I know - Austin gets this kind of weather every 10 years or so!! Ice, sleet, snow & rain. I live in the hill country so driving is out of the question. The whole city shuts down because they are unable to deal with this sort of thing...

including the weekend and MLK my kids will be out 5 days!:help:

Creating an Effective Home Workout

By Greg Shealey, M.S.

One way to stay in shape when you have a tight time schedule, but certainty not the only method, is to create an at-home circuit training routine. A good circuit training routine has various combinations of exercises and can be performed when access to equipment is limited. For the person with a busy schedule and limited workout equipment, circuit training can be performed in very little time. A good circuit training routine encompasses several types of exercises such as weight training, flexibility, aerobics and calisthenics, just to name few. An effective circuit training routine is designed with several different types of exercises. Most circuit training routines consist of seven to 12 different exercises. As you begin working out, each exercise must be designed so that you can move quickly from one exercise to another. Each exercise should be designated to developing a specific area of your body. For example, exercise 1 may be lateral arm raises for the shoulder muscles (utilizing small hand weights); exercise 2, push-ups for chest development; and exercise 3 will be leg lunges to build up the quadriceps in the legs. Between each exercise, you may perform 30 seconds of jumping jacks or aerobic steps to maximize a continuous flow. Over time you can add or change exercises to meet your specific needs. The goal is to maintain a flow of muscular endurance activities. Although circuit training is mainly for muscular endurance, if a continuous workload is maintained, the workout benefits may transfer over into cardiovascular development.

Depending on time and your fitness ability, a circuit training routine can be performed in as little as 25 minutes. When time permits, you can always increase the duration and/or intensity of your workout for further development. Some other good choices of at-home exercise routines include yoga, aerobics and tai chi.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
