About the rule or the time?

I get the rule....I know I'm still not doing it completely correctly and they don't want us to teach bad habits or misrepresent the sport.

About the time. Sure.

If it's raining, though, let's postpone it. i think doing it standing by the lake would be the right mood.... Wear old shoes.....

Barbara-I haven't heard from Lana. Maybe it's not a good time with her building schedule. Let's go ahead and cancel Tai Chi tomorrow morning. Maybe there will be a better time later.....

OK I'll go to curves instead. I'm so overscheduling myself. I need to get a grip. ;) Work is hectic, anticipation of Dick's surgery, Tai Chi, Curves, leaving me weary. Before I could juggle everything, but since CFS not so.

Have a great mother's day weekend everyone.

Been out all day. It seems like it wasn't the right thing to do, trying to practice together and you are right, I am busy with the house. I better go back to plan A and wait till next month.

I was thinking the same thing. I get tired so easily with Lupus. I've been trying to sort out priorities. I know exercise is one priority, and right now I'm liking Tai Chi...but I'm wondering if I might be better off doing the rest of my exercise at home so I can fit it in in a moment's notice. Not sure if that's the rational me talking or the part of me that wants to blow off exercise. Thinking I might keep my gym membership but see if I can do it at home.....

But call me even at the last minute if you ever feel like taking a walk.....

Suzanne-it's called off, but you certainly would have been welcome. How is it that we get so busy that health comes last? Guess that's part of how we got into this pickle.....

I have a off the wall question.

Do you ladies hate to pack for a trip out of town or is it just me? I hate hate hate it. I try to take everything and end up only wearing about half.

Have a great weekend.

Bikergrammy, I feel your pain. I pack way to much. And now that I'm between sizes, I'll probably pack twice as much. I've got to pack for my son's wedding and I dread dread dread the packing process. Have a great trip!

Betsy remember that with Lupus exercise helps. You don't have to overextend yourself, but some exercise makes a difference. I have been so tired and I really have felt it since Tai Chi. It's a different kind of tired so I'm going to continue for my month. I'll reassess after that. I'm going to continue going to curves, but if I don't make it 3 times a week so what. At least I'm trying. ;)

Packing is such a job. I put it out and then pack half of what I planned. I try to go with a color scheme so I don't take too much. It doesn't always work.

Yeah, but exercise with Lupus also gives me a high fever and puts me in bed for awhile. Happens every time.

I'm a great packer. I always go with some wrinkle proof separates that all go together, usually in navy and cream, rolled up so they don't take up much room, and then whatever special event outfit....

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
