Okay FS family, I'm back.
Here is an update with some photos. If you need to comment about me fishing due to my photos save your breath, and BTW just so you know you can't read another's motive.
So here's the scoop. I had a terrible back injury on 12/22. I tore both tendons and muscles in the lower back area, along with the bottom of my left lat. I've been down the road of doctors and PT route. Finally, today I started back exercising. I choose to start at 30% of my former max. Even at such a light exercise I could still feel a lot of discomfort in my lower back, but fortunate no real pain. The discouragement from not exercising caused me to check out of here and neglect my health. Although I lost a pound since last check in, I also lost a lot of muscle. Really what I've accomplished was shifting inches around, and not to the places I prefer.
I lost 1" in biceps, which reduces me to 15". I gained 2.5" in the waist, which puts me at 33.5"--that is real inches not a fictitious jean waist inches. I fear that my dead lifts and hanging leg-raises may have to be either done away with, or always kept very light. I turned 58 in Feb, and am feeling it. I would love to meet some old workout personal best, but I'm not holding my breath, however this will be my aim.
Please forgive for hiding and taking some me-time while I sorted this out. Below is today's post workout pics. I want to do a comparison pics in 12 weeks.
Put the steel weight on, and take the flesh weight off.
