Good news, long day and a buch of poop..

Going to Tyler for a doctors appointment always seems like an all day ordeal. Seems like no matter the time of the appointment it is always an hour later. Good news is that the stent is working and all looked good with Fran. Doctor said to come back in a year. A long day as we were not home until almost 5:00.
Called a plumber prior to going to Tyler as we had issues with both bath rooms. The long day allowed the water to over flow and leave us a nice few inches of poopy water in the shower and both floors. Plumber arrived at 6:30 and all is working well now. Clean up better today.
Missed the workout classes yesterday as well as Monday. I am sure that Friday will be tough.
Interesting funeral today. The man wanted to have his funeral the served lunch to all attendees. About 300 guest expected so this means 35 or so tables to decorate with greenery. A pickup load of pine, magnolia and holly did the trick, lots of help so no problem.

Funeral this morning.

One year ago

December 14 was my first day in the gym and the first real effort to become a non-smoker. Some days feel like I have been working out for a long time and other days let me know that I am really just a beginner. I can say that my first workouts are not much more than a warm up now. I remember first joining the Express class and barely making it through the half hour. Whispering "Is that all you got ?" A little later came the Body Pump, an additional hour of hard work. I did not think that I would ever be at the place I am now with the physical fitness stage that I have reached. The biggest achievement has been health improvements that came with not smoking. Very proud of my progress of this year.
Monday was the Christmas luncheon for Master Gardeners. Dave's last meeting and Jim will be our 2012 President. I know he will do great. Enjoyed the day but it did mean that I was not able to do the full workout at the gym. Wednesday will be Fran's follow up visit to her doctor in Tyler. This will also shorten my workouts.
Almost forgot that Keep Jacksonville Beautiful meets this morning. Better get to going. More later.

Weather

Lots of needed rain and now very cold. Cold is when it is below my age, so the twenties sure make it cold.
Today after the workouts I will participate in a customer satisfaction meeting at the gym. Guess this is an annual deal. Several of us old guys will do it. Might be that we were the only ones that took them up are they think we will give them only positive comments. We will see.
This comes at my one year date. It does seem odd that I have been working out every week for almost a year. The gains are many but seem to be much slower now than at the first. So glad that I no longer smoke and have become so much more fit.
Feel great about all but lunges. The legs just can not handle these.
