Keithie boy,
how is your diet as of today brother? give us a breakdown...
I'm fine with the eating. Still have a donut here and there but not that bad. I eat 2 bags a chicken a week from Costco. I know that much. I mix in some fish here and there. I love spinich so I go through a few bags a week of that. I drink only bottled water, crystal light lemonade, 1% milk or Cranrasberry drink. I have cereal once in awhile. I go through a 6 pak of egg white a week I know that from Costco. I snack on cashews or almonds. I have peanut butter. And I do usually make spaghetti once a week. Oh, I do drink some diet coke but not allot. I make a 12 pak last a week or more. I love crystal light.
Was your decline in health all from the spider bite or did you let yourself go too?
Yep, when I got bit I was at my peak of cardio I have ever been. I weighed 298. I was rifing my bike 28 miles a day 4 to 5 days a week. On weekends I pulled the truck tire filled with cemet around Diamond Head crater. Took 3 hours. I was swimming everyday and even kayaking once in awhile. I was lifting everyday. I was training for the 2000 Olympics. Then it all ended. I moved to Vegas after I spent almost the entire month of March in the hospital about 4 months later when I could walk again. I started training about at the Golds on Sahara and Decatur. But I would get so sick and my leg would swell up so bad that I just couldn't train very much. SO it got farther and farther between workouts. Got very depressed from not being ableto do anything. Moved back to Hawaii. It got just as worse. Now I am in Kona and getting back into shape except about two months ago the new owner of the gym I was training at kicked me out becasue I am opening my own gym and everyone is talking about it and he said he was sick of it and wanted me out. So now I haven't touched a weight for almsot two months. I go to the beach and just lay there. In fact after theis message its where I am going. I'll get better and back in shape. I really want to go to the ASC next year. So we'll see how I look and feel. DOn't worry I will take pics once I get back on the weights.
Also, the bite didn't cause me to get fat. It was the lack of training. I really don't eat anymore than I ate when I was in shape. The only difference is I aint working out or active. It did do somethign to my thyroid. I have a blood test scheduled next week and am working with a very well known doctor who will determine what I can do to get the weight off and get my leg better. I still have an infection in my lower leg that has repercusions all the time.
I have shown these pics on here allot but maybe you haven't seen them. I had a very bad reaction to the venom. I chose to keep my leg rather than have it amputated. Hopefully this new doctor will be able to give me something that will work.
