Well my new work schedule started this morning and I made lemonade out of lemons!

 

For work flow needs they shifted my hours from 5am to 1:30 to 6am to 2:30. I decided that due to the way that the traffic moves on the freeways, (I drive 65 miles each way) that I would come in at the same time in the AM. I took the opportunity to get in 30 minutes of cardio that is about 2 times around the building or about 2 miles. The company gym opens at 5AM so I think I will dress for workout at home, get right into the gym, do a half hour of weights or so, take a quick shower and STILL beat most of the traffic into the parking lot!!

 

Who says all changes are for the worse? I think I will like this new schedule

Good on ya!  Say... what do you think your attitude would have been about a year or so back?  I'll wager that you wouldn't have been so happy

By the way.... how did you like Doc Ali?  Did you have your surgery at Orange Coast?  I got great after care there.  As one Nurse put it, "Dr. LePort puts the fear of God into us!"

LOL! yep the nurses said the same thing to me! OC was GREAT! I have been in a couple of hospitals and this was the best by far! Dr Ali was great through the whole thing. I had my 6 mo checkup over a month ago and we were looking at the tumor on my kidney and through all the fuss, I forgot if they want us to come back for a what, 9 month, 1 year? or are we on our own unless we have problems? I guess I could call his office but while I am here, I thought I would ask you. A year ago, I would NEVER have even thought about working out, too fat, too shy about what I looked like but the guys at the company gym are great and got me going. I have bought a membership at another gym for time reasons, like I don't want to wait any longer to get out of town than is needed. If I work out FIRST, I am WAY ahead of the game!

Yep - I'm kinder pissed about that whole deal.  After I got my 6 months check up they said, "Don't call us... we'll call you" I'm fixin' to call 'em. I liked the care, during the surgery, but their office is kind of jacked up.  The right hand don't know what the left hand is doing.... if you get my drift.   BTW you are pretty close by.... we otter get some of the other local bros (carbonblob?) together and have a So.
