Well, the seminar was a few days ago. First, let me say that it was well worth the effort and highly recommended. Linda and I are both excited about making changes in our lifestyles. A healthier diet is probably the first step. We are working our way toward that right now. I have already lost 3 pounds. I realize that this is mostly just the gimme weight and it will get harder as I go along.
I have been playing basketball for the last several years and this has been good for me. However, this alone has not been enough to keep my weight in control and I have developed numerous aches and pains over the years. Back pain. Shoulder pain. You name it I probably had it. One morning I looked down at the number of different medicines I was taking for my aches and pains and took it as a wake up call. I stopped taking all of the medicines and decided this needed to be tackled a different way.
This takes us to the second part of my motivation. I have decided that I will try and tackle my aches and pains through exercise. I have added weight training to my routine. While it is still early the results look promising. My back is not hurting and neither is my shoulder. I think my knee is getting better also. Last night I was able to say well I only did 20 ab crunches. For those of you who know me this is phenomenal. In the past, the thought of doing more than 5 crunches was a laugh. Now I look forward to it.
With all of this training I am doing, watch out basketball dudes. Here I come.
