Week 8 Thursday
Had a little tightness in the extreme lower back when getting out of bed. Thought, “I’m really going to have to warm up today.” Got to the gym and pulled a 45 off the rack and nearly had tears streaming down my face. Tried to put the weight back on the rack and ended up setting it on a bench and leaving. Fuck. It’s right around my tail bone. I have some 550 mg naproxen that I’m going to be popping like tic-tacs.
Weight after yesterday’s carb up: 241.0 lbs.
Week 8 Friday
Weight 237.6
No workout today. Barely made it through the shower.
Week 9 Monday
Weight 234.6 Down 31.2 lbs in 8 weeks.
Back still jacked up, but starting to feel a little better. Not going to push my luck, just waiting it out.
Week 10 Monday
Upper body machine circuit
Lower back still tight and painful. Getting better, but I’m not going to push it too fast. Down 34.8 lbs. in 9 weeks. Not working out made the dieting a lot harder last week.
Are you doing any cardio? Walking on TM or stationary bike?
Just curious.

When I hit 225.8 lbs I’ll take some more. That will be exactly 40 lbs down.

I’m a fucking wreck. Went to marriage counseling yesterday thinking we were going to work things out. Instead I got blindsided with her saying it’s over and she wants a divorce. We’ve been married 13 years. Have never tried counseling.
I don’t beat her. I don’t verbally abuse her. I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. I’ve never cheated on her. I’m a damn good father. And I love her more than anything. My big sin is that I’m bipolar. I’m med compliant. Have never missed a pill in 5 years. I haven’t been manic in maybe 5 years, but I do get depressed from time to time. She can’t handle the way I am when I’m depressed. That’s it.
What double sucks is that we left Texas a year and a half ago to move to Indiana to be closer to her family. I’ve got no one here besides my son. I’ve run the numbers a million times in the 24 hours since this happened and I don’t think I can afford to live here. Which means possibly leaving my son to move back to Texas. Like I said, I’m a wreck.
Dont forget to call me again this evening, since the wife is at a business dinner.
Remember you still got people that love you.
