Early July Health Update
Time for a health update.
Good news first. Overall things are going very well. After taking a couple of weeks off exercising while my wife and daughter were in Honduras I started back to the weights and biking pretty smoothly. I actually lost two pounds even though I did not workout except for 1 ride while visiting my parents in Detroit. I had a great ride out to my in-law's house in Plainwell from Kalamazoo. The ride was 17.75miles and I had a total ride time of 69min!. That was good for a 15.5mph average. My best yet. the next day I weighed myself at the gym. I was down to 215!
Now the bad news. I have had some neck issues off and on for years. Mostly when I use electronic devices too much, such as Palm devices or BlackBerry's where my deck is craned downward for long periods of time. It is called "tech neck". After I finished biking I sat down at my in laws while I was still not cooled down yet. I proceeded to entertain myself with my BlackBerry while we waited for the fireworks to begin. Well after two days of tension and discomfort I decided to try to "workout" the tension at the gym. I used the neck flexor machine with a little weight on it to try to overcome the soreness. BAD IDEA! Now I have shooting pain down my arm. Similar to when you hit your "funny bone". I think it is from a herniated disk in my neck or at least a bulging one.

Alone but not alone.
My wife and 15yr old daughter are on mission trip to Gracias, Honduras.

Since my wife is pretty much my best friend and I speak with her at least 5 times a day while at work I feel deaf and dumb. I know that sounds weird. I have been traveling a little bit for work but we still talked via phone everyday and most days 2 or 3 times. Even when we went on a trip to Florida we still called back to speak with the kids daily. I will be getting some email updates from the organizers of her trip, but it will not be the same. I have the little ones of course, but this will be hard on them too. I now know exactly what military families have to go through.
