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 …

Out of my comfort zone. Thank You.

I live where I grew up. I've spent most of my life in the same town. Not because I had to. I have traveled the world. I've lived in other towns and in other states. I love where I come from and I was lucky enough to be able to buy my family home after my parents left.

With this said, my children have grown up and gone to the same schools I went to. I was not what you would call a good student. I did not enjoy school. I did not enjoy my classes. I understood school as a necessary part of life. In High School I knew that I wanted to be more than I was. I didn't want to just be the kid who hid behind a sense of humor as he struggled through his classes. Late in my sophomore year I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone. I started to purposefully do things that I felt would help me grow as a person but things that I was not really comfortable doing. These things included Karate, getting a part time job and public speaking.

Over the years these things have all…
