Thanks to every one

Hey thanks guys, and Girls for all you kind words of support. I'm currently working threw some set backs. We will get to that a bit later. I got to meet two real cool people last night, Marty, and his wife. To of the nicest people that you will ever get a chance to meet. Hell if they can put up with me for a few hours they can put up with any one.  Just ask Ken some times I can be a real pain in the ass. Marty,and his wife truly are inspiration people, and I can see why there champs. I can't wait tell we can do it again hopefully sometime real soon.

 On to my set backs, where to start. Well first off pounding your body for 6 months with out a break isn't real a good thing to do. I'm the kind of person that needs to be going at it full force all the time, or I will loose interest. So I have had a few problems in the past that have now come back full force. For starters my shoulders I have real bad tendinitis now. I have had it in the past as well but never this bad. So I have been to the doctor a few times, I have been on a few different pills, and I have had xrays. I was told to lay off working out for three weeks. With me that is not going to happen, and I no in the long run I'm just making it worse, but I feel if I stop I will not be able to pick back up. Yes I know that I can still do cardio, but for me I always need to do more. If you had already forgotten I started off Circut training. I did that 5 days a week along wiht cardio 6. Yeah i was hitting it real hard to start. It really paid off I have lost right around the 80 pound mark in just about 5 months. On the other hand of things I was real tired all the time feeling beat up and run down. Well after Ken left the gym for a while then showed back up like a lost dog on the front porch. He got me more into the weight lifting aspect or working out. I find it more enjoyable to do that then what I was doing. Well one day at work I was helping unload a truck (keep in mind that is not part of my job I just like to help out when I can) Well I felt a burning in my MY right arm that went up to my shoulder. I couldn't use it for a few weeks it hurt that bad. Any way time had passed it felt better, and I started using it again. Well let's just say after a while it just got worse and worse. i told me doctor about it the first time it happen. He just old me it was, because I was fat, and I needed to loose some weight. Well I recently went back to him the pain was now something that I was living with everyday, and it was getting worse everyday.  Any ways that brings us to today. The doctor has told me not to use it for three weeks. I tried not using it for a few days if felt worse not using it. He has me on  Prednisone for now, and I'm do to go back in a few weeks.

Enough about that here is where I tell you about my set backs. Seems that I have some how lost sight of what I was working for, along with my lazer like Focus Ken keeps on telling me I have. Well the last few weeks haven't been all that great for me eating wise. I will do good during the week then pig out weekends. I'm  person that would only have a feel day once every few months. I have also picked up my old habit of drinking agian. There was a time in my life that I would drink 4 some times more times a week. I haven't done that in about 5 years, and I find myself falling back into old habits. I was also for the longest time a heavy smoker, I haven't had a cig in I think 5 years now. I do how ever enjoy a cigar every now and then. I have been starting to smoke those a few times a week now.

I'm thinking that it might be time to take a step back, and take a look at where I'm at, and where I want to be. I need to get my focus back to where it was before.  Well thanks for listening to me folks.
