the last half of 2008 has been a struggle for me fitness wise,  i hurt my shoulder  in late july and haven’t been able to lift a wieght for my chest or shoulder since.  instead of lifting i ran on the treadmill and track alot, i am proud of myself for that because i hate running.  clean eating seems to be out the window the last 2 months since i have been home after surgery,  sitting home alone most of the day is no fun and i ate really bad for the holidays. 

i am really looking foward to next year when i can get back in the gym and go to the max,  my shoulder is feeling alot better and i am starting to get some movement going thanks to PT.  i have started to run again and do some light cardio without any shoulder discomfort ( positive signs thank god).  i really need to do good in 2009 because i am getting married in 2010 and i want to look my best for my wife to be, but must importantly i would love to get my future wife to workout as well, she does not share the passion for working out or eating healthy like  i do, so that is probaly my biggest challange of 2009.  i have a big year infront of me and i can’t wait, bring on 2009,   i hope everyone has a happy new year and reaches all there goals for 2009.  best wishes and good luck

went to the doctor today, it has been  almost 3 weeks since my shoulder surgery, and the doc says everything is going good.  i feel alot better, each day i am in less pain and most importantly able to move my shoulder alittle more.  the doc said i don’t need a sling anymore, which is good because i hated the sling, my shoulder feels alittle strange not being in a sling but that will last prob a day.  i also started pt which i am exicited about, i am on the road to recovery and can’t wait intil i am back in the gym, i know it will be a while but the first step has been good mentally for me.  hope all is well out there and take care everyone.

i just had surgery on my shoulder.  tomm. will be 1 week.  i cant say that i have eaten as good as i would have liked,since i cant go to the gym right now.  thanksgiving was hard, i kind of threw the clean eating out the window. i cant wait to go back to the gym, i feel trapped in my apartment going from the tv to the computer.  sorry for the negative post, just venting
