Been a very very busy month since my last posting. The biggest bit was our vacation to Philly that turned into a Funeral at Philly. Don't waste your time sympathizing though; Uncle Butch would not much care for it. He lived his life his way. Wasn't always good to look at, downright scary at times, but he did live with distinction, honor, and a rough form of love that could only be summed up, "That's Butch!"
Today I worked out on the elliptical for one whole hour. Traveled a distance of 4.5 miles and burned off about 825 calories. I will strive to do this level of activity daily though strength training may suffer from such focus.
Also, currently right now I've had to opt out of strength training. It is only for the time being but I need some medical guidance on some long term difficulties. The tennis elbow I've got, now in both arms, has gotten aggravated to the point that I sometimes lose feeling in parts of my hands. Also my old shoulder injuries are painfully flaring up. Time for some cortisone shots - Orally I hear that it can effect my diabetes.
Hmmmm, apparently I've digressed a bit, still high from the workout. The point is that my new(er) goal is to have a 1200 calorie burn workout daily. This should bring my health (and weight) into proper line. Once I'm down to 230 - 240 lbs I'll switch to a maintenance level of workout. Maybe 800 calories per day.
We'll see... ...
