WARNING, BRAGGING AHEAD

So last week was a week of vacation. I goofed off, did SOME walking but skipped my usual swims. So Monday I returned to the pool, swam 120 laps (1.8 miles) in an hour, went home got the bicycle out and went out on a short 5 mile bike ride. Would of gone 10 but the sun was setting and I was getting cool. Came home and finished by 4th set of 20 bicep curls and back of the head lifts for the day. I do them at each meal and before bed. Today I'm a tad sore, not too bad, just a little bit. Gee, I wonder why?

After 1 year 4 months out I have TOTALLY reinvented myself. A workout less than HALF that intense a little over a year ago and I would of been wheezing and panting begging to stop. Today I barely get out of breath and feel pretty dang good over all.

If you are at all considering doing the sleeve all I can say is DO IT! It has saved and RADICALLY CHANGED MY LIFE. While I don't look as good as those BowFlex guys "I am 51 years old and in the best shape of my life". It's been TOTALLY worth it.

Nice! I love it!

Yes, I used to brag how I always won: watermelon, pie, corn ... eating contests.

Not anymore. Now it's my race times. Change is good. But things only change, if you change.

I love how you guys have become exercise people! I still talk myself out of going to the gym and also calling and scheduling my personal trainer. Tomorrow morning I will have to just go without any lame excuses coming from my thoughts. LOL Rock on Rootmen and PDxman, I am totally encouraged by you both when I read your posts. You guys give great feedback to others! PDXman, keep running the marathons! Your doing great. Love the new energy!

Nice job!

^{Rock on with yo' bad self!! I love exercise, too - always have. Food has always been my downfall, but not anymore! Can't wait until my surgeon clears me for exercise other than walking. Even at 270 lbs. I was in the gym about 5 times a week! Keep up the great work!}
