another good night at PF

I've really been enjoying my Planet Fitness membership. Recently I upgraded my membership so I can have unlimited guests so I can now bring my son Adam with me. Tonight though it's just me. Elliptical for 30 minutes followed by Chest and Triceps. Had a great workout. It really felt good after a stressful day. Well I burned that stress off. My back feels good and my eye, which has been worrying me feels pretty good now too.
I'm enjoying some relaxation right now watching the Red Sox and catching up on some Blogs and social media learning.
Have a great night.

Yet another body reboot!

2016 started out very poorly for me. I returned from a trip to Chicago at the end of January and I felt horrible. I had horrible headaches every morning and every time I bent over to tie my shoes my chest ached. My shoulders hurt, my back hurt. I was a mess. The headaches persisted. I tried neti pot, Ice, heat, meditation. Finally I went to the doctor. I had a sinus infection and my chest pain was diagnosed as Costochondritis.

Costochondritis occurs when the cartilage in these joints becomes inflamed. Rheumatoid arthritis is one cause of that inflammation, but you also can get it from an injury or physical strain. The RA inflammation may cause a sharp, stabbing chestpain that can be mistaken for a heart attack

After multiple rounds of antibiotics without relief and having pretty much destroying my intestinal microbiome I sought relief at Middleton Chiropractic in Dover, NH.

On March 31st feeling pretty good about my posture and general physique I began a process of rebuilding.

166/98

So I was doing my forth set of inclined dumbbell presses. The weight wasn't too much, nice concentration and contraction. I felt good. I was adjusting my shoulder blades on the bench when I got a sudden wave of pain and heat washing over me from the base of my skull to the front of my head. I calmly put my weights down and took some long deep breaths. I wasn't in a lot of pain but the suddeness of the headache that set is was amazing. I could feel my heart beating in my temples. Needless to say I brought my workout to an early end. I went up stairs and layed down with an icepack on the back of my head. After a few hours the pain was down to a mild headache. My wife asked if I thought my blood pressure was up. I hadn't really concidered it. My son needed a couple of folders for school so I went up to the local Rite-Aid with him to get them and while I was there I decided to sit at one of those BP machines. 144/95. hmm. The next day I awoke with a bad headache again. Now, I …

Fall has fell

Grilling is a year-round event.
I love being able to get outside regardless of the weather and grilling gives me the opportunity.
I loved to be outside enjoying the quiet of nature or the sound of kids playing in the neighborhood. The wind through the trees or the birds chirping.
Fall brings a new treat. The crispness in the air. The changing of colors and the smell of a wood stove warming the house.
Soon I'll need to clean up the yard. Put the chairs away before the snow fall flies. I still have some wood to split. It will go on the back of the stack.
I'll probably mow the lawn once more this season before I rotate the mower to the back of the garage and the snow blower to the front. Oh yes, I must get some shear pins.
Never a dull moment. For now I'll enjoy my steak.
