Canucklehead's Non-Training and Fat-Gaining Log

**Canucklehead** · 01-25-2012, 05:52 AM

Hey peoples, I figured I would start a journal here because I am in the two month weight loss contest, and to show you how a fat Canadian with a bad back trains/doesn't train.

I am 30 years old, and have multiple injuries from 3 motorcycle accidents and 7+ car crashes, mainly back problems. I have a degenerated L5-S1 disk and pretty much constant sciatica issues, and the right side of my upper back has a lot of scar tissue in the muscles from them being squished when I bounced off of a curb with my back in a motorcycle accident when I was 18. My right knee has been damaged a few times as well (torn ACL once, dislocated knee cap a few times), my right elbow has been ground down to bone on pavement (motorcycles, they're awesome!), I separated/dislocated my right wrist a couple times, etc, etc, etc. I could go on for a while...

Anyways, here's what I did today...

Chest + bis

I was over at my uncle's to check on his doggies and let them out to pee, so I used his bowflex for some chest stuff before I went to work.... nothing to interesting, presses, flyes, did some partials to go past failure, got a decent pump... meh....

Hey guise... I had a lame day today... Yesterday morning I had a small red lump (about dime sized) on my forearm, it was sore to the touch, and hard feeling. I thought I must have hit it on the bedpost or table while I was sleeping or something, didn't think too much of it. This morning when I woke up it was fuckin hyoooge (not really, about 2" x 3"-4") and spreading up my arm, hot and sore to the touch. I went to our family doc, she was concerned that it might be a blood clot due to the amount of swelling, and sent me to the ER. So after 8-9 hours in the hospital, I just got home now. It's not a blood clot (thank GOD!) but I do have a nasty infection in my forearm, and am on heavy antibiotics for the next 10 days. No idea how the hell I got it either. No weights today, I took the doggy for a quick run when I got home from the hospital, and that's about it for today. I'm gonna go eat now, I didn't eat yet today except for a handful of peanuts.

Yeah buddy.

I am for sure not slacking off on this shit any more, I want to live to see my daughter grow up into a sarcastic teenager and walk her down the aisle when she marries some jack-ass that I don't like... I don't wan't to be some half-dead useless fat slob when I hit my 40's.

**GeorgeForemanRules** · 02-07-2012, 11:35 PM

Good luck with your goals.

that's creepy how weird shit happens like that. My husband got the same thing (almost) just a small red spot on his clavical (sp?) thought it might have been maybe a spider bite?? but it got huge as well and took FOREVER to heal.. just weird.

Yeah I still don't know what caused it... the swelling is going down and it doesn't feel like burning inside my arm, but I still have a hard lump under the skin???? Weird indeed. My 5-year-old daughter thinks I may have a bug or something hiding in there, haha.

**Canucklehead** · 02-09-2012, 04:11 PM

I feel like ass.. the antibiotics I'm on are fucking with my system. The lump in my arm is getting smaller, and doesn't feel like burning inside, so I guess they are working anyway. Last night was my first night back at work since being in the hospital on Monday, I was pretty drained after work so I just did a little light delts and tris, just so my muscles don't shrink, lol.
