A good hurt...



Recommended Posts

My butt it's aching something awful today! But I'll take it in stride because yesterday I rode my bike for the first time in about 2 years, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I remember it was last time I rode it. We did about 4 miles too.

Best of all, I was able to keep a promise to my son that we'd ride together once I was healed from surgery.

@@dhrguru that's great ! I bet you both had a smile on your face during the bike ride. How about getting him to set goals along the way for you and that way he will be supportive and keep you on track.

Bike ride now:

1 month: a new outfit for you and a treat for him.

2 months: a hike

3 months: go swimming

4 months: and so on :D

How old is he?

Awesome!!

I'm going to bring my bike out this week. My butt is going to hurt, we will be pain in the butt friends ;)

Tomorrow I'm going to buy some pants so that I can ride the bike in rain. No excuses! Need to exercise.

He loves planning stuff for us to do. He's 10. Actually, we're going swimming today. But hiking is a good one, thanks!!

I, too, took a nice bike ride yesterday. Filled up the tires and off I went????

My ass is also sore and my quads. But in a good way.... I needed it.

I've got to work on 5 lbs off this month... I have faith it will go. It is just slow since I am close to goal. I just relaxed and drank at my youngest sons wedding last week. Worth every bit!

This week is on spot!!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
