Am I too fat for Physical?,

Am i the only one loosing weight while on the road !?

 

I am 220 ...but i am 5'18"

 

Is typing questions on keyboard considered physical ?!

 

5'10 and 217 is pretty good for passing the physical. I was 5'8 and 240 when I passed mine a year ago. I ballooned back up to 272 on my last weigh-in a month ago and have actually dropped down to 255 today. Mainly intermittent fasting and cutting out the sweet treats for an entire month. You got this.

 

My husband has lost a little weight since he started, back in March. He's holding steady at about 145 at 5' 10". I hate him sometimes. I kid, I kid!

 

No, and neither is post-slamming a thread.

 

Man, there's got to be some workouts out there that can be done in confined spaces w/ no gear.. bodyweight resistance type stuff. The jump rope suggestion was good. Too many truckers look like hell, heart disease is killin you guys. Got to figure this #### out!
The vacuu-pak prepped foodsaver idea is gold

 

---and so is sitting all day long. I was thinking some today about an old friend that died a bit over a year ago now from a DVT clot.

 

I watched a dude that was part of the incoming class at truck driving school get off the bus that had to be near 500 pounds. The bus rocked when he got off. His legs were purple, not kidding purple like a plum, from the knees down. Reminded me of the Sta-Puff Marshmellow Man. The song " Godzilla " was going through my mind.

I actually uttered omfg.

 

I remember the Matlack Safety Director talk about a guy who was too heavy for the doctor's scale so the weighed him down the street at the feed mill...

I remember when we hired 'Tiny'. Returning from his physical the boss grabbed the form saying I want to see what you weigh you fat XXXX and tiny turned to me and said I got a break, the scale stopped at 380....his wife would bring him to the yard in a dodge omni that made an interesting u turn every morning but never rolled over...

He had an old V8 Mack. those saddle tanks were made to fit either side. He had chains from the cross bar that held the straps at the rear bolted to the un-used bolt holes for the front mount, just in case the strap broke.

Was at one stop, started up the tank ladder to vent the tank when the top cracked bending outward until his feet touched the ground. He had to pay the receiver to shinny up and open the dome lid.
