…
So, I BEGAN my MORNING at ~6:05 am with a very SMOOTH, CONTROLLED "Toilet-Trek". "Alliteration aside."(--'Dodgeball') I really feel IMPROVEMENT & more CONFIDENT with/in my "swagger".
ALTHOUGH, "NeuroFit 360"-staff recommends that I LENGTHEN my STRIIIDE/GAIT, instead of taking so many SHORT/CHOPPY steps.
I've TRIED this. But, ALAS, I'm NOT there … YET.
Part of my "MORNING-routine" is that I HAFTA beat "EXPERT"-level Minesweeper … THREE times BEFORE I can "move-ON" to MY "shenanigans".
(TIMES:
368 seconds
384 seconds
312 seconds)
Thus, the AVERAGE-time for my "MENTAL-exercise/-workout" was
(1,064 / 3 =) ~354.67 seconds.
(… In other words, my AVERAGE-win took JUST LESS THAN
six 'minutos'.
In an effort to be more SOCIAL, I "catch-up" on my EMAIL-correspondence.
I "WALKED" to my MANUAL-wheelchair--in my bathroom--to brush my teeth & get-dressed.
THEN, I "WALKED" to my MOTORIZED-wheelchair--in my living-room to begin my "WORKING"-day.
I make EVERYTHING a "MATHEMATICAL-FUNCTION".
((… That's just how I THINK.
E.g. As my # of LEG-workouts at "NeuroFit 360" INCREASES, so will my ENERGY.
THESE EXTRA visits will create more ENDURANCE & CONDITIONING.
Extra STAMINA--eventually--creates MORE MUSCLE & LESS FAT.
Since MUSCULAR-tissue weighs ~2.2 times MORE than FATTY-tissue, the CONVERSION will INCREASE overall-weight.)
… EVIDENCE/PROOF of this (LOGICAL) thinking's CORRECT-ness:
So, YESTERDAY I was so
RELAXED & AT-EASE … AFTER I "STOOD" & "PERFORMED"--yet AGAIN--the HIGHLY-ADVANCED, CALMING Karate-form 'Tensho'.
(… ADMISSION: I couldN'T be COMPLETELY "SOOTHED", 'cuz I HAD TO urinate--at the time of my "STANDING" & "DEMONSTRATING my 'SKILLS'".
In FACT, I kinda FORGOT about my NEED to "SECRETE uric-acid" … 'til I got HOME.)
RANDOM THOUGHTS I was thinking: ('Cuz ALL THOSE "CLOSE to me" (METAPHORICALLY/FIGURATIVELY) are "OUT-of-town")
-- "HOW had the Civil War had gone DIFFERENTLY, if LINCOLN were a ROBOT sent-back from the FUTURE?!""
(--Sheldon Cooper, 'The Big Bang Theory')
-- IF I had the MUTANT-power of an "X-Man", WHAT would it be, … & WHY?
(… For a LONG TIME … PRE-accident, I desired to have the MENTAL/NEUROLOGICAL-prowess of Professor X. NOW, I'm "leaning MORE toward" Wolverine, 'cuz of his RAPID--almost INSTANTANEOUS--ability to SELF-heal.
I watched VARIOUS/ASSORTED films & SPORTS--during my "FEEDINGS" at ~3:00 pm & ~4:00 pm.
(… I've GOTTA give a BIG "THANX" to my "WEEKEND-nurse" for CALLING this morning that she was "gonna be ~20 to 30 minutes LATE".
AAAHHH, COMMUNICATION!)
I WAS "the GATEKEEPER"(--NEO, 'The Matrix Reloaded') of "culinary-BLISS".
(… PRE-accident, I WAS quite an EXTRAORDINARY chef!
What's FASCINATING/REMARKABLE is that EVERY TIME I USED TO COOK, I'd "PREPARE the FOOD" … 'SANS' recipe!
(… SUNDAY is the ONE day that I can organize/"set up" my blog-post FORMAT into a DAILY STEP-by-STEP listing of my DAY's activities.)

I incorporate my ASTOUNDING "grasp"/understanding of PHYSICS to BETTER-accomplish EVERY task/deed I "encounter":

-- I use/utilize/incorporate "PHYSICS" into … ALL … that I DO … and HAVE DONE.
-- Any "aspect"/FACT of "PHYSICS"/"PROPER bodily-MECHANICS" that I MAY have known PRE-accident are REITERATED by the PHENOMENAL staff at "NeuroFit 360".
______________________________________________________________________________
…
I've been making ASTOUNDING PROGRESS/IMPROVEMENTS working out during my THREE workouts PER-week @ "NeuroFit 360":
-- My LEG-flexibility is SLOWLY improving … THANKS to the EXTRA stretching (of BOTH my legs AND arms) that I ALWAYS request from my TRAINERS.
-- My LEFT arm-"RANGE of MOTION" is VASTLY/"VERY MUCH" increasing, PARTIALLY because of UN-expected, NEW exercises SUPPOSEDLY/ADDITIONALLY set to TEST my "TRUNK-control", LEG-/HIP-strength & "'PIGEON-TOE'-inclination".

