If you've never had a weight problem you can't imagine what an ongoing life changing process losing weight can be. Remember me? I'm the guy who can walk past a bag of chips and gain two pounds.
The boot was the problem, at least that's what I'm telling myself. As has happened in the past in my life, when I have an injury I gain weight. This time I had a partial tear in my achilles tendon which required I wear an air cast on my left foot for 8 weeks.
I am not a HUGE fan of exercise on any level but when my doctor told me no gym during the 8 weeks I was ecstatic and afraid at the same time. The result, I managed to put on at least 17 pounds in 8 weeks. It didn't help that the 8 weeks fell over the Thanksgiving and year end holidays either but damn it, here I go again.
I am sitting here eating my porridge as I am back on the fast at least 90% of the time...meaning most of my daily meals will be protein based prepared food...(food like I mean) I am still going to fat class which I did even in the boot but now I have to get in my tuxedo in two weeks and I don't want to put some one's eye out when I sit down and my cummerbund snaps and studs fly. So, here I go again.
The better news is I will start physical therapy next week and plan on going back to the gym maybe even this weekend. It's not fun having a weight problem but lucky me!
I can't promise to post every day but if you want to please read to understand why I am such a cranky ass!
More to come...
