February 2014 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! Just updating. I was suppose to have my last evaluation appointment Wednesday, BUT since the chaos with the snow (I live in Georgia), I had to reschedule my appointment twice! My wonderful sweet doctor, whom usually doesn't see patients on Friday, made a special exception and squeezed me in this morning. So this morning I submit my paperwork and keep my fingers, toes, & eyes crossed and hope for the best! So I'll be the late bloomer of the group :-)

Question... have any of you purchased a blender? I was looking into getting a ninja to help with the Protein Powder. I tried shaking some up in a bottle... needless to say the result was less than desirable. My mother insists I should get a Vitamix, but I just don't see myself dropping $600 on a blender. Any suggestions?

I have a ninja and I got the one that came with the big blender and 2 individual cups. When I make my shakes I use the cups. I love the ninja. What part of GA do you live at? I live outside of Columbus and Ft. Benning. My doctor is Albany, GA

That's what I was looking at. I think that's the one I'm going to get. It seems to have the versatility I need. My blender died from Bacardi overdose. Bless my lil Myrtle's soul. She went out like a trooper! ;-) Yes! I'm in Macon. My doctor has an office in Albany. Who do you go to if you don't mind me asking?

Yes! Get you a good one. You don't need to spend $600 but it would be worth it! Spend at least $200. You'll use it a lot for a long time.

Let those be your last set of sad tears. Look forward to the tears of joy you'll have when you reach your goal. Good luck to you on the 14th!

      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.
