DanDanInc 5 #51 January 12, 2013 Quote Keep it up Dan. The difficult time of year has passed and now its spring, summer and then skydiving ! Once you get back in the air your motivation will rocket and so will the weight loss. Blue skies. I completely agree and thank you! However I got my first shin spints running today so I will have to stick to the eliptical for a bit until they heal up. HELLLOOOOOO ICE.Sincerely, Daniel (not as fat as he thinks he is) Adams http://www.skyjump.com http://www.vimeo.com/dandaninc http://www.youtube.com/dandaninc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanDanInc 5 #53 January 12, 2013 Yeah it is!!! So yeah... I was sitting at work last night (I work for Comcast Business Class) and who happens to call into my phone? DAVE DEWOLF! I was like a kid talking to their hero! I fell horrible that I couldn't help him out but it was wicked cool chatting with him. I've always wanted to take his rigging course and rigging is what I've wanted to do in the sport besides skydiving of course.Sincerely, Daniel (not as fat as he thinks he is) Adams http://www.skyjump.com http://www.vimeo.com/dandaninc http://www.youtube.com/dandaninc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanDanInc 5 #54 January 21, 2013 3 days later the cortisone shot I got is turning my life around. My shoulder feels so much better. a few more days and I can start focusing on the gym again. Finally. I didn't think my shoulder would ever stop hurting and I was going to have to live with this pain day to day.Sincerely, Daniel (not as fat as he thinks he is) Adams http://www.skyjump.com http://www.vimeo.com/dandaninc http://www.youtube.com/dandaninc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanDanInc 5 #55 February 25, 2013 Just had surgery last Friday! Haven't lost my resolve just trying to recover so that I can get back in the gym! Still under 250 but not at the magic number of 225 yet. Shoulder pain is still gone which is great!! I WILL GET THERE!

FlyingRhenquest 1 #56 February 25, 2013 Awesome! What's the recovery period before you can get back in the tunnel?I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanDanInc 5 #57 February 26, 2013 I should be ok in about a week. It was a small procedure. HOWEVER... I don't want to get into the tunnel until I'm under 240. I have 4 minutes that I got for christmas that I'm holding onto. I'm using it as a personal goal.Sincerely, Daniel (not as fat as he thinks he is) Adams http://www.skyjump.com http://www.vimeo.com/dandaninc http://www.youtube.com/dandaninc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanDanInc 5 #62 March 18, 2013 Well I'm back down to 244! My shoulder pain is back but it's not too bad so I don't think I will go back for Cortisone yet. (unless it gets worse) they switched my phone times at work which blows since I used to go to the gym during my off phone time and now don't really have time at all. At least I have been eating correctly. I should be under 240 by the begining of April and under 230 by May!!Sincerely, Daniel (not as fat as he thinks he is) Adams http://www.skyjump.com http://www.vimeo.com/dandaninc http://www.youtube.com/dandaninc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanDanInc 5 #72 August 5, 2013 Anytime buddy! If I didn't just get a new house in July than I would be a regular licensed skydiver by now as well but until next season I'm just glad to help! lol I have to say that it felt so much different this time. After the first tandem and my Cat A and Cat B in 2006 I was amped and couldn't sleep for like a week after each jump. Today I feel more relaxed than I have in years. I think about the jump yesterday and my body makes me take a huge breath and I feel more and more relaxed. Definitely an awesome feeling and I can't wait until I start my AFF again.

DanDanInc 5 #73 June 25, 2014 Wasn't resurrecting this thread for no reason... Started working at my local DZ packing tandems this season! Oh and yeah.... I passed my Cat A on 6/8/2014 and my Cat B on 6/14/2014 with only a couple things to work on which I did correct! I truly can't wait to go again and only wish I had more money and more time to jump more but I'm sure that's everyone's wish here! I got some fantastic video of my Cat A which can be found in the link below and the camera was having issues for my Cat B which happens so yeah that one was just for me and my incredible instructors!! I can't wait for my C1 and C2!!! I'm 2 steps closer to my A License! The attachment is my fat ass geared up for my Cat A.
