I spent 40 minutes on the elliptical (?) It was not as fun as running on the track! I don't want to count it as my "new" exercise because I have done it before. Where can I find a wave machine?

Hi all-a quick note, I am home to shower and return to the hospital. My DH is in critical condition in the ICU. He tore his esophagus from part of the stomach and with the blood thinners he has been on since his heart surgery, they did not give us much hope, they had me bring in the family. He has pulled through so far. This happened on Sat. evening. He is still on a ventilator, but the balloons they used to stop the bleed have been removed, and no new bleeding has begun. He has been given over 25 units of blood and countless plasma. He is not out of the woods yet. My world is in shambles. I ask for your prayers. I love this man heart and soul...and cannot face the thoughts that crowd me in the dark. Please keep him in your prayers. I will update you when I can.

Kat

I just wanted to share that I met a personal goal tonight!

I started actually running (with a super-duper jog bra) mid-September when I joined the challenge. I could only run about 1/8 mile before I needed to walk a bit. It has become much easier and enjoyable as I have stuck with it and pushed myself.

Tonight I jogged three miles in 36 minutes!!! (Three miles was my goal, but didn't expect to get there so fast.)

After I finished, I had planned to go home, but thought of Kat's situation. So, Kat...I ran another 1/2 mile for you. I hope your husband is getting stronger and healing. Hugs and prayers!

You ROCK Boo! Way to go.

I'd love more info on the brand of sports bra you've found to be helpful. I find that when I run (one minute at a time -- I'm a little behind you in cardio strenght!), I have to hold the tail of my t-shirt to keep the girls from taking flight.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
