morning everyone

Morning Brett

Whew. Just took the dogs for a walk. First the two big ones, then the two little ones. Better for them, and a double workout for me.

Always good to get out and get moving. I need to do more of that myself!

I have to do it before it gets hot, or it doesn't happen.

Last time I tried taking my wieners for a walk, a couple deer came running out of the woods with a coyote chasing after them....

I'm lucky that once I get acclimated to summer heat, I love it. I was out mowing around noon the other day when it was 88 degrees and humid as hell. Didn't bother me a bit. Went out a few hours later when it was even hotter to use the weed-eater. That said, I'm still very much looking forward to getting out today while it's still nice and cool, as I'll take a 70 something degree day over a hotter day any time

I've never handled heat well, and it doesn't help that I'm lugging around an extra hundred pounds. My favorite summer temp is about 65. Over 75, and I'm really uncomfortable.

Yeah, I've put on a little extra and realized it really hurts when it gets hot out. The wife and I are looking into some fitness equipment so we can work out at home and not have any more excuses.

I'm convinced that as soon as we stop moving, our bodies begin to rot. Moving is the only way to keep all of the parts attached. We have to out run the grim reaper.

Yeah, with my sedentary job I don't do as much moving as I should and I try to make up for it with walks and exercise after work. Not doing as much as I'd like right now, but hoping to ramp it up over time.

Time is a race we all run. We start at the 1st breath and end with the last.
No one ever wins this race.

My wakeup call came earlier this spring when the vision issues I was having was diagnosed as a mild stroke. Until then, improved health was something that was easy to put off, but when the vision in my dominant eye impacted my ability to shoot, I took that as a smack from God to wake my ass up and get healthier. So far, so good but I did back slide about 3 lbs while on vacation. Two of them are back off, but I still have 10 to go before I'm happy. If I lose 6lbs, I'll be back to the weight I maintained while in the Air Force. I actually tried one of my old uniforms on just before going on vacation and it almost fit.

 

[Snapdragon]

My weight and health issues are way out of control right now. I've got to fight harder before the diabetes takes my eyes or my legs. I've seen it happen too many times.

Yup. No matter what your skin color, religion, political views, gender (or lack there of), no one gets out of this program alive....

 

[churchmouse]

I feel my weight is up right now. Vacation.......

 

[wtburnette]

Yeah, it's not easy. A few years ago when I first joined Anthem, I started working out a couple times a week, eating healthier and lost almost 30 pounds in pretty short order. I felt pretty good as well. Since then I've started eating a lot worse, have stopped most exercising, have put that weight back on, plus more and feel like crap. Need to get motivated again

The issues in my neck/shoulders keeps me from any regimented work outs.
I work about as hard as I can on my remodel/construction projects. That has to be enough. Any more would put me in a bad way.

You're always in motion, CM, whether it's "official" or not. I think you're good.

My "workouts" are all cardio related. Exercise bike, elliptical, walking with the wife and occasionally some hiking. I can't do regimented workouts either, just trying to keep the blood flowing

Agreed
