MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST SAID...

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I WENT IN THIS MORNING TO GO SEE A PHYSICAL THERAPIST AND HERE IS THE LOWDOWN:

"DISC DEGENERATION", YUP SOUNDS LIKE AN "EMO" SONG, RIGHT???  SO HE TELLS THAT EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THIS AFTER THEY HIT THEIR 30'S AND IT GETS EVEN WORST FOR SOME AND NOT SO WORST FOR OTHERS.  IN OTHER WORDS, "OLD AGE" IF YOU ASK ME!!!  MAN...  THIS IS SO LAME TO ACCEPT IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW, BUT HEY, I ASKED FOR THE TRUTH AND I GOT THE TRUTH.  I'M GIVEN A WHOLE NEW "SIT POSTURE" WHENEVER I SIT DOWN, BASIC STRETCHES THAT I COULD'VE SWORN THAT I'VE DONE NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LOG DOWN ALL PAIN FACTORS FOR THE NEXT 2-3 DAYS.  SO THIS IS FAR FROM OVER.  THE GOOD NEWS IS AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOT BONE RELATED WHICH MEANS NO SURGERY.  SO UNTIL NEXT TIME, I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

A HUGE SHOUT OUTS TO ALL WHO HAS MADE OUR HALLOWEEN A CRAZY & MEMORABLE ONE.  AS YOU CAN SEE KAHEALANI DID NOT GIVE US A CHANCE TO REST.  SHE WAS THE STAR OF THE "DELTA DISCOVERY NEWSPAPER", THE ONLY 6 YEARS OLD WITH AN "M-RATED" COSTUME.  OTHER KIDS WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING TWICE BEFORE APPROACHING HER, LOL!!!

AND NOT TO MENTION MY WIFE'S AWESOME PUMPKIN CARVING OF OUR FAVORITE, "UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION, BJ PENN".  IT WAS HIGHLY PRAISED BY MANY INCLUDING "BJ PENN'S WEBSITE" AS "FEATURED PHOTO".  WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR???

AS FOR MY WORKOUTS, I HAD TO PUT IT ON HOLD LAST WEEK AND NOW I AM BACK IN THE PROGRAM.  AS FOR MY BACK, IT IS STILL ACHING BUT I DO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW AND I HOPE TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS NOT TOO SERIOUS.

UNTIL THEN, ALOHA AHUI HOU!!!

WINTER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED...

ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND I'M STILL PUSHING MYSELF DESPITE ALL THE PAIN MY BACK HAS ENDURED.  I MUST SAY THAT I SHOULD PROUD OF MYSELF FOR STILL FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT AS FAR EXERCISING GOES.  I AM STILL ONLY "CARDIO" AND PUTTING OFF MY "STRENGTH CIRCUIT TRAINING" TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE INJURIES.  I KNOW I'VE SAID IN THE PAST THAT I WAS GONNA GO SEE A DOCTOR REGARDING MY LOWER BACK PAINS, BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME TO TOUGH IT OUT AND STRETCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, WINTER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN BETHEL, ALASKA.  SNOW IS OFFICIALLY HERE.  WILL POST PICTURES UP SOON.

UNTIL THEN...

STILL FIGHTING THE PAIN!!!

MAN...  IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 2 WEEKS AND STILL THE PAIN ON MY LOWER BACK PERSISTS ON AND OFF.  I CONTINUED TO "CARDIO ONLY" THROUGHOUT THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 12 - 16, 2009.  I REALLY WANT GET BACK TO MY "CIRCUIT TRAINING" ASAP.  IF MY LOWER BACK PAINS KEEPS BOTHERING ME, I WILL GET IT LOOKED AT.  I CANNOT POSSIBLY THINK HOW THIS COULD HAPPENED TO ME.

OTHER THAN THAT, THE WEATHER IS GETTIN' COLD BY THE DAY, YET IT STILL BRIGHT AND CLEAR BLUE SKIES THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE WEEK.  NO SNOW YET BUT I CAN FEEL IT COMING VERY SOON.

AWWWRITE!!!

WAIPA

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!!!

WELL I MUST SAY THAT I AM FINALLY COMING AROUND WITH LESSER PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK.  I AM STILL DOING 15 MINUTES OF CARDIO ON THE ELLIPTICAL MACHINE AND I ALSO WEIGHED MYSELF TODAY AT 328.6LBS!!!

SLOWLY BUT SURELY GETTING THERE.  I FEEL THAT I AM READY TO GO BACK FULL FORCE ON MY WORKOUTS STARTING NEXT WEEK.

AWWWRITE!!!

WAIPA

FEELING MUCH BETTER...

IT HAS BEEN TWO DAYS NOW AND I AM FEELING MUCH BETTER.  MY LOWER BACK STILL ACHES FROM TIME TO TIME BUT I'LL ENDURE IT.  I ALSO DECIDED TO DO ONLY CARDIO THIS WHOLE WEEK AND SEE HOW I FEEL NEXT WEEK.

ALSO TODAY I STARTED KAHEALANI ON HER FIRST DRILLS WITH THE KETTLEBELLS DOING SHUTTLE RUNS.  AND AFTER THAT SHE DID SOME BOXING WHICH SHE LOVED THE MOST.

YESTERDAY I JUMPED ON THE "ELLIPTICAL MACHINE" FOR 15 MINUTES SINCE IT IS MY "REST DAY".  TODAY I DID MY FULL CIRCUIT WORKOUT ON THE "BOWFLEX" AND ALSO 15 MINUTES ON THE "ELLIPTICAL MACHINE".

AND THEN I GO TO THE KITCHEN TO DRINK SOME WATER AND GUESS WHAT I SEE ON THE STOVE???

SO UNFAIR, I WAS SO TEMPTED BUT I MANAGED TO ONLY GO FOR A "MELALEUCA EXCLUSIVE" ENERGY BAR.
