January 18th

Wow.  The last post was on June 14th of last year.  Around that time I developed fistulas in my abdomen (due to the surgery and a subsequent infection), and that basically killed my workouts.  In fact, there have been some days where I could barely walk.  But I am finally starting to get back to a point where I can do a little bit, and am very tired of not working out.

Jessi has started doing the Bender Ball aerobics workout, and I have been doing a little bit of that with her.  I can't do much because of my stomach, but I'm doing what I can, and trying to build up my strength so that I can start doing some real workouts in the near future.  School has started again, so I am hoping to be able to go to the Rec Center within the next 2 weeks or so.

Our friends are getting married on a cruise, and we are trying our damnedest to get the money together to go.   Jessi wants to look good in a bikini by that time (beginning of October), so this means that I have someone else working out, which will make me much more likely to do it even though I'm hurting.  I think that getting into shape will help me get rid of these stupid fistulas, so this is definitely a good thing.  Even if it doesn't, being in shape will help with so many other things that it will still be worth it.
