Today I did my chest workout. I had to be very careful doing exercises that involved using my shoulders, which was all of them. Working through the pain was not easy. I think the shoulder is going to be more sore than my chest later on. I will definitely be taking pain medication tonight.
Next week I will be in Louisiana for a friend’s funeral. Then I will be in Texas to visit my Dad. It will be a break from working out unless we find a gym we can go to. But if not it will give my shoulders some time to heal.
This is my 9th week in the gym. I have lost 10 pounds and am starting to notice subtle changes in my body. Over all I am feeling pretty good. My back pain flares up sometimes though. Its just the result of the back surgery. Of course it is not nearly as bad as before the surgery. I am feeling strong.
I have to say though, I am still not as disciplined when it comes to eating. It’s because fried foods taste so good, and so do sugary drinks. Anyway, there is nothing new in this area. I have repeatedly eaten the wrong things. I can’t seem to help it.
Good job! Stick with it and you will get great results! If you have trouble with the food side… try and eat 1 less fried dinner a week.
Try cutting down first before going cold turkey 😉
