hospital. +UPDATE+

spent most of the day at the hospital with my mom and dad. (thought of you Suzette)
He is fine.. had another "spell" with his blood pressure.. he will meet with cardiologist tomorrow.

Nothing like spending the day in a hospital and seeing sick people coming in and out.. to motivate you to get fit! I am not kidding! from the extra wide wheel chairs, to the three people i saw with oxygen tanks.. to seeing the extreemly over weight mother bring her sick child (the child had hospital bands on .. was about 3 years old).. to the vending machine to get her SICK child a COKE and CHEETOES! .. wow.

It was just another AH HA moment for me.. to re-direct my thinking and rededicate myself to eating healthy and takin care of this old body. Makes me want to scream (to them and MYSELF) DONT YOU REALIZE YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT? YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO?

so I am off to lift weights (day three of my blitz) and drink some more water.... and focus on progress.. not perfection.

Life is way to short to treat my body like a trash bin. no more junk...

I am on a mission ..to grow old and stay healthy. and it starts (again) today.

UPDATE: 7.53pm
ok.. just finished my workout.. I thought i would be able to get to it this afternoon but it didnt workout the way I wanted.. so .. after supper.. I hit the garage :) .. did back and bis and abs.. ( blitz workout #3)
feels great.. I really tried to push myself.. I got so "hot" in the "cold" garage that I took my sweat shirt off and got to see some arm muscles as I flexed :) ..

tomorrow.. is my planned busy day :) .. (co-op).. so I will post after I workout ... I also MUST go grocery shopping tomorrow night.. so it will be busy plus groceries :) ..

Did you hear my sis.. Joann.. has officially lost a total of 50lbs!!!!! WAY TO GO SIS!!! you rock!
