OK Folks ALL Junies have at LEAST one month since surgery, so we should all be exercising with consistency now...right??? *pointing finger right at myself!*

There are 4 weeks and 2 days in August...

I'll start the challenge off by challenging myself to 600 minutes. This will be tough for me, but it's not really a challenge if I make it easy right???

Thursday is my 39th birthday! I want to be FIT by 40! I have a year to get there and by golly, I'm gonna do this!!!!

ANOTHER 45 MINUTES TODAY. TOTAL OF 680. STEF HOW DID YOUR FILL GO? MINE WAS JUST A LITTLE PAINFUL TODAY, NOT SURE WHY THOUGH. ANYWAY, I HOPE THIS ONE MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Monthly Total = 1380

45 minutes elliptical

45 minutes bike

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My fill is tommorrow, Sweety. For some reason, all day yesterday I was thinking it was Wednesday, so I said my fill was today. OOPS! I'll let you know how it goes. Sorry to hear yours was painful today...I hope it only hurt for a little bit!

Hi Beckiet! It's never to late to join

Sweetie & Stef, I JUST got my second fill on Tuesday. I have a total of 1.3cc's in my 4cc band. It seems to be doing the trick thus far. Should I start rejoicing or is it just swelling from the fill???? I sure hope this did the trick! I won't get another for 5 weeks (at DH's 6 week post-op check). You two are doing great with your challange! I upped mine from 600min's to 750min's but still can't touch you two. You go girls!!!

Well I just got back from having my third fill. She put .6cc in, so now I have a total of 4.6cc's in my 10cc band. Yes, Sweety, mine hurt this time, too! Not a big deal, just like a really bad shot. She said she hit some fibrous tissue she had to push through. So they took all the pics, she put a bandaid on me and I was out the door. I got pics again, of course! This one shows the band MUCH more clearly...you can see where the tube comes off and everything. Unfortunately, you also see my underwire clear as day! LOL I had no idea that the stomach was so high in the body! So that was my morning so far. I haven't tried to eat or drink anything yet, so we will see how this one goes. Have a good day, all...I'm off to work!

MM: sorry it took so long to anwser you about where I hike. I live about 55 miles east of LA cail. I live about 5 mins from the san bernardino mountains thats where I hike most of the time. This whole past week I spent camping in Zion NP in southern utah, where I did alot of hiking. I think zion is my fav place on earth. Here is a pic of a hike called "angels landing" it's a small ridge with 1800ft on one side and 1200ft of the other. I was pretty freaked out up there but it was so much fun.

WOW! That is some gorgeous landscape you have there! I can see why you love it there!

BTW...are those TEVA sandals on your feet? I've got some TEVA Dozer Leathers that I LOVE, but always wondered how they would really hold up out there hiking and how comfortable they would remain? We are going to Vegas in November and have booked several different excursions out in the desert, and I was planning on taking them.
