Okay, so now I'm forty....I probably have more metabolic issues than most, I've a small herniated area, NOT a full blown hernia, just one with potential. My diet is relatively healthy, yet not currently being monitored closely as in the past. I've recently minimalized my caffeine intake and gone back to nothing but water. And while this may seem trivial, it has made a world of difference. So now, I'm debating on whether or not to start working out now, or wait until I see my doctor on the 24th. I'm really missing the gym, but I'm trying to be smart here, which, for those of you who know me, is a very difficult task.
I'll re-check my stats tonight if possible.....still have a dinner crowd to feed.
In my opinion I would do some low intensity workouts to start. Some stationary bike and some slow paced treadmill. I would check with the doc before going balls to the wall. Best of luck to ya bud.

That was what I had in mind. As much as it will drive me crazy, I'm going to have do lift 25-30% of what I would normally do, but only after I worked my way back in slowly. Even if there is no pain initially, I will have to be careful.
Thanks!
Its alright buddy gotta start somewhere. I probaby wouldnt touch a weight until given the ok by the doc. Temptation is to much to start pushing more weights once you pick up a weight.
Yes, I hope to. Time is always a problem, but if I don't get back into the groove soon I'm afraid I won't at all.
I will post some stats as soon as I take a few measurements, and I will post my diet plan as soon as I figure out, or decide, (or am otherwise instructed by wise "problematic" holistic-trainer-guru-chick) what I want to do with this old rusty body of mine.

Not really that big.... but big wasn't my goal. And while I would love to be a monster for a day, at 40 years old I think it wiser to go for fairly large and mostly lean.

Yep. It is time.
Just keep in mind how stretched I am for time these days.....and how damn tired I am. Not to sound whiney, but this 14 hour a day/six day a week thing is starting to catch up with me.
Although I know training will help alleviate some of the stress,fatigue, brain fog, yada yada yada.

Alright, I e-mailed you something. A very lengthy, drawn-out, txt. something.
Let me go to the mall to buy a new spandex body suit and a pink lifting belt and we'll get this show on the road again.
