Jersey's "Me Too" Journal

It's things like this that make me realize how lucky I am to be able to get out of bed each morning and get on with my day. Life can get turned upside down really quickly and without warning.
I spoke with him today. A few years back he had a stress test. The result was quadruple bypass surgery. They gave him medication that they said he would have to take for life. Since he wasn't working, he lost his job and health benefits, but the medical bills were paid. The meds were expensive, so he figured he would stop taking them until he got a job. As he put it "then bigger then shit, about a month after I stopped taking them, I had a major stroke that left me completely blind".

We did have a great conversation about old times, like 34 years ago! He was a character then, and still is. He is in good spirits.

You're right TT. Makes me think how everything we take for granted, can be gone tomorrow.
 
Yes, it is sad. Charlie was a great guy. Yes he was 74, but it was still a shock to everyone...

And 74 these days is not really that old. I have a cyclist friend who is in his 80's and he still trains 2.5 + hours 6 days a week. He's part of a club and he takes what he does seriously. He competes in races all the time and often wins in his age and class. I kind of look up to the guy, he's super tough and not very personable but he's a hell of a good rider- trains in the rain, snow, whatever.
He reminds me a lot of my grandfather- who was a boxer and just an all around great athlete he was gruff and miserable at times but he loved to train and battle it all out in the gym- that's what kept him going.

Hiya JD!
 
What weight are you down to?
224. Doesn't sound like much, 238 to 224, but according to Fitday I'm averaging losing 1.4 a week which is right on my goal. Slow and steady. I honestly believe the loss is almost all fat. 9 lbs to go.

Weight still up 1.5 lbs from Saturday:hmmm:
 
My last run at 405, ended with 395, and I took a break. I haven't been DL'ing much lately, but the 375 felt good. So maybe I'll finally get there.

...and I saw that 505 in your journal TT :clapping: .

Cardio
Elliptical machine, different machine. Cardio/aerobic program, level 10, 30 minutes.

Apparently I have gained 1-2 lbs on my cut since middle of last week, and I have no idea why. Stalling I understand. But I have actually gained weight suddenly, and my diet is exactly the same as it has been. :yell:

I know! Maybe I'm adding mass :daydream:.
 
You too Jake! (nice seeing you post again)

Thanks JD. As long as you dont hate me for not being an animal lover :gosh:

Im going to the gym tomorrow, and have my diet all in order!

So yes im baaack :D
