Colonoscopy

Had one today, great news! All the areas that had been inflamed and messed up due to heavy Ibuprofen use over the years before I started working out, are cleared up! Only one very small polyp. I don't have to go back for FIVE years!!!!

ANs since I have not eaten since Wednesday, I am splurging on some mac and cheese (I know I know, not Paleo) and mashed potatoes. Yum!

Tomorrow I am back on the diet and exercise! Tonight I am a couch potato!

6th Day of Paleo

Well, I do allow 12 tater tots at breakfast,some cheese on my salad, I did have bread at my splurge meal, but other than that, no grains. Even with my spurge meal last night, my calorie count yesterday was only 2110!

300 wall-ball squats this morning and my thighs are feeling it. I want to be able to 1,000 a couple times a week. I think that and climbing stairs at work will my biking much stronger (I work in a 10 story building).

I don't usually watch much TV. NASCAR on Sundays (yes, I have a touch of redneck in me, but just a little!) and Biggest Loser, that's about it. But with the Olympics on the next two weeks, I am going to hit the trainer quite a bit.

Work as me stressed as does the taxes I owe. I know that I cannot survive the stress of these well without my workouts and endorphins. That means going to be on time. If I don't get this triathlon and health ball rolling again, I am in big danger of sliding back down the hill to 471 pounds (or more), and dying early. I will be 53 in April. This is it. No excuses! Not even the IRS will stop me!

Changes



I'm back to being in bed by 8:30 pm so I can get up to workout. Getting away from that to sleep in was not good, warm and toasty yes, but not good for me. I am full tilt into the Paleo diet except I allow myself 12 tater tots for breakfast. Once I get back into long training sessions on the weekend, I will do Paleo for Athletes, which will incorporate some brown rice (I think, still need to read that part). Going to stay off the wheat for a few months to see how that affects me.

Back on the trainer this week and next week back into the pool!

Hope you have a great weekend!
