excersize thread -- gardening



Recommended Posts

In my ongoing series on differnt types excersize as part of a healthy lifestyle, today we are going to explore gardening.

These are the reasons why gardening and yard work is the best excersize:

No gym fees

the guys/chicks think you are hot

you build endurance

you engage in strength training when you prune your laural hedge of doom, or shlep bags of soil or compost

you get to learn about botany

you become an expert in insects, what are benificial, and what are harmful

you get to increase the property value of your home and neighborhood

fresh cut flowers whenever you want them

you get plenty of sun and Vitamin D

you get to make mud pies

you get to create many things of beauty and serenity

croquett in the summer

fun yard ornaments and toys

cool tools, so you too will own and know the best use for at least 3 different types of hoes, shovels and picks, as well as a variety of power and electric tools

You get to own a pitch fork, just in case.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
