6/11 213.7 (2.6) should of been more. Very little exercise the last 3 days because of aggravated hamstring/calf muscles behind the knees (both legs). Feeling better this morning but yesterday I considered calling local sports physician for an appointment to have x-rays or ask for physical therapy.

Great work!

What did you decide to do about the hamstrings? Are they feeling better? My left hammies are starting to be chronically contracted, and it’s really limiting my movements. I don’t know whether to just do a home stretching program, or jump straight to the pros. Never experienced anything like this before.

Looked up personal trainer videos on YouTube. I also have plantar facitas at times. The two I have watched the most often are “Bob and Brad” and “AskDoctorJo” For hamstrings and Plantar Facitas they have videos on stretching, self massage and using a hard surface ball or tennis ball to massage the sore areas. Planter Facitas, Hamstrings and Calf’s muscles all influence each other.
Took me about a week before I was pain free but only about a day after I followed some of the instructions in the videos.

6/25. 210.5

I’m going to recommended another YouTube account ( MotivationalDoc) which I discovered yesterday. This guy has got me fired up about eating right and trying some natural mixed cocktails to stimulate weight loss and overall health.


Example 1
A mix of cayenne pepper, lemon, honey and extra virgin olive oil every morning right before you eat breakfast. I’m going to try several tips to see if they work.

I thought that I was going to go under 180 this week but I guess pizza & Napoleans are not the best way to get there.
