Nothing Lost & Nothing Gained
Hey Everyone.
Today I had myself weighed, although I am not currently working out like I once did. I wanted to make sure I have not been losing what I worked so hard to achieve. To date I am still holding strong at 199lbs, leaving me at a stand still for my 48lbs weight loss. 2 more lbs and that will put me 1/2 of my weight loss goal (goal is 100lbs in 365 days, started March 5, 2007). I have cut my daily intake of calories by 400 calories, while I am recovering from this injury.
I cannot wait until my next doctor appt. which is on June 27, 2007 @ 8:30pm. I hope that day I get clearance to restart my exercise program at least 1/2 of what it use to be. I really miss working out. I have done some abs with the ball and done some workouts with my free weights, I have even found a way to do pushups using the balls and resting my chins on the ball (so I do not aggravate my ankle).
In the meantime, I have done nonstop research on diet, exercise, the most effective way to burn and change, I have consulted with a body transformation specialist (which I plan to hire July 1) he can be found on this website, he is in my friends list (BodybyDaniel), and my MIA trainer has been contacting me again (his MIA was due to a vacation, that bit of knowledge could have been useful to me but he said it wasn’t necessary since I have this injury, hmm?!?). Once my next plan has been formatted to my needs with diet, exercise, and whatever else I will be doing until I reach my goal will be blogged about. I know it will be a hardcore event for me, but I am ready for it.
Now lets all pray that I get full clearance from the orthopedic on my next visit. If this ankle has not healed by then, we will discuss surgery, which I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT. I read up on the procedure and recovery yesterday and it’s not pretty. I will be down for months. I will have surgery 4-6 weeks recovery followed by weeks of physical therapy. GUYS, I can’t have that. I will go nuts not working out. They will see me looking in the gym window starring and wishing I was in there, and lets be honest that would be horrible to see, right. LOL! So, please pray for me. Thanks everyone!!
And thanks for reading….

That’s cool that you’ve set goals for weight loss. Having an appointment set where you get weighed in, does help motivate. Do you read any fitness magazines? That’s awesome how much weight you’ve already lost. Your transformation pictures will be so cool. Keep it up!

I’m really pulling for you!! It is so awesome to see how motivated you are especially at such a young age. You are a real fireball and an inspiration to old dudes like me. I just know everything will be fine and in no time at all you will be posting progress pics that will blow everyone away.

I’m praying for your ankle! What will be will be, but hopefully this won’t make you change your goals if you are out of action. I know that everything will be ok with it at your next appointment. This is just a test of your determination and you are handling it beautifully. Your dedication is to be admired! Stay strong and good Luck!

Nice to see you are determined. Hopefully the ankle doesn’t need sugery and you can get back to working out.

So glad you are taking this time to gain knowledge about weight loss and maintaining.I will pray for you also… You are going to recover just fine. If something in your foot is broken it will heal, if you have soft tissue damage as far as a tear it may take longer and you have to be careful. I want to know if your MIA trainer is looking out for your best interest or his. I go on vacation and all of my clients know 1 month in advance.Keep doing as much as you can with the weights and eating, glad to hear you cut your calories..
