a personal journey toward fitness for life

A Brief Explanation

Here's the short story. I've neglected my health for nearly a decade. I'm using this Weblog to document my efforts toward better fitness. Here's the opening post, which pretty much explains it all. I've taken as my motto the words of Dr. George Sheehan. "First, be a good animal."

Week 2 - Day 1

I need to find a less cumbersome naming convention for these posts.

Saw my back x-rays this morning. There's a bit of arthritis starting on a couple of discs, but no huge worries there at this point. The compression between L5 and S1 is the culprit. Proper hydration, stretching, traction, weight loss - so many things that can be done to stave off further degeneration. With any luck, I can get it to the point where I'm only crawling on my hands and knees in misery ever few years.
