It's Coming Along

So hear we are at my mid-January report.

I am able to run/walk through most workouts and scale back my weight a bit, down about 6 pounds. My workouts have been weights twice a week and about 45mins-1 hr of cardio daily. I am trying to keep my heart at around 130-155 BPM and the only way I am currently able to this is by a walk run strategy. I am currently doing (5W6R4W6R4W6R4W6R4W) and it is ok, albeit somewhat disappointing since where my fitness was at in 06 and some of 07.

I am imagine my fitness will again take a fall once I go under the knife. Hopefully the surgery will happen shortly after my appointment on the 31st so I can work towards another season this summer.

Probably An Operation

Doctor went ok today. He basically told me '...have surgery if you want, but there are no guarantees. Take a month a think about it.'

I am leaning towards the surgery of a partial discectomy (not sure thats the right term but it works for me).

So my next few weeks are going to be about getting some stuff done:

Shed the X-mas weight
Take my express test for work
and basically get to the business of getting better

Next appointment is Jan 31 and I will decide by then what to do. During the next little while I will be doing some light weights and light cardio and I will attempt shed a lot of weight.
