On the second week of my treatment for cancer I have many things that I have to contemplate -and that is just what I have been aware for five years -the new piece to the puzzle of my life is my dad reappearing in my life. It was of my own choosing but I founf out I am not as ready to face this new challenge as I though I would be. It put me in a great state of anxiety which I would rather not have. But everything happens for a reason and I guess I will find out as soon as I write this letter that he suggests I write to sort of "break the ice" with him. It has been 10 years at the least since I last talked to him. That means I have to fill him in on what has been happening in our family for the time is what not present in it.

Ok enough about that my health and fitness is taking its baby steps I am still working out in my apt. with calisthenics and my db’s -I will try to do it more than once a week the issue is where do I get the motivation. I know it has to come from deep down inside -I am all tapped out -Hopefully things will change with the help and support that I am recieving from my friends and family.

Until next time

I have not updated here in awhile since this text area where I am writing has been giving me problems. I was not able to update until now.

Well I have started my treatments for prostate cancer and they will last until Sept. 5th -this was my first day and it will be the same time every day @5:15 pm est  here in Cleveland Ohio USA @ The VA Hospital -if you dont know I am a Marine Corp Veteran.

Thank god since I have not worked since 2004 and have been in school online at Capella University -Currently I have taken a needed break from school since my diagnosis due to my grade being affected from this.

I still workout on a occasional basis in my home -doing the ab roller and dumbbells when I have the motivation to do them. I am frustrated with myself and I have lost some weight since then I am now down to 159 a little slimmer but I still need to be more buff and lose some of my spare tire -It is just so hard even with the equipment here at home. I would of never thought it will be so hard -Time will tell. Maybe after the treatments are over I will give it another try Wish me luck all

Until next time
