This post is for everyone, all  U BuddySlimmers out there! If U scan my archives, U know I had a terrible time losing that last little bit of weight. BUT guess what I did it, and I’m a little bit below that, in fact! I would like to do resistance exercise and tone up a bit… right now I sort of have a thin biker type frame and with my shaggy beard I am quite the site!

 I wish I did not have the health and pain issues I am having right now but I don’t want to dwell on that for this entry! Basically, U can view my archives to get an idea, or U can Google Up Cushings Syndrome and pretty much every single thing on there affects me, in addition to the fact that my back and ribs and all that is fractured in a mild way and I am on my couch 98 percent of every day for the foreseeable future.

BUT I do get up at 5am every day. I roll off my couch and do a few gentle cobra streches lyingface down on the cushion. Then I do afew “bird dogs”… you know, one leg straight back at a time??? It issupposed to stretch and strengthen your lower back and hamstrings. Then I crawl over to my walker and pull myself into astanding position while my quads and calves protest and wobble. I get my bearings and I begin to walk in slow circles for half an hour and if I am feeling froggymay attempt a few lrg adductions, maybe some easy strtches, some very very slight reverse lunges and squats nothing 2 write home about!!

et cetera.

 during the day I eat 1700 cal average, plenty of lean proteins, good carbs, fruits ad veggies.

And do U know who motivates me? YOU DO!!! I read about your work stresses and life stresses and spousal worries and kid problems and yet YOU MAKE THE EFFORT to eat right and exercise. You don’t think I get bored lying here on this couch al day, evewith the Net and Cable TV? What else is there to comfort me and fill that void but food, rght??? and yet I resist. I tell myself I know lunch wll be soon, I am not really hungry and I have a diet soda and some water and I surf your blogs.

Thank U BuddySlimmers. Because you are willing to take the time to Blog, it gives me one more thing I can do for fun while I lay here bored and in pain. Thank U again!! and when U write of how you triumphed… how you were pressed for time but still got in  Tae Bo workout or a quick walk or a set or two of bicep curls… howU resisted cake or McDonalds even though you were stressed out and telling yourself “Oh I deserve this”. Every NO EXCUSES victory that U blog about an I get to read motivates and inspires me and then I have the strength to make it thru another Physical therapy session, or walk, or make coffee, or whatever.

We can do this together. YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT / RUN that MARATHON / EAT BETTER

and I can maintain my weight, a positive outlook and heal from this whole crazy illness.

NO EXCUSES!
