Sacredwlkr’s BodyBlog

So I broke down and got on the scale.  I’ve been avoiding it because I can get too focused on the weight, but I have released 9 pounds in the last two weeks so I’m just about right on track.  I say "released" because to say lost would imply that I want to find or retrieve the fat - NO WAY!

Felt a little gassed today - low energy for cardio, but made it through.  No arm pain, though, so that’s a good thing.  I think a nap would be nice…

First things first: I’m a few weeks into my transformation and can already see some changes.  Haven’t stepped on a scale for about a month or so, but my clothes are getting looser already (happy dance). 

I’ll be using this blog to keep track of my progress, both physically and mentally.  Working out is helping me cope with my unemployment status - it’s gone way past the point of being a vacation and now it’s just a big burden.

I have a lot to overcome and reverse - years of metabolic turmoil caused by health issues, including a heart attack at 35 (big life stressor), nerve impingement that threatens muscle function in my left arm, and back pain.  I rehabilitated my shoulder once but it seems to be getting aggravated by incline shoulder presses.  May have to eliminate that movement.

 Today is a rest day, then tomorrow is back and biceps.