((--Betty Ross (MY brain) to "Bruce Banner/Hulk" (MY body), 'The Hulk'))
For the first ~FIVE YEARS AFTER my accident, (Sooo, 'til ~LATE-2012) I gained CONSIDERATE FAT-mass (NOT MUSCLE-mass).
In the spring of 2013, my LONGTIME-girlfriend "BROKE-UP" with me. So, being QUITE FORLORN, DISHEVELED & CONFUSED, I COULDD've "EATEN myself FURTHER into a PIT of SORROW & DESPAIR".

… "It's all PHYSICS … & ANGLES." (… AND, VARIOUS sciences)
… --ME
(… I said THIS to my UPPER body trainer after I--PAINFULLY--lifted my (SORE) LEFT arm/shoulder ~45 degrees. … ONE TIME. THEN, I CORRECTED my arm-positioning & lifted that SAME arm//shoulder ~135 degrees … TEN DIFFERENT times.)
(… YAY … to my APPLICATION of my KNOWN MATHEMATICAL-sciences!)
(… TRIGONOMETRY)
… Before I "WALK" to my bathroom each morning, I FIRST lean back SLIGHTLY to swing my body-weight FORWARD & UP.

(… PHYSICS)
… Using MORE "physics", I utilize Sir Isaac Newton's "Second Law of Motion" to determine my NEEDED UPWARD "thrust-force".
"F = M x A"
(… "Force = Mass multiplied by Acceleration")
(… PHYSICS)
… So, I MUST/DO "factor-in" said PRINCIPLE during EACH & EVERY one of my "FOUR (hour-long) workouts PER week".
(… HHHMMM, 4 exercise-hours/168 weekly-hours = 1/42 = ~2.38%)
I "spend" ~2.38% of my TOTAL weekly-time "working-out".
Since I generally/USUALLY sleep from ~midnight to ~6:00 am each night,
(~42/168 = ~1/4) then I spend ~one fourth of my week SLEEPING.
Therefore, I'm EXERCISING for (4/~126) ~31.75% of my AWAKE-time "dispensing HARDCORE kinetic-energy".
(… STATISTICS)
Although it takes me a tad longER to urinate, (NO, sickos! 'Tis NOT a "Urinary Tract Infection". There's a WHOLE big, LONG set-up PROCESS for my "Toilet-Treks") (… "Alliteration aside."--'Dodgeball') I--visually ONLY (… EXCEPT for this ONE time, my urine was A BIT TOO-YELLOW. So, I HAD TO just TASTE a SMALL droplet. … My grade for MY urinary-QUALITY/-PURITY: "ESOTERIC yet PIQUANT."--Stewie, 'Family Guy')
(… BIOLOGY/ANATOMY)
… So, I HAD TO apply my "TRIG-sense" to/in my WORKOUT at "NeuroFit 360" today. INSTEAD of just SITTING on the bench & cycling on the "ARM-bike"--as I was INSTRUCTED, I "STOOD" & applied my KNOWLEDGE of "THRUST" & "ANGULAR-MOMENTUM" to SEMI-create a FANTASTIC workout for my HIPS & LEFT-SHOULDER!

