Tuesday

Well, 2 weeks until my first flee market set up.  I have 1 more auction first.  Bought 3 boxes of dolls, mostly 'barbies', whole lot of misc. got some glasses, baseball cards and alot of knick knacks.

Going to make a display case for the tools and baseball cards.  I have left-over wood from the sides of the truck that I fabricated, should make a good display case.  Little bit of stain and some varnish, hopefully it will look pretty good.

Weight loss?  Seems to be a subject that I'm gonna leave behind at least for now.  June of 2010, when I went extreme, I loved it.  I could do my 3 hours of cardio daily and I was losing weight, and I was losing it rapidly, at the time I wasn't really sure till I started slowing down and doing re-search as to what was going on.  I lost 60 pounds in 3 months as I recall, then it just stopped, it was then I realized it was water weight......

Almost 2 years later, and 2 surgerys, I'm hovering at 300.  If I can get back to 260's or 270's, I'd be more than happy.  I went to the gym yesterday and had a 2nd wind, went past the 1st plate in all my exercises, yea it was a crunch and grind session but I geuss thats just something I'm gonna need to put up with......

It seems the more I concentrate on my weight loss the worse it gets, duh!   Which is why I'm taking a break from it......I'm still gonna author, but as the comps I'm in dwindle down, I'm gettin out of them......The thoughts of these comps and the sight is just getting old.  I do how-ever realize that people join my comps to have a competitive atmosphere which is pretty cool.

Ever since my brother passed last year, there is questionable friction in the family tree.  He was to be the executor of my parents estate.  Myself and my older brother do not see eye to eye on hardly anything. He is like my dad at a younger age, if its not done they way he thinks it should be done, its the wrong way-pure and simple. I how-ever am like my mother in alot of sorts, I've come to the conclusion that my way is not always the best way, and thats alright.  They have 40 years of stored odds and ends in their house, alot of which I have learned is gonna go in my flee market.  My mothers way of cleaning house.  My dad is 74? I do believe and my mother is right behind at 68?  anywho, if something happened to them, me and my brother would be 'liquidating' everything, she is basically avoiding a head-ache that there is no painkiller for.  So I'm spending most of the summer helping her clean everything out.

Breakfast time, more later..........

Monday, monday......

Tore down the power-chair yesterday, gonna take in the batteries today and see about replacements.  Excited that I'll get some mobility back, I'm alive and have the ability to walk-somewhat, 2 1/2 years ago, nobody would have thought this would ever happen.  On to bigger and better.  Going shopping today, need to heavily adjust my foods, going back to alot of salads.  No matter the weight I lose, my ankles won't change but my hbp will, and that will cut down on my meds.....

Going to storage to sort, clean and price what I got on Saturday.  I have 1 more auction, then I'm settin up, excited about that.....this will get me outa the house this summer and help me to better afford my medicare.

I'll be back later on.....

Auction, auction, auction!!!

Yes, this mornin I went to another cool auction, the boards that I put on my truck paid off.  Although the sliced turkey that was "LACED" with sodium seemed to be a very bad move.........I'm wondering why its so damn hard to walk.............

Friday mornin

Suckin on the coffee, getting back in to the am cardio.  I'm not to bad in the mornin with walking but when I sit down for any length of time and get back up, the legs are stiff and problematic.  I loved the hell outa cardio 2 years ago when it was bring my legs back but I suppose I got sick of it when my weight loss slowed up.

3 months down the road now, I've gotten lazy and 50 pounds have crept back on my body from rotator cuff surgerys, procrastination won't take it off either......Gotten to the point of where I'm gonna bring my cane back out.  I know its not gonna come off overnight either.  Got the 'big' auction tomorrow, hoping to drop at least $100, that should easily get me a truck bed full and then some.  I dumped $60 at the whole-sale auction yesterday, could have dropped more but trying yo stay away from the food.......its priced good but often outdated.  Its gotten to the point that through habit, there is alot that I don't eat anymore, sometimes food scares me yet again.

Went to the gym 2 days ago and went past 1 set, I'm gonna hear crunch and grind no matter what I do.......I think in extreme cases that what Vicoden is for?

Looked at the pages for the flee market that I'm gonna set up at, need to get set up on the crafts that I'm gonna make as well as the set-up.  I'm wanting to build a tier set up, basically utilizing as much room on the table as possible.

Time for cardio, feel the java kicking in.......
