Jeez. Bet that foot hurt big time. I was just getting ready to write something “catchy” about using the retirement healthcare. Soon, you can look forward to calls from the Medicare mass salesmen from India currently pitching free food/dental/other crap.
I can’t wait.
I have a really big bruise on the top of my foot.

My goal is to train two hours a day. I think that, with increased cardio, will cause the pounds to go down.

I missed the boat, but congratulations on your retirement. That is an quite an accomplishment.
Thanks. I’m enjoying it thus far and staying busy.

I’ve actually been really busy. I still work as an adjunct and run a labor organization.

That was a lot of work. I really didn’t want to do the walk when I got home, but I’m glad I did.

I talk a lot with a really strong gym guy who’s very knowledgable about lifting/eating. He said today he’s going to start using rowing machines for cardio since he walks so much on the job. We seem to think alike and If I was 30 years younger I’d work out with him.

I try working the row machine in from time to time.

Just some light cardio today. I should have ate something this morning before I went to the gym. I got pretty lightheaded and needed to hit the vending machine for a protein bar.

That turned out to be pretty epic, and a lot more than I had planned on. I returned home for the prowler and carries.
On a side note, I never learned to swim too well as a kid. I decided I am going to take adult lessons.

If you’re going to start swimming, go for the butterfly stroke. Bodybuilding should make that one easy. Sorta like horizontal handstand pushups in the pool.

I’ve been busting my butt, but my weight has remained the same. My diet has been good, so I don’t know what the deal is. I’m hopeful I am just at another plateau, and my weight will start heading down soon. I really don’t want to cut calories too much, because my strength seems to be coming back.
