General Update

I have not been blogging much lately, as you can tell by the rather large gaps in time between posting dates.
There really has not been much going on lately.
I went to my doctors appointment and got great news on all of my blood work. All of the numbers were where they were supposed to be.
My T level was up on the high normal side so we are tweaking the amount of Androgel that I use daily.
My weight was where it had been on my last visit. No new loss...that was somewhat depressing but I got some new medication that should help with taking those last 8-10 pounds off.
I had previously mentioned that I was having problems with my upper right leg.
It seems that I strained my hip flexor muscles.
I was given some stretching exercises and told to ice the area down...no heat, which is what I had been using all along.
The problem still lingers on but hopefully it will get better as time goes by.
Today I had a great workout.
I did 5 miles this morning and then did 4 miles on my recumbent bicycle.
I took a brief break and then did another 11 miles on the bike.
I just got back from walking another 2 miles...making it 7 for the day and I will do another 4 miles on the bike, making that 15 for the day.
Not bad for an old geezer.
We are down to about 27 days until we leave for our next adventure...the Baltic Capitals cruise on the NCL Sun.
Veronica and I packed up 1 suitcase so far. We still have several more to go.
Won't be long now.

The Countdown Continues

Not much has been going on around here.
I have been doing my workout routine on a daily basis. Today I plan on giving my body a complete break from my walking and from my bicycle riding.
As of lately, the pain in my left foot is basically gone. It does not bother me at all when I am walking but if I message my foot, there still are some tender spots.
Now it seems that I am having some trouble with my right leg.
It is mainly around my upper leg and in the area of the hip joint. Sometimes the pain travels down to my right knee. It hurts when I walk, hurts when I lay on my right side, hurts when I lay on my stomach, hurts when I lay on my back...I guess you can say that it just plain hurts constantly.
I have a doctors appointment next Tuesday so I will get that checked out along with the results of some blood work and my official weigh in.
Hopefully I have continued to lose some weight and not hit that "wall" or plateau.
The countdown until our Baltic Capitals cruise is down to 41 days and a wake up.
Won't be long now until we are taking that big jet plane and flying over to the other side of the pond.
