"Triceps and More
Triceps"
By,

Dear
Smurf,
While finishing my 6th month at the
program, I am starting to realize that in order for me to go
faster, further, and do it in a short period of time-my tricep
workouts are going to have to become my new best friend.
Although my number one goal is to rid myself of this wheelchair
and live a functional lifestyle, it will never happen unless I
first conquer this wheelchair and learn to live functionally in
it. In order for me to get up small hills, bumps, or wheel
on carpet-I must build my core stomach muscles and my tricep
muscles. To do this, I must wheel myself everywhere I go
(in and outside the gym). Because of this, it has made it
a very frustrating month. After talking with Mr.
Weber, he explained that I cannot get frustrated easily because
all that is doing is teaching my body to shut down when meeting
new challenges. I cannot get to the next level if I keep
this up. I have to be mindful of my emotions and keep a
cool head if I want to reach my goals.
Since it has been six months, I
have decided to do a recap of my accomplishments. I have
rid myself of my electric wheelchair and I am knob free on my
manual wheelchair. I can now fully feed myself and wheel
over small bumps, carpets and small inclines. I no longer have
blood pressure issues while standing up, and have gotten
completely off all medications. Most important, I
have gotten mentally stronger since I have started this
program.
I also want to take this time
and congratulate Tucker Fife on standing up and taking his first
steps without leg braces on. What a true inspiration it is
to watch Tucker achieve his goals.
Another person I want to
congratulate is Julie for doing such an exceptional job in such
a short period of time. I really am amazed at the progress
one person can make when they set their mind to it.
I want to take this
moment to thank each and every one of you again for the support
and prayers while I am on this journey. I made a personal
decision to use my website as a medium to keep all informed on
my progress. This is the best way for me to communicate with all
of you and not forget anyone person. Please take a moment if you
have not yet done so and sign up for my emails and video updates
