I am to start exercise again. Today in fact!  I am not without hope because of people like my family and friends like you and OT with your excellent training threads and on top of that your superb commentary elsewhere on these forums!  I am down 30 lbs too.   ;D ;D

And my brothers have all been giving  me a hard time but I have come to the realization that I am too old to be as big as I was decades ago, LOL!

Well, at least my ego is still huge.  ;D

As long as your ego stays intact you should be in good shape. It is wise of you to rethink how much work you want your heart to do. Extra pounds whether muscle or fat can be hard on one's heart....the one in their chest....not the one in their head.  ;)

Down 30lbs is outstanding.  As I have said before, do what you can while realizing your limitations. In other words do what you can do. You can't compare what you did prior to the injury. Your new reality gives you new goals to reach in the parameters of your limitations.

  My wife had her spinal cord surgery and after recuperating worked up to walking four blocks.  I tried to walk with her too keep her company and she would tell me on several occasions to slow down. I thought I was walking slow but it was too fast for her.  I let her lead from then on and walked a step back. She was exhausted after her walk but to her credit she was working hard. I think some people with limitations in reality are working out just as hard as person running or lifting with inhuman performance standards like a 5 minute mile.  My wife was walking very slowly but she was working as hard as she could. I'm happy for her even though it's a slow recovery. I did everything for her for long time. Combing her hair because she couldn't move her arms to do that task.  Carrying everything for her. The list goes on in such mundane things like washing her hair. Now she is recovering after surgery at a slow pace but it's a forward path.  I just reminded her a couple of days ago how when she was young she could do a standing back flip day in and day out.  I have never been able to do that, lol.

You are a good an caring partner to your wife. Maybe don't remind her of yesteryears' physical feats for awhile. Instead praise her for what she's accomplishing today.

"Sigh"...Here goes. 

Today I did three sets of vertical machine bench press with (I hate what is happening to me, LOL!) 40 to 60 lbs. supersetted with pulldowns with 50 lbs.  All sets were for 10 to 20 reps. 

Next 40 lbs. pec-dec supersetted with 20 lbs. DB bentover rows 3 sets of 10 to 20 reps.   

One set of standing waist twists for 500 reps.   

As punishment for my effete abilities I am currently listening to the new ABBA channel on SiriusXM.  Actually, I like ABBA and it reminds me of when I was a bouncer at a disco in the 70s.  Somewhat good times not nearly as good as I recall but I am happy to be able to recall them all the same! 

I am frustrated but admitting my weakness will hopefully help me to continue to train in an effort to get better and better. Wes is another gentleman here whose training ethic I admire.

Whatever you can accomplish is better than doing nothing. And, without giving anything away, when Wes so recently got back into the game, it was a rough go. I am amazed at how quickly he progressed....I think he is too.

Five sets of vertical machine bench press with 20 to 50 pounds for sets of 10 to 50 reps.  Each set was super-setted with  a set of cable rows with the same weight and rep range.  Ten sets total. 

Those druggie guys do their "Road To Dialysis The wOak Classic, so maybe I should do a Road To Fookit?  LOL!

I am encouraged by this and OT's thread.  Thank you gentlemn.
