Losing weight is a constant battle and it is tied in with my pain journey.

Monday of this week I recieved shots in my neck and shoulder. Its left me in a bit of pain and my neck and shoulder are more tender than normal. I rescheduled PT and went in last night. We worked on my neck because thats the main point at the moment. The weight loss and doing other excercises are on me at home for the moment because PT really needs to be about manipulating my neck.

I have an excercise ball, which I do use, but not enough. On our Cable systeeeeemhave 10 min workouts which I am suppose to be able access.

At the moment the basemt is a mess, but sitting in the garage is a stepper, a bicycle, a ab machine thing, and something else. I am going to work on getting the basement cleaned up and put together so we can set up all the qquiptment, put rubber pads on the floor and use it as a work out room/playroom. I have a table for the kids train set that needs to be set back up so Jack can use it before he grows to far for it.

So as the pain subsides for my neck, I want to get the basement cleaned out. I found the total gym and want one of those. I also want an eliptical machine. Being able to watch tv while I work out, or doing it at home gives me no excuse. I just need to get it done. So thats the goal for the rest of the month. Work on making the baesment half work out and 1/4 toy room. LOL Of course, with entertainment. I could work out while I was watching tv shows. I totally could do that.

I also bought a new scale last night.

Ct weight :235

Goal weight: 180lb by end of year.

Pounds to loose :55

Months :5.5

Calories I can intake: 1200 daily

Total of 11 lbs a month to stay on goal.

Today I need to burn 280 calories by doing Cardio Workout.

Friday I woke up with a migraine from hell. Doug was home all day, thank heavens. I threw up right away, and then got showered and went to the Chiro. I laid in the dark with an icepack on my eyes. The MT Sharon could feel how fucked up my neck was and how bad the migraine was. She left all the lights off and tried to give me some relief. Tried. Then Dr R adjusted and helped. My Shoulder was locked up and hard as a rock, that was taken care of as much as possible. I mean how much can he do? I had a bad migraine. I wanted to sleep. Thats what I wanted.

I came home, iced my head and went to bed. Doug was home all day. I would make attempts to drink something and take a pain pill and throw it up. All day and night this went on. Then finally I puked whatever it was left inside me, and pain started to ease up. I ate some chicken broth and took my night time pills and rotated ice packs all evening. I fell asleep and crashed. It was horrible. All day throwing up and taking showers.
