Dad jokes 

Going back to the gym.

I’m ready. 

It will be interesting.

 Up till now I’ve only ever done

ISOMETRIC Weight Training. 

So instead of picking up a weight 

(Extension) 

And curling it (flexion) - 

I did this type of training

Where the joint doesn’t move at all! 

You just push against 

An immovable amount of weight. 

So the muscle fires-

But it doesn’t move. 

It always made me bulk up. 

In fact- too bulky. 

My nursing instructors said

I always looked like an

Off Season Body Builder. 

So I sitting watch TV

With my Best Boy Fergus…

Pepper Poppers with Bacon. 

1/2 a Keto Ice Cream Bar. 

Hit the spot. 

Watching old movie with my cat…

And I got a text reminder. 

Waaaaaay back several months ago, 

I signed up for a program at the VA. 

It’s called MOVE. And it helps

Quantify weight loss and mobility. 

It’s a 16 week course. 

It’s all Veterans. All old farts. 

Like me. All people who want to 

Regain some Vim and Verve. 

I want to support all programs at the VA

So maybe they’ll get more funding 

For future projects. 

You can’t send millions of people to war

And then not care for them 

when they come back. Mangled. 

Hot dog! 

Sleep like a zombie with no wine. 

No booze makes you sleep.  

I’m prowling around all day and night. 

Snack. Mostly PSMF today. 

Protein Sparing Modified Fast. 

They always use that term

Out of context. 

It doesn’t spare protein, per se. 

When I snack, or eat, it’s 90% protein. 

It’s a clinic day for the Boy. 

That’s always like 6000 steps.
