renewedhope

He just went to sleep. the other scary part of this is the staff exposure in our house and my surgery in 11 days. We are all being very careful with handwashing, etc. If I get staph I will have to postpone my surgery. YIKES!!

Today has been a tough day. My almost 2 year old has a systemic staph infection. We were in the ER last night. He is running high fever, and the doctor lanced, drained and packed a lesion on his bottom today. He has 15 - 20 satalite lesions on his body. They are not open, just little red bumps that we are praying will heal and not open up. His white blood count is 18,000 which is too high. My attention has definately shifted from my surgery to my little guy today. He seems to feel a little better tonight.

I didn't run yesterday either. I was SOO discusted after watching the Cowboys. That game was aweful.... Anyway, DS is sick and we had to go to the ER last night. He has a systemic staph infection and cellulitis of his bottom. Poor little guy. He is pretty miserable. Planning to run 3 miles today. It may have to be on the treadmill.

You are getting so close. Are you feeling better about your decision to do this?? I can't wait to see your awesome results.

OK, how have I missed this thread. I am following Luluc and Georgia around. LOL Starting today I will be posting my food with you guys!!

what a great way to celebrate the past year , Luluc. Sounds like that walk really shows how far you have come in 1 short year. It's not just about scales, but health, and feeling alive. You have done it all!! Kudos to you!!!!

I took yesterday off, but plan to run 3 miles today. we are going to our land to ride 4 wheelers so I will run when we get home (after I watch the cowboys!!)

Numbr - I didn't start at 29:20. Keep at it!! You will get there! I never thought I would be running. Now I'm addicted!!

Today I took the day off.

I'm staying on plan because the scales are finally moving in my favor and it's because I have stayed on plan.

Silly Goose, I quite smoking about a month before being banded. It is one of the hardest things ever. Congrats to you!!! Keep it up!! Your body and your pocketbook will thank you!

One more down. yeah, my scales are moving again. It's a love/hate relationship with low carb. NAME .............START WEIGHT .....CURRENT...........

well, I didn't run the 10K. My legs still felt really tired this morning and Dh didn't want me to run it. He is always very supportive but gets a little frustrated when I don't listen to his opinions. He said that since I had run 16 miles in the last 3 days and that is new for me that I needed to let my body rest. He also said that my body is telling me to give it a rest and that if I don't I could end up injuring myself. Ok, I know he is right so I complied. I definately don't want to be so stubborn as to injure myself. BTW, speaking of DH. I went to the track and ran last night. It was so mich outside. I went a little late and it got dark. Apparently DH called my cell phone but I didn't hear it runging. I was 10 minutes late. He came to the track in a panic looking for me. He was afraid I had been abducted. Bless his little heart. He was really scared. I am used to him working late and doing my own thing. I have never seen such a protective side of him. He wants me to start carrying a hand gun to run. LOL I told him it would weigh me down too much.

I started on the treadmill, and now I run outside if I have the option. Ok, I can't o to sleep. I am so thirsty. I am drinking lots of water and then going to bed. My legs feel like they each weigh a ton. I sure wish I knew about this run tommorow. I certainly would not have run 16 miles in the last 3 days. I am going to see how sore I am in the morning and decide for sure whether or not to go. I am hoping that lots of water and a good nights sleep will help to feel more rested. 10K is 6.2 miles and I did 6 tonight, so I know I can do it. I walked the last mile but I even think i can run the whole thing if my muscles in my legs are no too fatigued. We'll see in the morning.

Glad you are home and resting.

I really wanted to run one more race before my surgery, but didn't know of any around here. Well, I just found out that there is a 10k about 20 miles from here tommorow. It is called the Tator Trot. Anyway, I have never run a 10K before but why not. In true Renewed fashion I am running a 10K in the morning. Wish me well. I have run 5 miles each of the last 3 days so my body is a bit fatigued, but I can do. I am going to bed now so I can be well rested for my newly found race. and the entry fee is only $7. WooHoo. Goodnight my LITE friends.

Whosya, I'm not even gonna comment, except to say that you better quit takin pictures in get to running. I just finished a 6 mile run tonight. :smile2: Kathy, Tell DH happy birthday!! Sounds like yall had a great day. Way to go on the run. Georgia, Hope you are feeling better soon. Leslie, So glad you are working out!! How did the Dr visit go??

Leslie, I am so proud of you for getting back at it. Sticking with it when things are tough show true determination. You hang in there. You are doing awesome. 6 miles today. I am pooped. My 5 mile time was 49 minutes. I walked the 6th mile. That's 16 miles in 3 days. My legs feel like led. I hope to take tommorow off, but if I know me, I will run again.

So, you should be off work or about to get off. have you survived your first day back. Just checking on you!!

Fianlly another pound. Hopefully there are more to come. ******NAME**********START WGHT****CURRENT WGHT*******GOAL********LBS.

Welcome Turler. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I am with Georgia jut jump in there and do it. It is hard in the beginning and then you end up running like you never dreamed you could. However, know that if you aren't running you are still welcome here. This has become a sanctuary of support for me. I felt better last night. I drank a cup of coffee after my last post then slept well. I've had coffee this morning and did fine. I still can tell my band is tighter, but that is a good thing. I didn't have a lot of restriction before now. So, if it was my run then that's just another benefit of running. I just have to adjust my eating. It really was weird though, because I only ate meat and not even a lot of it. I don't thnk I chewed it well enough or ate it slow enough. I will be more careful today. We have homeschool coop today so I won't beback on until tonight. Everyone have a Great day!! Btw, Kathy, your kiddos are beautiful. You are right, you daughter does look lie you. That is pretty cool. God has a geat sense of humor.

I think it is the purple girl that has me up in arms as well. When she blew Jililan a kiss I just couldn't believe it. Look at the opportunity these people have. And the way her mom whines about everything. get over it already and jsut do the work or go home!!! You knew what you were getting into when you signed up. So, put on your big girl panties and do it or GO HOME!!! When they were all on the treadmill telling her that they didn't do their homework, they just didn't sem to care. Pissed me off. I think i like Heba too. I like the red people too and the yellow girl is ok. I can't stand the purple people, incase you can't tell. Other than that I don't know.

DS and I went out for chinese tonight. I am really trying to do well on low carb so I ate meat only. No rice at all, and not much meat. I have been throwing up ever since. Chinese food is usually not hard for me to get down, and I haven't had great restriction lately. I am wondering if my long runs the last 2 days have caused my band to be a little tighter. I am a little worried about throwing it up though. Not real throw up. It is still undigested, but my body is "wretching" to get it out. I so don't want any band complications this close to ps, or ever for that matter. No more chinese for me. I hope this goes away soon. It is much better right now. Nothing has come up in about 10 minutes, but I still feel like it's right there.. Ok, Iknow, TMI, but who else do I tell all this to.

Way to go leslie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock!!!!!!

Something tells me that they knew what was expected of them before they went.
