My Own Goal and Challenge...

My own Challenge   In no way is this an arrogant post it’s of my own today as I have been having some serious leg problems and with all that said, I have been out taking a ton of pictures each and every day.

I met with my doctor yesterday and I was put on the list for my knees. I know I have a bit or arthritis and as well I have fractured my left knee. This was back some time ago but having the pain that I have had I have always thought past it but now that summer is here this is the time to just do it.

There has been some serious stress that does affect the immune system, and my wish and desire is to do what I had done a few years ago. While sitting in the locker room I ran into two old friends there. One is a retired farmer Bud, whom is 65 and is in the shape of a 25 year old and then Jim is the other whom works within the federal corrections one of my own age here as a guard he is a great guy standing nearly seven feet but truly nice both of these gents.

It was great to see them and they have continued with there own style of training but the regard after a work out – the locker room talk was something that we always did. We talked on all subjects and I never realized how much I was missed by so many within this place here.

Each of us had not seen each other in three years. Then we talked and I explained what I had at hand and both said, “Whatever you need give me a call”. Now that does not happen that often but I intend to show my progress as time goes on.

Thereafter,  I ran into another friend that is the administrator of the gym, my old friend Nikki. She specialized in kinesiology during here university years. As she has always been, she there was a time in which we nearly got together but I was travelling too much and I never wished to hurt her in the case that I am gone. And she is married now but still a great friend and gave me a few things from which to think about with training as well as other things in consideration to my folks.

 

“I knew that something was wrong within your family from a few people”. We sat down and talked for some time and then I told her that I wish to measure my progress and she said don’t do it like you did before. Within mind and body I am and I am now doing things for myself. For my own needs. There comes a time you can just sit and wait or you can take action in a meaningful manner. I have a goal within the next two weeks. No Alfa Male here but I am going to achieve it. 

 

For every action there is a reaction. My take on things within this post is the theme of achieving a goal that I can obtain.

  10. This has been ongoing for a while Agnes, but we do have that but I don't use them in the winter it was terrible but now with the change in temperature it's fine as there are several different means but I am not in that bad of pain, winter was not great, but it's about exercise and as well eating right and during the winter having that heat in which you mentioned.
    We do have them but I opted in the winter for an ointment. So it's all well and I thank you I am not in terrible condition...but my knees have bothered me for the last few years, so now I am placing a value in enjoying something that brings about something that I have done before and it worked and now doing it again.

    I can't describe when I get into that zone as last week when I partook in the Kendo class, it made me realize more things than one.

  21. If that be so, then no wonder mine are racing neck and neck into obsolescence.
