I forgot to mention that this week we got some testosterone in camp. Texas Clayton and the Terminator from St Thomas Trevor. It is nice to have some men here. I know that many of you would not believe that this is Ira speaking but it is true.
Yesterday was a good day as I am learning how to work thru pain and injuries. I realize that there is a difference between good pain from a workout and bad pain where my body is saying "hey something is wrong". Regardless I have learned how to accommodate so that I still get in a workout. I have strained my piriformis muscle ( I did not even know that I had one....LOL).
My flexibility comes and goes and I do not understand why. Today we had a beach workout boot camp and then we had an 11 mile bike and yoga. Now we have time off.
Aussie Annie has her husband Tim here and he has participated in the days activities so he now knows how hard his wife is working and it is a sad day as "Half-Pint" Meghan will be leaving on Monday. She was my comic relief and my hip hop deejay. She will be hard to replace.
I will tell you that when you spend 4-6 hours sweating hard and supporting each other you tend to grow close. It is difficult not too.
Not only am I learning some new lifestyle changes I am also becoming domesticated as I just finished my laundry and dishes....
Lastly I have been informed that my spell check must not well as my cousin Carol has told me of my spelling faux pas. Hopefully I will do better.
Oh yeah BIG NEWS. I have decided to stay an additional 2 weeks so that I will be here for 6 weeks and will have a great jump start on this new life's journey.
Many of you have sent me personal messages about your own toils with weight. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a new start and needs help. The first thing is admitting you cannot do it on your own. I did.
Keep the notes coming as it motivates me. Thank you all

ReplyDeleteHi, Ira, I look forward to reading your blog everyday and am always disappointed when you decide to take the day off. I do not blame you it sounds like you need a day off just to rest. I appreciate you sharing your life changing experiences. Your blog is like reading a novel. It may not be that interesting to those who do not know you, but for the rest of us it is a total joy to observe your drive and determination. Keep it up my Friend. Tina
