

Weight: 248.4

Trying new medication

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I went to Doctor’s today.  Switcing medication, hopefully this will work better.

I forget how long I been like this, I think this Sunday will make 4 weeks or more.  I did work out.  The stationary bike is doable.  Certainly not as good as running.  But I guess it will have to do for now.

On track for recovery

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I think I’ll make it, I will be on track to start running again next week.  Hate not having much to say though.  I feel like I am just going through the motions.

Feeling the Healing

Monday, December 28th, 2009

So as I rest my feet, I can feel it actually getting better.

Still just maintaining my weight with diet.  Tomorrow I will be in the office so I can hit the stationary bike.

I think its healed enough where I can pull a sweat.

Gout is gone but pain persists

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

So I think my body has reduced the uric acid in it.  Now I just need to actually wait and let me foot heal.

I don’t think I will be able to work out normally again till the new year, and worse will not be at full speed and strength till mid January if I am lucky.

The good news is my weight is still down.

Weight: 249.0

In Canada, Not doing much

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

This is 3 weeks I believe that I have been hobbled.  Its amazing how much pain I am going though.

Anyway, I will go to Doctor’s on Monday or at least try to get some new meds.

No Weigh In, in Canada and my scale is not here.  But the good news is the last time I was here, the scale could not accomidate me cause it only went to 256.  So it can weigh me.  I jumped on and it reported 253.

Merry Christmas

Friday, December 25th, 2009

My foot is really flaky, I don’t know how long it will be before I heal.

Anyway Christmas is fun.  I actually am taking it easy till my foot will heal.  I think it will be New Years before I can run again.

Weight: 250.0

Christmas Eve

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

I recall several months ago I wanted to be 225 lbs by now.

Three weeks ago I was hoping to be 240.

Now I am struggling to get a decent workout.

Don’t read to much into the weight.  It was in the evening after a heavy Christmas Eve dinner with my sister and her family.

Weight: 251.0

Finally worked out

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I finally got into the gym today.  I tried out the stationary bike and I was having a hard time.  Looks like it’s gonna be a long road back to full speed.

I did some curls, bench, basic upper body stuff.  Next week looks promising.  Foot is getting better, this morning I woke up with very little pain.  Just tenderness.

Weight: 249.0

I think I will exercise tomorrow

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

I will see how I feel tomorrow.  I think I will be able to work out and will try my best.  I feel like there needs to be a push to work out again.  Before christmas gets here.

On a positive note, we have passed the shortest day of the year.  At least I can look forward to more sunlight and possible some decent morning runs again.
