"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

more video updates ASAP. Please view the new video updates
