Quick post to stay accountable... sitting here still dripping, fresh from a 30-minute run on the treadmill. Yay, this is feeling good, getting back into the swing of things! Plus, the scale read below 172 this morning.... not sure, but I think that's a first. :D

Yay Tiffy, new babies! Good samaritan you are.

I too did not work out today but that is because I am lame...no really lol I am doing my six mile mountain trek tomorrow and I wanted to be fresh. Plus I just plain wanted to get some stuff done around the house.

Good job all of you that did something for yourself and others today!

Skipped ballet today because I went to listen to this guest speaker, and he was totally amazing, so rather than bail early, I stayed for 2+ hours to listen to the entire thing. Oh well. I'll try to make it to bootcamp tomorrow to compensate, hopefully there'll be room for me there.

It's ok ladies, we all need a day to re-coup. Our bodies need that too. My day off is this upcoming Friday - and I'm really looking forward to it. My muscles have been SCREAMING!! LOL It's ok though, because like I said - when I'm doing my walks... I will lose - and fast. I'm down 3 Lbs in 2 days!! I'm back in the 230's!! Who'd ever think that would be a good thing? Well I haven't seen those since 2008. Im very happy! :D

Well I did not get a chance to get on here last night and post my 20 minute bicycle ride, and today I have a pilates class. First time I have ever been to Pilates, we will see how it goes.

Great job everyone ! ! !

Today, I'm going to focus on my legs, and arms. I woke up to a brisk 31 degrees this morning, and have zero motivation. I'm meeting a friend for lunch, and helping her get a twin mattress for her son so I'll be working out this afternoon. I'll post once I'm done.

I need to do this so badly. I had surgery on Sept. 27, and I think I've been to the gym twice. Maaaaaaybe 3 times. So right now, I'm pledging to get off my ass and work out at least 4 times a week. Starting soon? LOL. No, starting Monday. I know, I should start tomorrow, but then the week is over. And I'm being realistic here. So Monday I'm working out. No excuses.

Hello Ladies! Five days of consistent excercise. Today I plugged in my girlfriends from South Carolina and did some serious cardio and ab work.

Keep going gals!

Hey! 1 1/2 hours cardio at the gym today, yesterday couldn't go so I shoveled snow for 20 min and then pulled my 12 year old daughter in the sledge running in the snow for 1/2 hour, that should count for something i guess!!:D

I'm trying really hard to get motivated. Tomorrow is our squadron Christmas party, and I have a nail appointment, have to go shopping for the mister some new dress clothes, and I just feel blah. It's cold here, and with turning on the heater in the house, I'm stuffed up, my throat is scratchy, and dang it I'm just miserable ! ! !

This is how my "losing mojo" happens every time ! ! ! I'm going to do something today, but not sure when or how much.

Hey I hear ya Tiffy on the cold factor. I really hate it!! I always do much MUCH more in the warmer months. But... do NOT lose that mojo... we just started. ;o) Like chilo said, even if its just 30 minutes. I hope you have fun at your party!!

Fleur I'm so glad to see you! It sounds like you're doing good. :0 I'm going to check on you Monday. LOL

Good going Fit and Chilo!!

Ok, for me all I did yesterday was my 2.25 mile walk. My muscles were screaming for a break so I didn't do anything else for the rest of the day. Its going to be awhile before I can do my 5k a day again!

Today is my scheduled day off. TGGGGG!!!

See you all soon!! xx

I would be a week behind everyone but I would like to be held accountable for getting my exercise in. I'm pre-surgery but I need to get into a routine now. Congrats to all that fulfilled their commitment with week.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
