Ceradad

Welcome back Ebony! My dr. simply told me to wait 2 wks post surgery before I could start lifting again. Then, start off light and work my way up. No ab work for 4 wks though. Really didn't have a problem with that though:mellow:

marthie, not so much as a challenge, but more accountability to each other. We come on here and post what we are doing day to day and week to week for exercise. Just a way of keeping up with the others. Welcome and get ready for the fun.

I have never actually PB'ed. I've only gotten "stuck" twice and both times lasted for less than 5 minutes. But, it hurt enough to make me not want it to happen again.:thumbup:

You know, I don't think I've had a margarita since my surgery. Love them, only has to be on the rocks. Blended is a little too girly for my tastes.:thumbup: Also, has to be regular, no foo foo flavors. So, question is, do you drink it on the rocks or blended? If it is blended, maybe there is something with the volume causing troubles. I drink chocolate milk from time to time and have no troubles with it. Not sure on that front.

I guess you could say mine is still in the spare tire area. Still have one, only now it is one of those "donut" ones you are only supposed to drive on for like 50 miles.:thumbup:

Seems I have a target on my back.....or front.......or wherever my bf is located.:thumbup:

I do this as well. Not just in weight loss either. When I sense things are going good, I tend to sabotage it somehow. I have backslid a little lately as well on the weight loss. I have started to get back into old habits of eating past satisfied and eating snacks when I KNOW I'm not hungry. I broke down and called the PA for a fill. Can't get in for another couple of weeks, but I am going to buckle down and get back into the right way of thinking. Susan, don't beat yourself up. You are only human. You recognize things aren't as they are supposed to be. That is the first step. You know how to fix the problem, that is important. Good luck.

Start of a new month and start of a new exercise challenge. How about getting some more new faces involved? I started off things right. In the work gym @ 0440 for 33 minutes on treadmill, including 5k run in just under 29 minutes. Into the real gym tonight for upper body and a little more cardio. LET'S GET IT ON!:thumbup:

I can neither confirm or deny. Plus, I plead the fifth.......of tequila.:blushing:

:blushing::cursing::confused::scared2:

Yup, they will do that to you.:cursing: sms-I always thought it was the duty belt that people loved so much.:blushing:

I'm sorry.:cursing:

Brainwaves? What are brainwaves? Must be a normal person thing.

Really. If you were to spend one day listening to actual conversations, your chemicals wouldn't touch the greys. Anywhere.:tt2: I don't even tell DW most of the things I hear each day. The conversations run that gammut.:blushing::crying::scared2::cursing::eek::cursing::confused:

You got to get alot more gross than that to scare me off. You can't hang out with cops and not get used to some sick sh*t.

You're right, fantasy is usually better than reality.:wink2:

OP is correct in one aspect. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can curtail weightloss efforts. However, I feel they took it to an extreme by assuming that staying in bed and losing the weight are healthy. Most people, me included, are assuming that the weight lost came from losing the muscle gained after working out for awhile with a personal trainer.

Oh, it's me. Just really small.:thumbup:

Can't keep a....ahem....good man out forever. :wink2: Can never have too much football. Only drawback is there are no Cowboys playing tomorrow. I can't even cheer for the Gnats opponents as the Redskins are tied with my 'Boys.:thumbup:

Wow, I'm motivating women for the first time. Good thing they can't see what I actually look like.:thumbup:

Might want to keep dreamin, cuz I am nowhere near that shape. :thumbup:

Didn't think about the blood clots. Makes sense though. Any time you lay in bed and do not move around, you are just inviting them into your life. Not good.

Btw, you said here yourself, you told her to stay in bed. Not her dr. Now, if you missed that point from her dr, that is one thing. However, do not accuse me of not reading your post thoroughly.

Not to be an a$$, as I know I can be at times, but how is being on crutches putting pressure on your leg. I've had plenty of knee injuries due to sports. Including having both knees scoped, right twice left once. I've never, ever, been told to stay in bed the whole time. Not sure why they would tell her to stay off crutches and not to do anything at all.

So get off your lazy arse and get in there.:cursing: :sad::)
