My BodyBlog

Just plugging along building features.

Getting things up on this site, like statistics.  You should start seeing things popping up here and there.  (Little by little, I’m not a super programmer or anything).

Next on the list is to get those popular blogs to show stats for a week, and for overall…

How am I supposed to work out now?  My wife was just put on bed rest, and we have a son.  That means I have to get home as soon as possible after work so I can take care of the little guy and my wife as well.

(Don’t know if I mentioned that we are almost at the end of our pregnancy… That’s what the bed rest is about.  My wife is having high blood pressure, as she did with the last pregnancy, and the doc is concerned that something similar to last time will happen (a child in the NICU, that is)).

Well, hope things will work out (I know they will… in the long run).

Not much working out toward the end of last week.  ( I have a good excuse! )  My son went in for surgery.  He had to have tonsilectomy, adnoidectomy and some sort of tympanostomy (needed tubes in his ears).

Good to say he is in GREAT health.  The kid is doing well!  He is definitely back to his normal self (maybe even better by now).

But needless to say it was a crazy week/end.

Well, now I’m back to work and ready to kick trash… or something to that effect  >

Sweet!  It worked!  

Upload all you want, folks.  Enjoy.

I am testing the image uploader… Let’s see how well this works!

Although I have begun working out (it’s a process), I still need to be more motivated…

I think that most of my problem is that I need better (not necessarily more) sleep.
And part of that problem is that I have a condition known as sleep apnea.  That means that my throat closes in the middle of the night, causing me not to be able to breath… which wakes me up several times per hour (though I’m not conscious of it), which means that my rest really isn’t.  Fortunately they have masks you can wear to aid in alleviating this condition… and I try to wear mine…. but many times i find in the morning that I’ve removed it.  (Arg!)

However… I have this theory…
Since I am such a skinny guy who already has his tonsils and adenoids out, doctors scratch their heads as to why I have this condition in the first place.  What I am thinking is this:  I am out of shape.  My body is worn down from inactivity (must be all that programming).  I’ll bet, because of my situation, that if I can get in shape, my condition will disappear.  I’ll just bet.

So… I will use sleep (or rather the desire for good sleep) as a motivator.  I will just keep thinking… if I get in shape, I will feel better AND I will get good sleep.

How’s that sound?

Yeah, by the way… I just finished putting up the first draft of the blog portal page.  This is where you can see all the activity.

I’m just glad it’s finally up!  Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Well… here I am… at work on a Saturday.

I do have some good things to report.  First of all, I’ve started to get back into a semblance of working out.  Had my wife sit on my feet while I did some situps last night… and then some pushups.  Fun stuff!

Can’t wait to get into a good routine!

Well, catch you all later.

I think my main goal right now is to get rid of my tiredness (which is one of the biggest deterrants to working out in the first place.) What I am thinking is that if I start working out, it will make me want to go to bed earlier… and then i will get a better night sleep.  I am thinking that I am just not in shape right now.

Yeah… things are going great!  I’m doing some exercising…  a couple of pushups here and there just before bed.  ( Then and right when I wake up are my two favorite times to work out. )  Now, I just have to increase my drive and start doing more.
