Right on Track

Its been a few weeks since I posted.
Nothing new has happened
EXCEPT 
I have lost 9 more pounds since my weigh in
on Feb 24 2012. I now weigh 317 lbs.

I was at the Dr last week and he was very proud
of my success. As were all my friends I have made that work there.
Got my A1C done for diabetes to check my blood sugar
levels for the last 3 months. It was 5.6. 
Pretty damn good if I don't say so myself. 

I also has a CT done on my back. It showed my back
needs surgery again to correct the pain and problems
I am having. Nothing will help besides surgery.
I've lived with the pain this long I may as well
try and get as healthy as I can so the surgery
will be easier on me. 
When he does do it he will have to cut my back open again,
vs going in thru the side like he had initially wanted to do.
Then he will take out all the old hardware (screws and a metal cage)
replacing those with new and of course I assume they will have to be
bigger so it fixes the spot that is shot.
Recovery will be the 3-6 months as usual. Last time
I had it done I healed quickly and that was even having
to be on Prednisone and that makes you heal slower.

There is no way in hell (besides no being able to stand the pain) 
I will put my getting healthy on the back burner
and stop exercising when I have just started this. I want to 
have lost at least 100 lbs first. And I don't want to miss
all summer of going and having fun
on my 4 wheeler either. So maybe next winter.

I have continued to workout everyday. I either do
Zumba
Hip Hop Hustle
CardioKick
Flab Fighters
or
our Team Workout (every Sunday).

My goal for the month of March was to lose
20 pounds. Here the month is just about
half over and I have it about half way finished.

IT IS GOOD TO BE
ME
