Reinvention is never complete

     Changes are something that never end. For if the world, nature or us mere creatures reached one state and remained there, we'd be dead. Then again, even dead changes still occur. It's been just over two years since I last touched this blog and I find that once again I must change to move forward. I have finally gotten some help for my medical problems and at last there is a chance to move forward, to change, to grow.

     I had a Radio Frequency Ablation done on my lower back. What this means is that they went in and burned out the nerve endings that have been causing me pain. They will re grow in 6 months to a year, but until then I will be relatively pain free. 6 months to a year... That's a lot of time for changes. This time however, it will be done my way, according to my desires, not the Navy's.  I won't be using their metrics, I won't be caring about making their measurements or goals. I'll be concentrating on my own.

     There are four aspects of health and fitness in my mind: Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep and Psyche. I have plans for each of these. To balance each of them and change. The other part to this will be not working towards a goal weight or body fat, it will be working to be fit, feel good and feel comfortable in my skin.

     I also have decided to follow the Marine method in doing things: break down completely and then build up. I am going to start using every method I can think of to shed fat and weight. Once I have reached a baseline I am comfortable with, then I will begin working on putting on the muscle that I want.

     Have a healthy tip? I'd love to hear it.
