Day 13
Weight- 278lbs
Today was a good freeday I woke and did some laundry and homework, then went and got my hair cut. Later on in the afternoon my buddy Bill joined me at the gym, basically to lounge around at the pool. When I came home I found out my uncle had had another heart attack while golfing, (probably time to just hang up the clubs). So my parents were planning on coming in town to see him at the hospital. It sounds like he is going to be ok. He had a heart attack a couple of years ago while golfing and it was a wake up call for him, but sounds like this was a BIG wake up call. So later I met my parents, brother, and sister-in-law at the Upstream brewery for dinner. I had the Mojo Chicken Quesadilla, which was delicious for anyone looking to find some good free day food. Now I am working on packing lunches for tomorrow and clothes for the gym before church. Busy day tomorrow so I am going to need some rest tonight.

This morning I did some house chores and kind of just relaxed. Around 1:30 I went to the gym to swim and then lay by the pool. I ran into Jon and he decided to swim with me. Pretty good workout, just trying to get to a point where I can continuously swim for 20 minutes, but that will take awhile. Then I layed by the pool till about 4:15 came in changed and shot some baskets for awhile then came home. Now I am going to head out to the bars and "party". Tomorrow morning and evening I will be hitting the books pretty hard so I don't have to deal with it as much on Monday and Tuesday.

Things are going good just not fast enough for my liking! lol I went to the chiropractor this morning, turns out my neck is straight. Which I assumed was a good thing apparently your neck should have a curve in it. I don't know if I am going to continue to see this doctor at least on a regular basis. He said once my neck was better then we could talk about wellness care. You just pay $100 per month and we see you for adjustments every week. Really? sounds great I get to pay you $100 per month so you can adjust my spine that is in good shape. Wow where do I sign up???? I think the next time I go to the doctor with flu symptoms I will ask him if he wouldn't mind if I came back every week after I was better.
After I got out of the money grabber I mean chiropractors office I went to the gym and did my leg workout. This was the first time I really broke into a good sweat at the new gym, finished off the workout shooting some free throws. (Man my shot is terrible) Work was frustrating tons of calls not a lot of sales. I really dislike Thursday's because its the day before my weekend and my late shift just makes the day drag even more. Came home watched some TV and went to bed that is why I am writing my journal entry this morning.

Didn't post yesterday because I stayed out pretty late and didn't take the time to post when I got home. Today was very relaxing I woke up ate watched some TV then I went to the gym and swam some laps for cardio. I left the gym and headed over to my buddies parents house for a 4th of July party. We mainly hung out by the pool it made for a nice lazy day. I came home made some dinner and then went outside and watched some fireworks down by the lake for awhile.

Day 9
Weight- 279
I got to the gym around a quarter to 6 this morning I have decided to start swimming for my cardio. I am a pretty good swimmer but way out of practice. I couldn't even make it a lap without getting tired. I ended up doing just about every stroke I know to make it 20 minutes. This is going to be a fun new challenge. I showered and got ready for work at the gym I had plenty of time so I went to the gym's cafe and had a cup of coffee while I watched tennis with a few old guys. I left the gym around 7 and headed to work. I wanted to leave myself plenty of time so I could figure out how long it would take me to get from the gym to work. Turns out it takes about 30 minutes from the gym to my desk, so that's not too bad. It takes about 20 minutes from my apartment. Work went by fairly quickly I spent most of the day putting out fires. I came home ate and rested for awhile then went to the Transformers sneak peak at AMC. Wow! what a movie, even if you don't know what a transformer is it will be a fun one to see. Need to go pack my food and clothes for tomorrow.

Day 8
Weight- 280lbs
I didn't post yesterday because it was a late night, I had a few friends over for a little Sopranno's style dinner. It was delicious, salad, baked ziti, meatballs, gabagool italian sandwich. I went to church this morning, then work, all day at work I was contemplating whether or not to switch gyms. I finally took the plunge and joined the new lifetime fitness here in Omaha. The main thing that was holding me back was the distance. It is about 8 miles from my house instead of Gold's being 2miles. The place is beautiful it is more like a resort than a gym. Great weight facilities, more cardio machines than I could use in a year, and indoor and outdoor pools w/ water slides. I might have to come up with a water slide workout. hmmm.... They also give you two guest passes per month. So if anyone wants to come workout or hang by the pool let me know! There are more amenities than I can list, very cool place to continue my journey. Tomorrow I will start the day off with some laps in the pool which will be my new cardio for awhile. The one thing I am going to start doing is getting ready for work at the gym to save myself time. So I need to go pack my lunch and my clothes.
