I weighed in this morning on my scale: 173.4 pounds. We're going to forget about all the old weigh-ins, because I really am not sure where I stand against those scales. I know I said at one time that my scale matched the Pound Plunge scales, but that was before I found out that scales don't work in my old apartment. So 173.4 will be my starting off point!
Tyler and I have gone for walks the past three days, and we went a couple of other times last week. It was supposed to be nasty nasty hot out today, but it didn't happen. The temps never made it out of the mid-80's, and the wind was blowing. Thank you to the thunderstorms that loomed all day!
So my shoulder is really hurting. I got a cortisone shot a couple of weeks ago, but it did nothing. I had an MRI before that, and it showed tendonitis and extreme inflammation, and an "impingement" of my muscle in there. That means the blood flow was restricted or something like that. So now I go to Physical Therapy next week. I'm looking forward to it. Today it hurt to even walk. Makes it hard to be active.
I have a random goal. It's a way long range goal. Like, I may achieve it when I'm old. Well, I won't be in good enough shape when I'm old, but when I'm in my 40's maybe. Every summer there's an annual bike ride across Iowa (to find out more about it, I'll be writing about it in my other blog sometime this week. I've gotta find an article or something to add with it). I want to participate in it. I don't own a bike. I haven't been on a real bike since Jr. High. But that's OK. Eventually, when I'm in fairly good shape, I'll get myself a bike and start training. Not now though. I'll stick with stationary bikes in the Fitness Center :)
That's all for now. I'll be updating this every week!
