2008- the year of frustration.

I stared 2008 off on a roll, then my weightloss got totally derailed. Why? A torn labrum in my left shoulder left me with months of pain and strength loss. After jumping through numerous diagnosis hoops, I finally had surgery on 9/17- the beginning of four very long months of recovery. My doc has now released me, and my shoulder ROM is "within normal limits". I managed not to gain while I was recovering, but I didn't loose either.

I have, however, learned a few things. Mostly that whatever program I do has to fit in a 5 day period. Weekends are my own, and as I travel nearly every weekend and am active while on the road, formal workouts (strength or cardio) aren't going to happen. I also know that I don't want to spend the better part of my free time during the week in the gym.

I've decided to give Leigh's OPT program a try. I'm committed to the first round of it- starting today. I've not been good about logging in the past, but we are going to try and make up for that this go round.

2009- the year I get it done.