"'LUCK' doesn't exist."
… "'Math & Science' DOES."
(--Walter O'Brien, 'Scorpion')
"SLAVERY" was ABOLISHED (in AMERICA, at least) in 1865.
'Tis 2015 NOW.
Ergo, for the past 150 YEARS, the OVERALL "LIFE-message" has remained CONSTANT:
"We ALL have/possess 'FREE-WILL'."
We EACH "create"/cause our OWN--respective--"PROSPERITY" or "DEMISE".
(… Granted, there ARE IN-frequent, UN-fortunate situations in which one "FALLS" as a "VICTIM of CIRCUMSTANCES"--as I DID, but LIFE tries to LIMIT such instances.)
Thus, we MUST "take the 'BAD' with the 'GOOD'".
"LIFE" is all about "BALANCE".
…
"Use 'The FORCE'."
(--Jedi-Master Yoda, ANY/all 'Star Wars')
…
"Have you ever heard of 'VIETNAM'?"
(--Walter Sobchak, 'The Big Lebowski')
...
“I’m like the f*ckin’ Viet Cong, man, alright? I’m in and I’m out. I was there the whole time. You don’t know it, alright? That’s the f*ckin’ art of becoming somebody who people can pin their beliefs and their dreams on.” – Irving, 'American Hustle'
… I WAS QUITE the TALENTED, DEVOTED/(PREVIOUSLY-)"COMMITTED" (… Pun IN-tended.) 8-year competitive wrestler. Thus, I'm CERTAINLY NOT "USED TO"/COMFORTABLE being "PINNED".
HOWEVER, if ANY of y'ALL wanna "pin" your HOPES, CONFIDENCE & MOTIVATION upon ME, then I'd GLADLY oblige!
You know, sometimes in life, all you have are f*cked up, poisonous choices.”
( – Rosalyn, 'American Hustle')
(… ALAS! ''C'est la vie.'' = 'Such is LIFE.')
So, I watched 'The Shawshank Redemption' for the "UMPTEENTH" time, and it REMINDED me to ALWAYS utilize my SKILLS/TALENTS.
(… "Andy Dufresne" WAS a STELLAR "banker" BEFORE his FALSE imprisonment. Yet, as a prisoner, he CONTINUES his financial-advising.)
(… I WAS a MAGNIFICENT "number-generator" BEFORE my TRAGIC accident. Yet, as an invalid, I CONTINUE my mathematical-BRILLIANCE … via tutoring & account-balancing.)
(… ALSO, I STILL TEACH martial arts.)
… "If you canNOT do GREAT things,
do SMALL things in a GREAT way."
(--Napoleon Hill)
(… Relating to ME, "GREAT" refers to
QUALITY > QUANTITY)

"MOMMAS, … doN'T let your BABIES grow -UP to be … COWBOYS." (… THAT's a SONG.)
…
-- It's "Lazy Sunday 2", 'cuz it's the SECOND Sunday of the month.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diHT867W2Q8
(… Copy & Paste the link onto/into YouTube.)
(… It's a "Digital SHORT" from 'SNL'.)
… In MY particular opinion, "LAZY" has a NEGATIVE-connotation. ODDLY enough, I prefer the word "FATIGUED" … or "EXTREMELY-nonchalant".
… 'Tis NOT that I am AVOIDING "WORK", 'tis SIMPLY that I like to ENJOY my ONE SEMI-day-OFF" by "takin' it EASY".
I like to spend MUCH of my SPARE-time:
-- watchin' one of my MANY dvds OR TV-movies
-- watchin' SPORTS
-- stretchin' my LEGS & LEFT-fingers
-- emailin' FRIENDS
-- Upon my REFLECTIONS on my "martial arts"-TEACHINGS, 'tis 'MUY IMPORTANTE' to note to my students:
WHEN/IF fighting, "REMEMBER: it's NOT the size of the MAN in the FIGHT.
It's the amount of 'FIGHT' in the MAN."
(--Augie, 'Role Models')
(… Of course, I've ALWAYS been a STAUNCH, FIRM believer/example of the belief/theory that
"FINESSE/FLUIDITY > POWER".
MANY of the students are young, SMALL & FEMALE. So, I MIGHT have to follow that with an explanation of the "METAPHORICAL-"/"FIGURATIVE-"sense.)
-- Upon reflecting on OTHER aspects of my LIFE:
1) As MUCH as I WANNA IMPROVE my PHYSICAL-health, I MUST … ALWAYS "give my ALL" in my workoutS & other DAILY-activities. However, my--CONSTANT--"ALL-out"-effort MUST be--somewhat--LIMITED/RESTRICTED to PREVENT further MEDICAL-/PHYSICAL-/HEALTH-damage.
((… 'Por ejemplo': My MAIN-nurse RECOMMENDED that I STOP my DAILY-squats (40-50), in order to NOT "aggravate" my (PREVIOUSLY-) SORE hip.))
2) I CONTINUE to APPLY the LESSONS/TIPS I learn about WEIGHT-SHIFTS, LONG versus SHORT STRIDES & BACK/NECK-POSTURE.
3) I get WAY TOO LONELY at home! Ergo, I HAFTA go-OUT more.
My--CURRENT--housemate helps A LOT with my SOCIABILITY!
(… Whether I go-OUT or invite "peeps" HERE varies, but having a SECOND "communication-outlet" is GREAT!)
4) I've GOTTA "PRESENT myself" WELL … AND mix in (ALOTTA) HUMOR!
(I.e. "CHICKS 'dig me', 'cuz I RARELY wear underwear & when I DO, it's usually something UNUSUAL."
--John, 'Stripes')
