I will out myself first and admit that I am JUST NOW reading through your log, and I JUST read your introduction.
Ahem
I must first say, I’m glad you’re still alive! Your posts are almost always downright funny, and you’re just an all around nice person to converse with and goof off with on here!
I had no idea you made it through a heart attack, and I am now going to get all mushy because I’m just a giant softy inside. 
Thanks, truly. So am I. 
Don’t get too mushy! I won’t be giving away the ending by saying It ain’t over yet!
Edit:
Where are my manners? I completely forgot to say Welocome!
And this was never more true than today. Yoiks! 10 hrs. flew by like 10 minutes. Every thing we did went well though, and before I knew it, it was dark again.
You *#&$@% ! 
Hey man, I know its not bread, but…
Practicing with a new broiler. They’re just eye of round, so no great harm if I screw them up.
Actually, really wish I had one of those buns right now for the juice.
Now that’s a juicy steak!
Wow looks gorgeous!
Thanks. It worked out pretty good. 
Also just got back from my first cardiac therapy session. That went pretty good. I started off light walking, then slight grade, then 15 minutes on airdyne. Pretty much a piece of cake, and we’ll bump it up for the next couple of sessions until something blows up or someone dies. 
just kidding. It will be a steady ramp up to the target heart rate.
What was really nice was that a few of the therapists from last time are still there. The woman with me today was brand new in the fall of 2019, but now she has really grown into it and has good pro-swagger.
Glad things are coming along. Take good care of yourself. Dying is contraindicated.
I’m trying! I did kinda croak a couple of times a while back though.
Coming up on 2 years since a major heart attack and have had some complications. Most recently (mid april) was another angioplasty/stent to clear the same artery a little further down from the one that caused the heart attack two years ago. My 4th angioplasty to date.
This time it had gotten to 95%, which is better than the previous 100%, but still bad enough to have done some damage.
So I eat pretty well, exercise as much as possible and only live about 10 minutes from a cardiac cath lab. 
Yikes! You’ve been through a lot! Your family must have been terrified — and extremely grateful that you’ve made it through all of that thus far.
As are we, of course. Since you liven up the place and all, it seems worth keeping you around a while longer! 
Oh, they were. I still feel pretty badly about that.
The wife is a tad ambivalent. If she catches me going heavy on the weights again any time soon she might just take me out with her bare hands.
I’m learning to take things one step at a time, one day at a time, and to build up to something bigger and better slowly, methodically, and persistently.
I don’t know if you struggle with patience, but if so, cue your internal Yoda now . . .
I’ve read books on patience and staying in the moment because I wanted to get really good at it Right Now!
Good thing they were short.
LMAO! I could use some of those books myself!
Limited on loading but at least moved it quickly.
Did a few sets of triples, some pump stuff, and maybe considering a haircut or two.
Two? Why . . . erm . . . where? . . . um . . . oh, I don’t need to know!
Looking good — had I not known, I’d never have believed the person in the video had cardiac surgery fewer than two months ago!
Just on top! Cuz thats a lot of hair! Already trimmed up pretty good everywhere else from the surgical prep. They like a clean slate.
Thanks. I just keep whacking away at the weights & whatnot. I get the “you don’t look…” and “You’re too young…” a lot!
There was a guy in the therapy gym (big medical cardio gym with everybody wearing ekg’s) yesterday that was downright jacked! I’m talking no joke, 6’3" well over 250 lbs, and solid. Little soft around the middle, but nothing that would set off any alarms.
He did not look like the typical cardiac rehab patient.
Deadlifting in jeans… Are you in a rush for something?
