Today was a tough day as I am still suffering from the pain in my right hip. I have been taking anti-inflammatory meds, multi-vitamin, Mg+, K+. I am getting alot of attention from the massage therapist Lynda without whom I may not be walking. The trainers have been spectacular keeping me working hard, sweating and striving for more.
I have been here 25 days and have seen some changes I still am not where I want to be. I was hoping that by now I would have developed a love for fitness. I would be a liar if I said I have. I have developed a love for a few activities and hope that I can build on them. I am excited about extending my stay an additional two weeks as it will allow me to continue to work hard and be held accountable.
I am leaving this weekend to give a lecture for the GPMA on Saint Simons Island. I am prepared with a workout routine as well as a meal plan. I am nervous but I know that I can do well.
I want my life back. I want to enjoy what I have worked hard for the ability to travel and find someone to share it all with. I never want my niece to say " Uncle Ira why is your stomach so fat". I know that it was not said with any ill will as she was 4 yo when she said it to me but I have never forgotten it and it has motivated me. I cant wait to play with them and not be tried or unable to just plain "wear them out"
I wish my father was here to see me today. I miss him so much. He taught me so much and I miss his guidance and advice.
Over these past 25 days I have learned about myself and the people in my life. Thank you all for sharing this time with me. I have alot more to go.

Hey Ira! Hope all is going well! Sounds like you're really working hard & we are so proud of you! And remember ... no pain no gain! I know that is so cliche but so true! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome Ira... You inspire us all to get up in the morning and work out whatever issues we might have. Keep killing it on the tennis courts and sparring with Ryan.
