@#$@#$%#$@ backsliding… need to get back in to action and back on track….

When possible last several days I’ve been taking Katrina to the parks… but unfortunately with baseball, and softball season starting up heavy the parks in Boonville that we normally go to, Rolling Hills, and Harley Park are both full… so we went to Lions park the other day… I hate going there since the blasted high school and college kids use it….

If you have kids that age, please discourage them from going and playing on the small kid’s playground equipment since they break it with misuse… Tired of seeing broken equipment, cigarette burns in the swings, etc… Tired of seeing the teens having make out sessions in the slides, runing up the slides, and overall just abusing the equipment, making it hard for the small kids to actually play since the ‘big kids’ ruined everything!…

18 Minutes of Just Dance. Aimed for 40 Minutes of it, but only made it through 18.

Sore stomach, sore legs, and achy knees kept me from going much further.  Maybe next time I’ll get in 40 minutes.

Shouldn’t use this overtime at work junk as  an excuse to not exercise.  Later this week Katrina’s swim lessons start up again.

move lovely overtime… not sure how this is going to work with swim lessons, but time will tell.

Been having restless nights the last few nights, so have been working on the Family Tree Blog over at https://thomannfamily.wordpress.com/zz-all-blog-post-summary-links/ in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping… over time as I start working out more,, cutting down on sugar and coffee etc. hopefully the being up all night become a thing of the past over time…

I have made lots of tweaks on the blog over there lately though, so something is coming out of the lack of sleep.

Sadly, now I have coffee and sugary foods this morning to make up for the lack of sleep.

Kinda been slacking on the exercise routines last few days, and on diet too. Hard to overcome sugar addictions when Dollar Store, Walgreens, etc. all have half off prices on Easter Candy…

I’ll get back on track soon.  We have been going to the park the last few days to see if the Kite’s fallen out of the tree yet. Still up there as of last night.  At least Katrina’s getting a workout since the playground there is sort of like a jungle gym/obstacle course she loves to play on.

Checked last night, and Dragon/Wizard kite was still up in the tree.

Merlin must really like visiting the Mystic Isles.  Wish he’d come back to the Everrealm someday soon.

Holding off on working out much since Bicep still hurts a bit. Bought a new Tae Bo tape at dollar store last night. They had several Jillian Micheals Tapes too but they stayed on the shelf, at least for now (may reevaluate buying them in a few days)

If anyone finds a kite at Rolling Hills Park in Boonville, please let us know!

It looks like this:

 

Mowed this morning…

Then Katrina and I went to the park to fly a kite. We were doing the initial run with her Dragon and Wizard kite.  It was flying higher than any kite I’d flown when a tree grabbed it.

Tried to lasso the dragon with an electrical cord tied on to end of over a hundred feet of rope tied to a concrete block that I sometimes use for kettlebells when out and about… We threw that rope up there so many times I lost count… didn’t get it down.

My neck and shoulders hurt, and my right bicep is burning worse than ever.  A cowboy not am I…

She’s been sick which is why she was home with me, but I think she’s starting to get over it… (vomited a lot yesterday morning and a little last night… the diarrhea is still messing with her though… not much of a fever yet… NEXT TIME, STAY HOME FROM FAMILY EVENTS IF YOU HAVE THE FLU CANDACE!)

We did buy a new Shark Kite in the mean time, hoping the other would fall out of the tree, but to no avail.  Hope it comes down in a few days?

100 lb bench x 30

Just completed  a 40 Minute Just Dance Session.

Yesterday, and in to this morning I’ve been feeling some chest pain.  Several months ago I went to the hospital with similar issues, and was told it was only Gerd instead of a real heart attack.  It is a real intense pain that happens just to the left of my sternum.  In this case I am wondering if doing the 190 lb benches the other day didn’t do some sort of muscle strain or tear in my chest and if that’s bringing it on?  It’s kind of extremely scary since the location is the same type of place a real heart attack pain might potentially happen, right over the heart or a little to the right of it.

When this type of pain comes on, it is extremely intense and really localized. It does literally feel like a heart attack would I suspect.  It’s just a really tight area of pain right to the left of the sternum.  Some of the most intense pain I’ve ever felt in my entire life. It’s not fun.  My guess is that it’s gerd since I can hear a rumbly tummy and or have some belching or gas with it… hopefully it’s not something more serious.  This body of ours is definitely a curious thing sometimes.

My suspicion is that I need to take it easy on the arms today and maybe next day or three?  Time for some cardio?…

Actually no, I think today it’s time to simply rest.  It’s now 4 Am. I typically try to workout from now til 5 before I get a shower and get ready for work.  I’m going back to bed til 5.  I need to take care of this body of mine… (even though some say that laying down makes Gerd symptoms worse?)

 

Prilosec, Tums, and Pepto time…  Really want to get away from needing these things if I can help it somehow.
