Day 64 - wisdom of the bands 6 and some real pain

6 Each meal should include a lean protein, a low glycemic carbohydrate and an essential (good) fat for optimal nutritional balance.

WHOOPS - I think they forgot the vegetables altogether.

Today was good although my right shoulder arm is pretty painful. It is the same problem as before...nerve problems. There is a nerve that goes up through the ribs, through the armpit area into the back of the arm - through the elbow and then to the hand (pinkie). Something is pinching that nerve or irritating it. Some day s are OK - others are really painful. It gets worse when I jump every day. Sometimes it is like there is a knife in my ribs about four inches down from teh armpit on the back. I have gotten used to it but it certainly eats away at my spiritual cushion. I have been seeing a doctor and I still think it is something working out rather than something getting worse. The new strength in my upper body and back is a big help. For now I drink a big can of suckitup and keep moving forward.

I am on the road for a short trip and I get to see my parents for the first time since I started PCP. Not sure what to expect. I will try and enjoy their attention and then divert the topic. I am planning on dressing in beautiful clothes. I will try to get a picture.

Go Team go!
