October 14, 2013 411 Lbs

Well, this is the start of my Journey, October 14, 2013 weighing in at 411 Lbs and 55 years old.  I haven't gotten my surgery date yet, spoke with my doctors office last Friday and they have submitted to insurance finally.  She said it takes a week to ten days to get the go ahead but, they have been getting approvals from United Health in a few days so she says hopefully I will be in for surgery by the end of this month, I will be glad.  
I started working at the gym last week with a friend of mine (he used to be a body builder as well as a trainer in his younger days) man has he worked me.  I have found muscles I haven't worked in years, got up in the middle of the night after the first day of a work out and had a headache.  I got some asprin and couldn't get them to my mouth my arms were so stiff and sore.  I had to put them on the table and lick them up like an animal would do...lol
This routine we are doing is low weight high reps great for cardio and shaping the muscle, this is what we will be doing for quite while.  I'm sure the soreness will finally be gone after a couple weeks, I'll be so glad...lol...Only to have to go through it again after I have surgery, as I won't be able to do any of those exercises for a few weeks and then here we go again.  Ah well, at least it won't be as bad as this time.
Well that's enough for now, I will keep this up to date as much as possible with Pics.
I hope everybody is having a GREAT day...
