Treadmills- who actually uses them?



Recommended Posts

Ha! Between the two of us' date=' my husband and I are expecting number ten (seventh daughter, though, oy!). Everyone says the same thing. My husband always says,

"You know, when I was young they told me to find something I'm good at and enjoy, and do that for the rest of my life..."

He took that advice seriously. :)

Honesty...after the fourth kid? It's not so hard to adapt to one or two (or three or four) more.

Wow! Do they all live with you?

Yeah. I used to say that. We met our personal limit with 6. It's snipped an clipped. Love my blessings but god can bless someone else now, thanks. :)

Ha! No, I have five stepkids. One is married and already has a son and one is out on her own exploring the world. The other three from his first marriage still live with their mom.

Eh, my hubs was snipped and clipped but then he met me and we decided to have bonus babies. :)

Clearly, our situation was exceptional. I mean, you just can't keep awesome genes like that to yourself. You've got to share them with the world.

The world isn't as appreciative as I thought it'd be, though. Especially when we've got the whole crew together in a restaurant or store at the same time.

Actually, the comments all make me laugh. Except the ones that try to ask me what religion I am, as if wanting a large family requires a religious affiliation. Oh, and one time I was mistaken for my husband's oldest daughter. That was kind of creepy/flattering...I mean, she's 22 and it would be nice to believe I could pass for less than thirty. But as his daughter? Ugh, heebie jeebies.

I make a huge batch at a time....a blender full. But I only drink 12oz and the rest goes in the fridge for later. I would not recommend my recipe to anyone who is still struggling to get in their Protein. If you are, then stick with straight Protein shakes. My recipe has a lot of healthy carbs as well as Protein, but I'm far enough along that it's not difficult for me to hit my protein numbers.

Yea, I am using bits and pieces only vegies and run through a juicer, I add some top leaves from cilantro and a brocolli flouret minus stemy parts in a nutri bullet, chunk onion actually too, about 3/4 to a cup. I drink part and refridgerate too, But I'll tell you it seems to add to the fat burn to have one a day for now. works for my stomach best now with out much fiberous parts.

I am looking at new equipment and a nice high speed blender that will process green/seeds/etc.. and or also a very expensice juicer I have to make up my mind if and when to purchase them but youch ! they cost a bunch.

Protein Drink is a scoop light Protein powder, Water !, 1/4 tspn.s spirullina, turmeric. macca powders. sometimes add the cacoa bliss less than 1/2tspn. and dash of milk, it is fat but tastes like chocolate with a little agave too, just drops though for this. Sames sizes, look at it like my meal as a combo mornings.I am adding snack times at this point so I get some protein then between this and lunch.

I use the treadmill every day at the gym, it's so much better than outside walking, I don't have to constantly keep watching the ground to make sure my ankles don't twist. I love my gym!

      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!

      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!!
