Feel good, make tea with honey to start the day. Plan on jogging or long walks twice today. Not sure about yard work, not willing to strain the wound, need to make appointment with doctor for Thursday or Friday followup.

Can I do better today? hope so...
Yesterday I was distracted, so by the time I stopped being distracted and left the house to go shooting it was already after one, I should have finished the exercises and jog in the morning - but was waiting for the Sun, I told myself.
My weight was 223.4 pounds BP 126/82 heart rate of 46 bpm. I did come back home after making videos of my shooting style, with all my mistakes. I changed quickly since it was a beautiful day and went out on the road and did an hour, slowly so slowly. Still, I was out and jogging. Picked up a beagle as I jogged, no collar no tag, liked running on the asphalt better than the shoulder and wouldn't listen to me - he took off with a lady walking in a different direction. Although I was running slowly, I still think a longer legged hound would be better for my dog. FarmVille is promising a dog, and Carolyn Petty has started a group for putting a church into FarmVille. Somewhere there is a disgruntled politician that will want taxes.
Today my weight is 217.8 pounds, I really believe that jogging daily will continue to burn the fat right off, until I get much of the excess gone - anything over one hundred and eighty is excess, but loss after one ninety will be difficult but possible. My blood pressure was 135/84 and heart rate of 46 bpm. Devotions done with some special requests for others. My wife wants me to see a doctor about the super wart/growth on my right forearm. I guess I should. But I don't have a health plan, save for Tricare for Life. Hmm, but I have some money in the bank. Okay, we will go see the doctors. It could be cancer, for sure it is infected.
Visited three doctors' offices, and finally met a surgeon that was very willing to cut into me, it didn't go the way he was hoping, so another visit after taking antibiotics for a week then surgery next Friday to remove the growth for examination. He was pretty good with the scaple and sliced an X in the growth to allow drainage and the blood, red and rich just poured out. I could have done that. I felt a bit rocky so went and picked up my antibiotics Cephalexin two twice daily and went home to pout.
I had time between doctors offices so I stopped to get ammunition for the pistols, a hundred nine millimeter and three hundred fourty-five APC, since I don't shoot competition that should be enough for refining my dry fire and confirming my shots. I have books by Andy Stanford and Gabe Suarez on pistol shooting for effect. Two different styles but I will be okay learning from each. In the end when it really counts, just be able to get the shots on the target.

Still like a fat grey lamb...
I weigh in at 225.4 pounds today and snarl that I should have jogged yesterday, or used the treadmill, but did neither, so it shows - fat fool follows. Blood pressure with snarls is 147/87 but the heart isn't troubled 41 beats per minute.
I have gruel with wife, she finishes her shows and I watch General Powell and his wife talking about taking interest in the children's education - geting out and doing something with children as well as the current Obama program, they want seventy percent graduation from high school. They could have a hundred percent, just give out the diplomas. I would rather all the youth learn as much as they need for a fine life. Which might have only a little to do with the school systems. I wrote too much on my blog about it, so my exercises were late.
I knock out 26 reps of the basic three twice, and then belt up for gentle jogging. 227 calories burnt, 55% fat ones, average heart rate 108 bpm, in Zone 18m9s,eXercised 43m3s, found one penny. I see and wave wildly at my old Gunnery Sergeant now Postal Carrier, he hollers back. I am ashamed I am waddling along so slow but happy that he sees me trying anyway. I am starting up the hill at home when my wife is coming down, driving to her work, I wave and smile and wish her a great day. When I get home I sit on the porch step watching the Robin's mating ritual (the part where he drives off the competition - I understand that so well) and listen in the quiet neighborhood to the songs and cries of the other feathered creatures. I think about the rest of my day, working in the yard and garden for my home and wife. Don't turn on the television - it is so worthless - no reality upon it most of the time and it just eats at my better intentions.

March. comes in like a lamb...
So I start the month weighing 223.4 pounds, my blood pressure is 111/78 heart rate 41.
I find news on FaceBook that the grandfather of young people I met in Idaho has passed on to his reward and joined his wife in Heaven, I turned off that computer and finished my morning start. My wife decided to make blue berry pancakes, and I should have stopped eating them at five, but did nine and put two away for snacking later. I did knock out twenty-one reps of the basic three twice, then finished with eleven more - so I covered the fifty reps of the basic three, the day looks very good for long jogging and after a nap to sleep the pancakes into digested sugars, I will write my mother.
I do my exercises, 21x3 twicem then 11x3, but I talk myself into delay on getting out to jog, since the promise of sunshine is for the afternoon. It was a faulty promise, but what kept me wrong was watching television, when I finally finished I walked away from Laura Croft and rode the motorcycle to the Post Office to drop off my mother's letter about FarmVille fools (my sisters and I) and one book to read and one word puzzle.
I told myself I would get exercise by cutting the grass in the front yard, which I did get accomplished, need to sharpen the blades, but I didn't trim and I must kill all that moss, the yard has been conquered. If I were single I would keep the moss, but I like being married so I will kill it. Or beat it back. Television again got in the way of good exercise NCIS and Mondaynight RAW of the WWE, the Diva Pillow fight as fun. Everything else talk about Wrestlemania in twenty-seven days.

Retirement means...
Well, it does mean that you got off the hamster wheel of normal life, and have lots of time for one's own stuff. So I have been reading, and that is better than FarmVille ForEver. Still I find I need an internal Drill Sergeant to ensure that everyday I am doing all those things I need to get done to be a better fellow. Yesterday I found my mind gone, I was looking for a bottle of Crestor pills I had just picked up. I was looking for the old type bottle, and didn't look for the label. By the end of a frazzled day looking I read the labels and found that it was all where it should have been.
Today my weight is 226 pounds, that is too much, I will have to seriously work on it and the schedule of my life today - otherwise nothing good is going to happen. The blood pressure is 127/87 with a heart rate of 42 bpm, and I am smiling.

No One misses my efforts except me...
My mind drives the body to the recliner, the television and the computer seem to have my daily fix just waiting my attention. So of course I am falling into fat sloth-like hanging around waiting for the leopard to find me and be hungry enough to climb up after me. Seems like I lack discipline, doing the right thing when no one save self is watching.
