Hey...has anyone seen Pokey?:


Hello folks...I wish I had something interesting to say today but nothing is really coming to mind. The back is on the mend so I've been able to get back into the weight training today. The Sarge increased the weights on me today, she said I needed to be challenged. That was special. By the time I hit the showers my arms and shoulders felt like rubber! What a crazy feeling. It was really interesting trying to put my shirt on...my arms weren't functioning. My mind was telling them to do something and the arms wouldn't obey. To make matters even more interesting, I had a knot in my shoelaces...it took me 15 minutes to untangle and a great deal of concentration! My limbs went rogue on me...just call me Gumby!



The Sarge thought I should expound upon what some of my downfalls were to actually get to 336 pounds in the first place. Of course we all know this was my 30 year plan to gain this weight in an endeavour to raise funds for the hospital but she wanted me to go deeper then that. Apparently somebody had told her I had a weakness for O'Henry chocolate bars...I wonder who told her that (Rosie the rat). Yes it's true, I just love those things. It wouldn't be unusual to consume two of those in the evening. Of course they would be the king size as I feel I deserve to be treated like a king. One needs to be treated with respect according to their status in life! Hopefully Rosie doesn't read this one! Another downfall was simply eating what was the easiest and quickest, which usually means something unhealthy. I've been getting better in keeping a supply of healthy foods in the house so making a decision on what to eat isn't so riddled with drama and impulse. The other tidbit (i love timbits) I would like to comment on is that ever since I started exercising I haven't had the same cravings for sweets or the easy fix. I guess that's just another side benefit to the whole exercise crap...I mean program.

Just remember this...the man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on! I know some people who would call that just good management skills!

see ya,

Big Dave
