Under the Knife: Sep. 30

Yeah. I was constantly stirring the bloody eggs like Gordon said to do. And, I would like to point out, he managed to do the same thing.
 
At the risk of giving the Alps Street Ranger, I must point out that the bacon should be cut up small, fried with a very small onion (or half a medium-sized one) and a clove of garlic, then withdrawn. You leave the bacon fat in so the omelette doesn't stick, mix the bacon, onion and garlic into the mix (egg, milk, spices, some lumps of cheese) and then you pour it into thepan and scramble the eggs while you make some toast.
 
Bad news :undecide:

Something is going horribly wrong. I'm not sure how serious it is yet, but I've lost the ability to keep most food down. I can still do milk and mildly prepared eggs. Soft cheese and even bread is okay. Everything else is vomit time.

I'm going to try backing my diet down to soft foods and see if that fixes it. If it gets worse or any other problems emerge I may have to seek medical help.
 
Go to the doc straightaway. This is not a joke: too much time staring at the screen might make you vomit.
 
I hope the issue will resolve itself for you soon.
 
It's alright guys. I'm not bleeding in my stomach or anything like that. I can get enough calories to be safe if I'm just careful what I eat.

It's not an emergency at the moment. I'll see how it goes before I go to all the trouble of seeing a doctor. This kind of stuff comes with the territory. My state of mind was a little panicked because I had just spent an hour throwing up when I wrote the post up there :)
 
All things in moderation, including moderation.

Oooh, am I walking a line there? :P Nah, just a modern moderate man? Hmmm.

Either way, hope you feel better Alps. Keep us appraised if you have the time!
 
Man... I kinda want to PDMA the mod action on a fellow mod. But I won't.

Take care of yourself, Alps.
 
I'm fine. Thanks for everyone's concern :)

Just keeping it real bland and soft today. No sign of trouble.
 
Some really good news: I have an old treadmill that I haven't been able to use for years because I was too heavy. ( The motor basically just locked up when I stepped down. ) I've apparently lost just enough weight that I can use it again :banana:

It's late so I just did 5:00 at low speed ( I'm a recovering couch potato, forgive me. ) But I'm planning on building up my time and speed and using it every day from now on.

So now my readily accessible home exercise gear is 2x 20 LB Dumbells and 1 incline-adjustable treadmill.

Not too bad, really.
 
Set that treadmill up in front of a TV and get an hour of exercise in every night. It's an awesome calorie-burner.
 
Stomach is back on track. I had a cheaty birthday ( pizza and Mt. Dew ) and didn't feel the slightest bit of nausea. *Phew*

Now I just need to not abuse the return of my good ol' iron stomach.

Been hitting the treadmill first thing in the morning every day. Also later in the afternoon. Using the weights periodically( 3-4 times a day. ) Once I get my flabby limbs up to a respectable baseline I need to look up better workout techniques and join the YMCA/Gym or look for better home equipment.

My time and number of reps with the weights are nothing to brag about yet ( I'm recovering from being severely sedentary and it kinda sucks :/ ) but they're both improving. I feel better than I have in ages.
 
When you get addicted to that feeling, and especially when your posture starts improving and you feel like you have a spring in your step, you won't want to stop. :)
 
I dunno, 20 lb barbells is nothing to laugh at. I don't have the discipline for that kind of work. But I move sheets of plywood at work all the time, so I pretend that's enough. (it's not :P)

I do, however, enjoy how I feel after biking to work in the morning. On the days I don't Nike I never really feel like I woke up. But even if I'm "under the weather" I always feel better after the ride. It's only 25 total, and a change in elevation of 250, but before I set out I'm not excited at the prospect - you'd think evolution would have given us all an anticipatory elation at the though of exercise, considering how good it is for us!

:MAD: scumbag evolution
 
10 and 20 lb weights are all I need for my basic exercises, although I'm not much of a lifter so my routine is pretty light there.
