Cannon's Journal

Oh Cannon I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. That must be a real worry. I will be sending you both some positives and keeping you in my thoughts.

It sounds like this is a stressful time for you all round just now. I expect you find the exercise you're doing helpful in dealing the general tension, but what a credit to you that you're finding the will to keep getting out there early - and doing make up sessions!!

You have been making progress along your weight loss path for a long time now. Stay strong. :)
 
Well can I add that they're having trouble with my mortgage because its a condo conversion and my upper back is sore? I do have a dark cloud hanging over me right now so I deeply appreciate the support. Is anybody else having problems with this site? I can't connect during the day at work at all.

Why do these things cluster?!! It really is hard when you try to look around for the "at least..." thought, and you get more issues. *Hugs*

Is the upper back related to something else? Stress, or hunching over for writing/marking/study ? Would stretching help? My husband always wants me to rub him if he's got an backache. I'm more inclined to find a door handle and grind myself onto it, so that I can control what's happening!! When I'm sure it's muscular/spasms, I find the bit that hurts worst and dig in to try and make the muscle release. (I have given myself bruises!) But if it's really bad I hop off to a physiotherapist pretty quick.

How is your mum going?

I hope you're still getting a buzz out of your workouts!! :)


(edit: oh yeah - the site was totally wiped out for me too)

Hey, thanks for all the concern. I can tell you that the winds of change started blowing those dark clouds away on Friday. My mom isn't great, but she's not doing too bad. We miss Charlie, but dying of old age after a full life--you can't ask for much more than that from a dog. We had a field trip Friday and while I hate field trips, I learned that 25 of the 33 students in my class are pretty great and they will be my focuse for the remainder of the year. I feel horrible I haven't been to other diaries, but I was having so much trouble with the site last week and now I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm down to 377, but my food choices have kind of sucked lately. I'm losing the weight because of the gym. I need to eat like I was doing at the beginning of my fitness regimen and work out like I'm doing now. If I do that I'll see some real results. Strike that. I am seeing real results. My muscles feel huge and I feel like I'm so vain because I can't help but flex in the mirror a lot because I love seeing the growth. I have a long way to go, but I'm feeling much more fit. My chiropractor believes that I am halfway to my goal from looking at me even if my weight isn't at the halfway mark. I just know if I can combine diet and exercise I'll be kicking butt on this thing. Thanks for the support, the hugs, and the well wishes. I will do my best to return them.
 
Hey!!!

I'm so sorry you were having a rough time there for a while, but I'm glad things are looking up!

I just wanted to thank you for the very kind comments you left in my diary while I was away!!

Tyly

PS - I hate field trips, too!!

And flex away! Those guns love to be shown off!
 
Tyly -- Thanks :) Things are definitely getting a bit better.

Dari -- I really don't have any recent pictures since Summer when I was not lifting as much and when the scale wasn't moving much I didn't really see much point. I think there is a definite noticable change now so hopefully we'll get some pictures taken over Christmas or Thanksgiving and the change will be very apparent. I will post then.

It's a pity that the others so easily dominate. Considering how much difference 1 can make, 8/33 is quite a load. I'm glad you're ready to enjoy the other kids. Focusing your attention there sounds like a great idea.

What a great compliment from your chiropractor. Seeing the difference in your body and hearing words like this is really exciting. I don't blame you for flexing!! :D I'll be looking forward to those pics!! :)

That's excellent, I'm so glad for you!!!
 
The other kids are back today. It certainly does change the dynamic of the room. Oh well, hopefully I'm off Thursday to go to some ridiculous training.
