*BiGBonES** October 14, 2005 Share *BiGBonES** Member October 14, 2005 Keep it up johny boy, its just one of those days If your going to exericse, I'd recommend a bigger breakfast. A bowl of cereal (healthy stuff e.g. whole grain wheat cereal) is much more effective than a snackbar. And, if you have a bigger breakfast, you can cut out your mid morning snack Well played to both of you so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayfarer October 14, 2005 Author Share wayfarer Member October 14, 2005 You sound like your in better spirits today anyway. How many laps did you do? Pretty tiring eh? I had no idea it was such heavy cardio when I started either. It takes me approx. 35 minutes to do my laps, and I'm pretty much done when it's over as well. Soon I will not be tired after my sets. Thats when I know it's time to step up even further. Have a shot of whisky on me buddy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stutters October 20, 2005 Share stutters GC Alumni October 20, 2005 way to go wayfarer, sounds like you're killing it. me on the otherhand, not so hot. like i said before, 1.5 years ago i thrashed my back snowboarding. i overshot a jump by about 20 yards, falling straight out of the sky from about 50ish feet. landed on my feet (always ), but the force of the impact fractured my L4 vertebrae and shredded most of the muscles below it. i spent 8 weeks in an upper body brace, took it easy, and healed well. my doc said being in shape saved me a lot more - if i had buckled over forward i coulda snapped (paralyzed) instead of compressed (sore). anyways, that's kept me pretty religious at the gym. the back hasn't bothered me since. until now. about 4 weeks ago, i started getting pain a few times a week. i wrote it off as being lazy. past jobs barely let me sit, and all my free time was snow or skateboarding. now i'm taking 5 classes and working fulltime. i sit all day. i was going to the gym before we started this, but figured this would be a good way to stay motivated (and accountable) and do my best to keep you motivated (and accountable). in the past two weeks, the pain has gone from on and off to just on. it's not from over exertion, but i definetly aggravated something. the past two days, it hurts to stand, sit, or sneeze. i think i convinced work to get me health benefits today. i should be eligible, but due to other things, i haven't aggressively demanded it. until i can have an evaluation, i need to take it easy. i'm convinced the problem is my desk leash, and now i'm couch bound for the next few days. i'm gonna keep up on what i'm eating, and hopefully i can sneak into the pool soon. especially now that way is posting times i'll be back in no time.

I've been posting time spent in the sauna. I will post swim times from here on in if it will help. Sorry to hear about your back buddy! Hang in there! Stuff like this can be a little depressing, but you seem to have a good handle of what's going on. I'm going to keep on posting & waiting for your return. When your ready jump (slip) into the pool & let me know how it goes. GOOD LUCK SJ!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
