Biggest loser on CF.....

[CoachR64]

I just did 20 minutes of walking. And I have to say, I am sitting here trying not to tear up. My back is in so much pain. Ever since the shooting, I have been having issues with where the bullet tore through the tissue in my back. I was told I needed no more doctors appointments or physical therapy.

I think I need a second opinion. About half way through my walk, I had to force myself not to stop and quit. I just took 4 Alleve, so hopefully that helps with inflammation and pain.

I am going to have to come up with something that is low/no impact on my back and knees. I am going to keep exercising, but somethings gotta gotta give.

I am frustrated because I wanted to walk for 45 minutes. I think it's time to start looking at a bicycle again. The low impact would probably be the best for me.

I think it would be very smart of you to get a second opinion. I got one when I messed up my knee about 5 years ago and it is what saved me from having surgery.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

honestly I'd robably be in tears just from knowing how much the lower back plays into ust about everything.

As for low impact, what do you think about swimming? I mean, there's going to be alot of twisting in the torso area, but then again the bike incorporates the back too.

Yoga? Tai Chi? One of those bike where you're sitting down with your legs out in front of you? Boxing (heavy bag work)?

I really don't know but I'll post bad ideas if it prompts a good idea from someone else.

I think swimming is a good idea.

Hey - that pose was mild compared to the one I really wanted to post.

Where's my beer, yo?

That's what they teach in the twelve steps: "just for today!"

I'm glad you've joined us again! I missed you!

I see how you are...

 

[Tink]

He sent it to me.

:sips beer:

It tastes so...much like beer.

I always knew he liked you better...

I am on my way to look at bicycles! Hopefully, I will come home with a shiny new bike to ride and help get my fat butt back to my fighting weight.

Hey Coach how much do you weigh currently?

And what's the target?

 

[GQ Chris]

how are my carne asada and beer guzzling brethren doin today...

 

[CoachR64]

Current = 360 Goal = 270

I played ball at 285 in college. I'd like get down below that. Ultimately, I would love to get down to the 240 range, but realistically, 270 is the current goal.

Coach

PS: I got a new bicycle!

 

[Tink]

yay for the new bike!

What kind of bike? I love bikes.

What's the timeframe for the 270?

We should race to 270, see if I can bench it before you weigh it.

[CoachR64]

Well, I want to do it healthy. My goal is by the end of the next school year, which give mes about 1 year and 4 weeks to get it down. That is slightly less than 2 pounds a week, which is pretty healthy.

Spicy, I benched 270 in high school, you panzy!

Man, I don't even know if I could bench 270 right now. That would be a chore.

I think last time my kids challenged me, I threw up 300lbs one time. Then I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
