healing and rebooting my exercise program

January 26, 2014

my foot is healing  from me apply ice on it and taking it easy. i thought it was cured but while on my hand and knee scrubbing my tub it still had some pain in it. the swelling went down along with the pain. in bed i only feel slight pain in the back of my thighs.

i know i have tight hamstrings and never stretched them out. planning today to start do squats again and that will stretch them out. my wife thinks my foot pain is from me possible having diabetes which runs on both sides of my family tree. my brother was diagnosis with this last year.

it could be diabetes or arthritis or i sprung or broke my foot. i remember putting on my heavy boots and slamming the boot against my naked foot pretty hard and having some pain that went away. then at the end of the day taking off the boot to all the pain and swelling. time will tell.

since i haven't exercised with my recent injury and back going out again my year is not starting off well. this morning i got on the scale and had gained two pounds. that put me on notice to get going again starting today. that's why i doing the squats.

still in the game and just starting up my exercise program. got to re lose the weight and then some. at work i will start taking the steps again. will try and be careful as to not re injure myself in any way. i will need to replace my fatter meats like hamburger, steak, etc with leaner versions and add as many vegetables as i can get.

starting tomorrow i will add pecans to my daily lunch. my father is law grows these and send us a large box of these every year. well take care and God Bless. i will talk to you soon and update you how my exercising and diet is going.

Healing

January 16, 2014

can't go to physical therapy yet until my insurance stuff is worked out. my plan is a high deductible where insurance pays after paying out my pocket $4500.00. waiting for my wife first injection to process in order to meet that deductible.

my wife told me that the hospital she got the procedure at send in their bills very late. she gets help thru a program to pay for most of the cost, so trying to save as much money as possible before going to physical therapy.

in the meantime i've been putting ice and heat on my leg and butt. also haven't been exercising yet. my pain has went down a lot and i can walk better than ever. i had been stooping from the intense pain.

improved my diet to help compensate for my lack of exercise. i've been eating a lot of salads lately for dinner. for lunch taking soup, and chili.

so take care world and God Bless you all.

body burning

January 5, 2013

happy new years everyone. still dealing with severe burning pain in my legs and buttocks due to injuring my back again. I've been in pain for two weeks.

this was caused by overdoing it by doing the extreme interval training off of You Tube. everyday at work I have a  hard time sitting still in my chair from the pain and it is hard to walk. the pain comes and goes and my legs gets these severe leg spasms.

I'm trying to see a doctor because I started a new job as a temporary and trying to stay in the companies good graces. this morning I've googled home treatment options and will begin to do them. It said to take ibuprofen, alternate with heat and ice on the area, do light workouts, stay as active as possible in daily life and do stretches.

I will continue to post my progress on this front. take care of yourselves and God Bless.
