4114fly Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I started walking, eating better and doing body weight work last August. Pretty exciting to hit a half year of consistently working out at the gym. That is the longest since 1980. Pretty good feeling to stay with it that long. Looking back at my goals list for April 2014, I have not hit most of those but I'm fine with that. After six monthes of 515 am workouts 3 days a week I'm happy to be making the journey. I know I'll make my goals if I stay with it.ALSO, six monthes and 28 days since i've had any nicotine!The bad - I'm going to have to back off for the next couple of weeks. Biggest issue is tendonitis in both elbows. Shoulders have some soreness as do my knees. Good excuse to concentrate on diet! 1 Quote Link to comment

4114fly Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I haven't been here very much. 11 month update. Knees are swollen and hurt on most days - diagnosed with arthritis since my last post. Still looking for the right combination of anti-inflammatory and physical therapy. I haven't done leg presses or squats with serious weight in months. Still nicotine free!! Nearly 3 months late, but I was able to accomplish my April 1 goal of kiteboarding lessons the last weekend in June. Never would have happened without quitting smoking, getting in shape and some other leveling up that needed to happen. New priority is to drop the 15 or so pounds of excess body fat. Supposedly every pound I loose will reduce the impact on my knees by 5 to 6 pounds. I had to buy new shirts a size larger - chins RULE! Quote Link to comment
