Today, like yesterday I woke up to a light snow. Same as yesterday. The first one for the year, so winter is approaching. Temperature is about 32 degrees
Yesterday I fooled around with the CJ5 project for a little while. It’s been a while since I worked on it, it seems the frustration from the turn signal lights annoyed me enough to avoid it. Yesterday I worked on the bumper and plow frame instead.
I also took a day off from my daily exercise. In December 2024 I weighed in at 234#, today it was 174. I figured I deserved a day off.
My technique has been pretty simple, move something, lift something, ride something that human powered.
December I decided it was time, so I did some evaluating. I struggled to do a single push up, my current personal best is 19, with multiple set equally 100 for a day.
Weight loss has helped with my breathing, my sinus headaches are almost completely a thing of the past. My high blood pressure and high cholesterol is better. That pressure that resembled an elephant sitting on my chest has disappeared. Yet not one of the doctors, from the 3 or 4 cardiologist, the allergy doctor and my regular doctor suggested that weight loss might help. I had to figure that out on my own.
I guess if I had to give anyone advice, it would simply be, get off the couch and move. Walk, jog, lift something light or heavy, do yoga, Tia chi, etc, etc.
I've found not planning a specific routine allows me to motivate myself better. It might not be the best for the Mr. Universe contest, but for me it works best to just stay healthy.
