Day 1 - Steve

Hello all. I'm in too. Last time we relied on each other I lost 82 lbs or so. I need to eat healthier as I literally have to carry my own weight with me. Exercise is something I get every time I move from my bed or chair to somewhere else. I injured my shoulder at TIRR and had to get away from working out as my good arm soon had elbow problems. Now with both arms healed it's time to get serious. I'm thinking it's all about a routine, which should become habit soon enough. A sensible breakfast with all meals stressing protein. Lunch will be fruit and cheese, and most days a home cooked dinner. I have no problem cooking healthy, but many times I am physically exhausted, in pain, and in bed by the time dinner rolls around. I will limit myself to two other snacks per day. Coffee and tea w/fresh squeezed fruit for drinks, which I have been doing. I will do my stretches and leg extensions daily, every day, first thing. I will try and work out on the bowflex Mon/ Wed/ Fri in the morning after stretches. Tues/Thurs I don't use the bowflex, instead the electric bike machine, 10 minutes only(I tend to leave it on too long and then have abdominal cramps later in the day). Days I must travel from home I won't do any exercise, to try and save myself for the trip. I want to log results here afterwards, even if it's just SOS(same ol' Ship). Sunrise golfcart rides, fishing, etc. have to outweigh exercises, as I can't physically do both, but should be logged in as such. There are many days when the pain is just too much and bed is all I can do, logged in as well. I look at it like this: If I have the strength to get up and go I should got up and went, whatever that means. Looking forward to another structured attempt to do my best. Let's roll (in a non rolly-poly or wheelchair pun type of way)!
