Combating back pain in Montana's dry, winter months seems tough! But I'm here to motivate you and remind you- health is wealth.
I try not to use Tylenol and Ibuprofen too much, only because the back of the label says it can cause liver damage...
November 1 is Dia de Los Muertos- Day of the Dead.
Today I honor my grandmother who died from respiratory illnesses, and my grandfather passed away from Dementia. My friend died by suicide ten years ago. There is a stigma around death, but we often forget no one gets out alive. We all end up...
Which made me think about what I had given up. My list starts with milk, pasta, and bread most of the time. (an occasional old-school cheeseburger still happens). When I thought about it, I've given up exercise. Seriously.
On Wednesday, June 5th, both Rose Park and South Park pools will be open for business. Cheap fun and healthy exercise (definitely better than sitting on the couch playing Fortnite).
It's been awhile since I've talked about my workout regimen. At first it seemed like I lost a lot of weight. I was doing daily cardio at Billings Athletic Club and dropped 15 pounds (from 245 to 230) in my first 5 weeks. Over the next 3 months I dropped another 10 pounds despite adding a weightlifting program to my workout...
If you've been reading this blog then you know I work out regularly at a local club. I usually go in the morning so I have a bunch of energy throughout the day. Seems like the older crowd also shows up mostly in the morning.
I'll spare you the graphic details but I was in the men's room here at work just a few minutes ago when I had a "eureka" moment... always a bad way to start a sentence but this isn't bad, I promise. After I finished watering the lilies and re-fastened my belt it felt like my pants were going to slide off my hips...
I've been working out at Billings Athletic Club since early January. In the first 6 weeks I lost 23 pounds which I find incredible. Unfortunately it seems like for the last 3 weeks I haven't lost a pound. I've actually moved to an even more strenuous workout regimen and while I'm sure I've added a little muscle it's probably not enough to account for the lack of weight loss...
