It's time for my monthly health update! I've been eager to put several minds at ease after last month's avalanche of bad tidings.
First, I managed to get 8 lbs off. Not quite the 15 I'd hoped to shed during the month of June, but 8 lbs is 8 lbs. Count it all joy because I accomplished this despite the recent calf injury I sustained (I still don't know how that happened, so please don't ask).
The shoulder is still sore and weak and the back continues to go out without warning. It's hard for me to put in extended standing and walking, but bike time compensates. Did I mention that I returned to the gym? Yaaaay (if you sound that out, don't scream it. Say it softly and melodically).
Unlike last month, I'm in a better place, mentally and a more encouraged mood. Unfortunately I had to endure the loss of more friends, all of whom were my age (50-52). So it hasn't been all sunshine. In fact, I'd be lying if I said this age thing isn't wearing on me. This the beginning of the 3rd Quarter in my Game of Life (assuming I make it to 100) and it's both frustrating and frightening to see the life expectancy curve lowering with each loss. But I'm a fighter, so that's what I'll keep doing. I don't fear death, but I definitely don't intend to rush it with lackluster effort and poor life choices.
New health concern: As of late, I've been suffering from bursts of disorientation and extended blurred and double vision, for reasons I have yet to learn and hopefully the doctor can identify. In the meantime, driving and photography are off the menu.
July Agenda: Kill the food debauchery and reduce/eliminate sweets, pop, juice, "white" foods (white rice, white bread, flour, etc.) and all the wonderful fried stuff. I don't like it, but I like being unhealthy even less.
That's it. I don't want to talk too much about what is and what should be. Let's see how we do.
And to those still TALKING ABOUT me inspiring their life changes, get it poppin'!
Start today! The "weight" is over!!!
Keep procrastinating and you'll find yourself in Caboose Court, found guilty of being in possession of "Plumbers' Crack" with booty breath silently seeping out of your ass cleavage. You can't shoot your shot if you're not on the court.
You can do this. I believe in you. Better days ahead...
See you next month. Love y'all!
