since i working on my back pain issue, i was forced to adjust my diet. back in physical therapy and after work on friday went to the emergency room. injured my big toe coming down the steps at home. was in severe pain in my toe for two days and ended up in the er.
the er doctor said my issue was a combination on gout and sprained foot. i was already taking medication for the gout before this latest incident. so to combat that i've cut sweets out of my diet. my understanding gout is a combination of diet and arthritis.
due to this change my work lunch will take a radical change. before to save money and time i had been taking potato chips, ding dongs, oatmeal pies and bottle water. now i will take more real food and make sure none of them are dessert snakes.
at my job everyone brings in bags full of candy in which i will have to say no too also. i had cut way back on soda since i was having stomach pain earlier this year. i may drink a soda like twice a week. this morning i was going to drank coffee at home but realized i put sugar in it, so i'm holding off until next weekend.
too much sugar causes my gout to inflame my big toes so i'm forced to limit it. on a scale of 1 thru 10 on a pain ratio chart, my pain hit a ten. my toe swole up and turned red and i had to hobble at work, at the hospital and at the pharmacy.
the doctor gave me some pain pills and told to stay off my foot for three days. so friday i called into work and told i couldn't make it in. i'm making changes to lose weight and keep my health stable.
still in the game and will have to adjust my exercise routine to keep my back from going out too. until next time take care and God Bless.

work outed out for week
April 13, 2004
good news i overcame my mental block and got up and done exercises for a week. someone commented on my mental block issue on google plus do just do something since it was better than nothing. after a fews days thinking about that statement i picked up some weight and had a go at it.
while on my back on the living room floor i did some chest presses and it felt good so i kept going. i would end doing arm curls, working my triceps, shoulder work, jumping jacks and wall pushups. i was pumped up to back in the game.
increased my work out time from 1/2 hour to 45 minutes a day and getting ready to add more exercises. then my back went out and was in pain and later had pain in my butt and leg.
my wife rubbed my back with some austrailain arthritis stuff and the pain went away from my back. the stuff slightly brought down my butt pain. i've applied ice on my back too to numb some of the pain. also my wife crohn disease came out her three month remission with a vengeance. she's got the full sickness back and we're hoping her next injection will help.
stayed in bed most of the day today trying to rest and catch up on some of my sleep. below is a picture of a graphic artist done of me that i meet on google plus. until next time take care and God bless.

Mental Block
April 5th, 2014
After walking around in pain for two months and another month to ease it afterwards, I've put a big mental block. I'm afraid to re injure my back again. After going years between my back going out, last year due to my journey to lose weight my back went out four times.
The last time was a big one in that I really hurt is very badly and then had to wait two months to save from paying out thousands like I did the year before that one. So instead of working out a lot for long periods of time which is my normal regiment, I've been skipping workout and only doing 15 minutes when i exercise.
My goal now is to break that mental fear of hurting my back again. Push myself to do more time and more days until it becomes a routine again. If you guys have good ideas of things you done to get over mental blocks, leave me a comment. Wish me luck. Until next time take care and God Bless.
