It’s been seven days since I started my new medication.  At this time there hasn’t been any noticeable side effects.  I’ve had the pharmacist from the drug company call me twice to check on me.  Like I said in my last post, this is a fairly new drug so they’re just concerned about me I guess.

On April 21st, there is a city-wide competition with some of the business in town called The Birmingham Challenge.  I have signed up with my employer to ride in a 10k bike stroll.  The bike stroll is not a competition within itself but we get points as to how many cyclists we get to ride in the event.  It’s the same way with the walking event.  We do, however, have other events that are competitions, such as the tug a war, dodgeball, corn-hole, golf, home-run hitting, and a couple more events.  Last year our company came in 2nd overall.  I’ve signed up for the cycling event.  I haven’t been on my bike for nearly a year, until this evening. I know it’s not much but I rode a whole 2.4 miles.  I could’ve ridden further but both my headlight and taillight were not charged and I didn’t want to ride without them.  I really surprised myself.  I actually dreaded getting back on my bike and tackling the hill in front of my house.  I got a little winded but I made it with no problems.

I’m back on my low carb diet.  I blew it this weekend.  Those Little Debbie cakes ought to be illegal.  I’ve finally got my wife on board with me with her cooking and she’s not giving me bread or potatoes so the failure this weekend is all on me.  I just “grazed” all weekend.  I had lost seven but on Monday, I gained five.  I hate losing the same weight that I had already lost before.  Today I did great though.  We’ll see when I check the scales in the morning.

I check in again in a couple of days.  In the meantime, enjoy your week.18157141_10154580034993946_3844449760811629204_n

Clyde waiting for me to come home.

 

Good news!!  I’m down three pounds this week.  I’m trying to keep my carb intake to about 35 but I’m not doing so well. Maybe I’ll do better next week.

My meds still have not arrived.  I guess I’ll call my oncologist on Monday if I don’t get it this weekend.

Tomorrow I plan on doing some cleaning up in my backyard.  After which I plan on flying my drone.  My son is coming home tomorrow sometime so I want to make sure I’m here when he get’s here.  Next weekend is Easter weekend and all my kids should be home.  I’m really looking forward to that.  I can’t believe they’ve grown up on me.  Two in college and one living on his own.  They sure do grow up fast.

Hello.  I’ve debated whether or not to do this or not but here goes.

This is me with all my “glory”.  My current weight as of this morning is 300.4 and as of today I’m doing a 365 day weight loss challenge and I’m going to use the 365 Photo Challenge to help me keep track of my progress.  No, you won’t see a picture of me everyday but maybe once a month or so.  If I were to set a goal it would be about 5 lbs a month.  That’s 60 lbs in a year.  I think I can do it.

I will be taking pictures of my everyday life whether it be at work, home or at play.  I enjoy photography so there’s no telling what you might see.  I have a lot going on in my life so be prepared for some interesting stuff.

Wish Me Luck.

It’s a start

1.8 lbs down since January 1st.  I’m still eating less than 2000 carbs but my steps are still under 10,000. That treadmill is still downstairs giving me those ill feelings.  I still can’t bring myself to get on it.  I will soon but I’m going to have to have some major incentive, I’d rather be on my bike.
