A GOOD DAY:


I had a very exciting moment last Thursday in spite of the goose egg for the weigh-in. I saw my doctor and after being on blood pressure pills for as long as I can remember...I'm now off of them. I used to have to take three pills a day! Now, nada. I'm very happy about that and the fact that I got zero on the scales that morning means nothing to me right now. WOW! One of my next goals is to finally be able to get rid of my sleep apnea machine...that would be terrific! This has been truly a life changing experience for me...if I can do it, anyone can.

During my visit with my doctor we spoke about the 100 km Challenge next year. He was very interested in joining me on this leg of my journey...c'mon Dr. Emery, let's do it. Anyways, I might need you somewhere along that trail!

What disease did cured ham actually have??

The Sarge introduced me to another new exercise last Saturday...will it ever end! Anyways i digress, this one you have to put two small balls on the floor and then get into the push up position. Then you cross your left leg over your right, then raise your left arm over your head (with the ball) and turn sideways. You're now got your left arm straight up and your head is looking at the ceiling...so your whole weight is being supported by just the right arm. Did I mention I still weigh 271 pounds! I'm looking at her like she's nuts...she's used to that look. She simply said..."you never know when the circus might need you"...oh and then she laughed and she laughed. So...I tried it...it wasn't graceful but I did a couple of them just to try it out. This boot camp thing is going to be hard!!!! I'm sure somebody is going to bring a camera and put it on YouTube.

Remember..."May you have the hindsight to know where you've been.
The forsight to know where your going,
and the insight to know when you're going too far."

Big Dave...out!
