It’s that time again! Yeah the time pretty much everyone dreads!
Going to the Dentist for the 6 Month Check up!
I guess I cannot say I really dread it but I definitely have better things to do with my time then go to the Dentist.
I have not had a Cavity in over 15 years, but I am dreading my next few visits.
My Wisdom teeth have finally grown in and the time to have them removed is upon me.
Woke up yesterday and sat down to have a bite to eat and all of a sudden a very sharp pain shot through my body starting at what feels like Tooth #1 on the right side of my jaw.
Well oddly enough my 6month cleaning is Scheduled for Sept. 16th, I did however email the Office last night and tell them about my situation.
Last time I was in the Dr. wanted me to have the Wisdom teeth pulled anyways but he told me it was not urgent.
So I have held off on doing so. Right now I am debating to wait for 2 weeks for the Scheduled cleaning appt. or do I just go on ahead and make an appt. with the Oral Surgeon and get these two buggers removed and hope that is the cause of the pain.
Like I said above I did email the Dentist Office and told them whats up, and I did ask the opinion on what I should do.
I really do not look forward to having these removed. From pretty much everyone I have talked to it was not a pleasant experience and with me working in a -30 deg. freezer I think I will be in a bit more pain while trying to breath in at work.
Well for now I am pretty much just bearing with the pain and not eating anything to “hard”.
Well now I am off to go lay in bed and possibly watch Dark Blue! w00t!

So I have along with many of my other current and past employees have though that this place is haunted. We have all seen and heard many things working here.
Recently it had gotten a bit more intense. Kyle (my brother) and I will be working in the freezer and when we get up in to an isle we will notice individual frozen cheese block will be laying in the middle of the isle.
The fun part is it was not sitting there when we pulled the previous load. Its also one of those things you cannot overlook either.
If you happen to miss it the cart would not. Meaning the cart you put product on would hit the cheese stopping the cart in it’s tracks lol!
It is definitely interesting! We always hear stuff fall but when we go and look nothing is on the floor. You always have this feeling like someone is watching you when you get down on the ice cream end of the freezer.
It’s pretty intense sometimes!

Wow.
The last 2 days have been a handful. Right now I have been up for 34hours. I could not sleep one bit last night.
I am sort of tired but not really. This is kind of odd too because I had a long work day today. We had our Semi come in and we had to offload it.
But I feel alright for the most part. I have the ambition to do my sets/weights and then head off to the shower and then off to bed to hopefully sleep till I need to go back in to work tonight!
Nothing much to report. Food Intake has been great. I have not gone over 1600 Calories, or 1600mg of Sodium in the last 2 days.
So thats all for now!

So instead of just doing the sets of Situps, Pushups, etc. etc. I went to the gym today.
Did 60mins on the Elliptical went a distance of 7.53miles. The Machine said I burned 654 Calories. Pretty nice.
When I came home I also did my sets as I stated in my first line of this post. So I feel very exhausted! I Burned up almost all of the calories I have taken in today so thats pretty interesting all in itself. The scale at the gym also shows me at 189lbs. So thats pimp! I am 4lbs from my 185 goal I originally had. I reset my goal to 180lbs.
I would like to really get all in shape and get in the 160-170 range and have a ton of my muscle show and not much flab at all. This would make me really happy.
Though I think to do something along the lines of this it will take me a full year to complete. I have a lot of fat that needs to be lost and then re-toned.
So we will see!

Yeah I know a day late! Oh well what are ya gonna do right?
Anyways, I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I know I did. We ended up having BBQ Ribs on the Grill, Cupcakes, Chips and other stuff that is no where near good for you!
It was a holiday though, and on holidays you are given the right to splurge and go off your diet.
So yeah with that being said, I did not track anything at all from yesterday. I am not too worried about it though, I know I most likely burnt it all off today at work!
Yeah another upsetting thing happened. I had to go in to work last night. We are like one of the very few company’s around here that are open pretty much every holiday!
Sucks hardcore but whatever I guess.
I am thinking about getting one of them watches that monitor your heart rate, and based on heart rate can tell you how many calories you have burned. I have a pretty active and fast paced job and I bet I burn a lot more calories at my job then one would expect.
So I would like to know just how many calories I burn on a given day especially on my semi-days.
So maybe we will look in to this on our next pay day. As for tracking of Calories today.
Calories: 700 Sodium: 850mg
Reason I am posting this now is because I know I am going to be going to sleep here pretty soon. I am going to force myself to do my sets of situps, pushups and dumbell press’s before I head off to bed though. I need to get in the habit of doing these so I can build up my arms and back again.
Why so low Calories and Sodium today? (A:) Pretty much because on work days all I do is eat breakfast and sometimes a snack/lunch at work. When I get home it is usually off to bed for me. I am going to try and be more active after work for at least an hour, but on nights like tonight were I did not get much sleep before work I just don’t have the energy not to pass out when I get home.
This is as of 10am though. Their is a very good chance I will be up around 6 or 7pm tonight back at it before work again!
Goal for this week is to get to the gym again. I need to get weighed in officially. See where I currently sit!

So as some of you know if you had read my blogs on here in the past back in Feb. of 2010 I had to go in to the doctors for a checkup. I think I was sick or something at the time.
I also recall having my DOT Physical for my job and I did not pass the Blood Pressure part due to it being too high.
So about the middle of February I decided I was going to start eating better, and start working out to get in better shape and try and lower my blood pressure the natural way. Plus I don’t want to have to remember to take pills everyday.
At the Start of February of 2010 I weighed in at around 230lbs.
As of today July 3rd of 2010, I weight in at 190lbs.
So my actual goal of losing weight is going really well, its been about 40lbs lost in 5 months. Now most people who would have lost or are losing as much weight as I am in this amount of time would not change or really monitor their eating plans to any extent in which I am going to try and do.
For me though its not all about losing the weight. My Blood Pressure is something that always seems so high. I think what it is while I am still burning more Calories then I am taking in, I am still eating a ton of junkish food that is very high in Sodium. This is causing my BP to run so high on me.
So “The Plan” is to start keeping track of my Calorie/Sodium intake and try and stay under 1600mg of Sodium in single day and also stay around 16/1700 Calories in a day as well.
#1 cause of high blood pressure though is not being active. I have to admit it has been over 1 month since I have hit the gym. So I also need to try and go at least every other day.
I also want to get in the habbit of doing Situps, Pushups, Bicep Curls and Military Press’s before I take a nap.
This is the rep system I am looking at for the first two weeks.
Situps: x20
Pushups: x20
Bicep Curls (30lb Dumbells) x8
Bicep Curls (75lbs Curlbar) x8
Military (Overhead Press 75lb Curlbar) x10
After the first two weeks I plan to increase the weight on the Dumbells and Curlbar and for the Situps and Pushups add in another set of x20 after the weights.
Hopefully doing this everyday before bed mixed with going back to the gym and running on the elliptical for 60mins well kick me back in to shape pretty quick.
I will keep this blog posted with the weight changes and the rep changes along with what I eat and how much Sodium/Calories/Protein I am ingesting on a daily basis!
The Goal is to keep a Low BP and Get to 180lbs.
So Stay Tuned! We will see how this goes!

So after a long long hiatus of not posting on here I have decided it is time to return!
I have been working on a new Health/Diet goal. I think I am going to use my Blog to help keep track of what I am doing and how well I am doing it.
I plan on keeping an online blog of the foods I am eating everyday and the amount of Calorie + Sodium intake I am consuming.
More on this later in the Health Blog itself.
Anyways it should be interesting.. Boring.. But Interesting none the less!
Stay Tuned!
