What did I want to achieve?
28 days ago I was barely out of hospital. I had set a goal to walk 3.5kms twice a week and start doing freestanding squats and calf raises. 4 days of exercise, such as it was then.
What did I achieve?
- I am walking 15kms in three different sesssions per week.
- I follow an extensive flexibility/stretching/core strengthening routine daily.
- I am doing a full body weight training routine in the gym 3 times per week.
- I am off ALL medication which included antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflamatries, anti-dpressants, sleeping pills and anti-coagulants.
- My emotional mindset is extremely positive
- Physically, I'm feeling fantastic, mobility limitations not withstanding.
I think I can be pretty happy with where I am.
Where will I be in another 28 days.
I'll post new goals in my post The Crusades shred 2 day 1 tomorrow

Wow! Sweetie....you are doing so great! I can't believe you are off meds. That in itself is a huge accomplishment! High five me, baby!
Hi Dougal, I really missed your blogs while at the beach, and now that I just read today´s, I see you doing so well! It seems to me that you are just pretty darn close to being where you were before the accident. You seem so devoted to doing better and better, and I KNOW you will. Seeing you without pills is so awesome. You are one strong man Dougal. Am proud of you!

Dougal, great job man. You've buried all your goals and then some. Great news about being off the meds. What a story, what a story!
Amazing!! I had no idea that happened such a short time ago! This is a story everyone should hear!
Wow! Dougal. You never cease to amaze me. I've been reading, but I've not had any thoughtful comments. I've been too busy thinking about what I'm reading. lol Maybe I'll just start typing in Amen, brother so you know I'm hear. Can't wait to buy your book. :)
Andrew, I am really being careful but I am also feeling very strong
Shari, you got a high five girl, thank you. Getting off sleeping pills was a biggy.
Lynda, thought you'd abandoned me. Thanks for coming by, hope you had a good time at the beach.
