Trip to see the doc
I went to the back doctor today, and I got some mixed news:
The bad:
- I have several disks that are worn down beyond what would be considered normal for a guy of 40. He even went so far as to ask what kind of trauma I’d had to my back. Answer: None.
The good:
- He gave me the go ahead to run 3x per week. He even liked the Couch-to-5k program I’m doing.
- My hips are fine, which was a concern going into this thing.
- I have an official target weight: 245. I got him to sign a paper saying as much, so WW will accept that as my goal.
I even had a session of some hydro-therapy tonight. It’s like a water bed, roughly the size of a twin bed. Get on, lay on your back. The nurse pushes some buttons, and in a few seconds you’ve got these jets of water running up and down your back. (See picture) It felt heavenly. I have GOT to get one of these for my house.

I agree. The Hydro-Therapy gadgets are definitely sent from Heaven.
If you get one, dibs on Thursday nights!
