Responsibility 199, what is it?

Responsibility 199 is a belief; I believe that to be healthy and to increase my longevity I need to weigh 199 pounds or less...
Responsibility 199 is a need; I need to reduce my weight, reduce my percentage of body fat, and the elevated threat of disease my present condition presents...
Responsibility 199 is a mission; I recognize that achieving 199 will be a challenge, perhaps the hardest I have ever undertaken...
Responsibility 199 is a commitment; I acknowledge that I must commit to action, commit to change, commit to myself and those I love to achieve this mission, to increase my longevity...
Responsibility 199 is ME.

Day 357 - I Am The Worst On The Planet?


source
 Yesterday I went to the physical therapist for my knee/hip pain. First time ever with a physical therapist if I remember correctly. So I went with an open mind, a bit skeptical to be honest as to just what I'd get out of it. After two hours I left beaten down and if I am not mistaken, violated!

After an initial evaluation, she told me I have the worst flexibility on the planet. Yes, she said "worst" and she said "planet". Ok, I know I don't really know my head from my butt when it comes to proper stretching, but, I am the worst on the planet?

That means the likes of Jack Black, Drew Carey, and Larry the Cable Guy have better flexibility than me? Oh I refuse to believe that.

She then put me through a battery of stretching exercises to work on the iliotibial band which is the source of my pain, and my over all flexibility which is the source of my planetary status. I held my own just fine, worst on the planet my butt.

Now, speaking of butt, when the stretching was done it was time for a heated ultrasound massage. Ok, sure, why not. The target area was my hip. But she had me drop my sweat pants far enough I was a good 75% bare-butt.

Between the warming gel and the vibration of whatever she was working me over with, I soon forgot what I was there for. And then when that was done, she tells me were about to get a little rough. Usually I have to spend money on a good meal and a bad movie to get that kind of action.

In the end I walked out of there worn out in more ways than one. I'll be going back to see her a couple of times for the next three weeks for more 'therapy'.


Yesterdays puzzle, Tish again was first to join in with the correct answer. She is the puzzle-master!

Have a great weekend!
