Betsyjane - i've always wanted to try tai chi. i wish my gym offered it!! ;)

kity - no need to feel bad, just get up and move... :) even if it is walking up and down your driveway!

josiebies - welcome!! i wish i had the stamina for a 60 min spin class! have fun with it!!! :rose:

today i rocked out on the bike. went on the elliptical for 25 mins (2.5 miles) and then the bike for 28 mins (10 miles). i am still really sore from yesterday. my arms still burn, but that's a good thing, when they heal they'll be stronger!!!

after my 12 1/2 miles, my legs felt like noodles ... :phanvan

have a great week everyone!!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
