  • Day 8: Ready for the day. Going to get a run in. Doing high knees now to warm up.
  • The small things that get me excited: Being able to get up and get a run in without aches and pains.👟:rolleyes:

Day 8: The small things that get me excited - going on a walk and NOT feeling my thighs rub together. They still touch, but there's no chafing. Win!

Small things that make me happy:

Clean sheets, exact change, polite people, finding the perfect underwear, a new easy recipe, finishing the laundry and having all the socks accounted for. Today it’s remembering I have awesome leftovers in the fridge waiting for me! Those are just a few I thought of off the top of my head.

I haven’t decided what I’m going to do to workout today. I wish I had someone to play tennis with, I feel like being outside. I will probably go to the gym late afternoon after putzing around the yard. I haven’t done high knees in years, wish me luck!

@DeeberLee I haven’t got the courage to run, good for you!

Catching up:

7. Did mountain climbers and one of the things I learned this week is that I LOVE Paris tea!

8. Did high steps and little things that get me excited is seeing my dogs happy, listening to my cats purr, a freshly clean house, my lawn mowed and plants planted, and a zillion things! :)

Nearly forgot the B-side: I want to go back to Peru to go to Cusco and Machu Pichu. I want to go back to England and Scotland to visit old haunts and find new ones. I'd like to go to Paris and Italy. In winter, I long for warm seas and sunny beaches.

My favorite quote is, " Always do what you're afraid to do." I have this posted practically everywhere in the house! I don't have my weight to "hide" behind anymore. So I'm making myself do things that I've never had the courage to do before.

#9. Identify sources of pain. I’m guessing they mean emotional pain. I’ll keep it simple. Feeling alone and realizing I believe I deserve less.

If we are referring to physical pain, then it’s my feet.

Lunges today, if anyone has tips on how to do them in a less awkward fashion, please let me know.

9. Happy sunny day! Um, right now my pain is in my butt muscles. (Laughing at myself just now as I discovered the reading glasses I was looking for tucked in my t-shirt.) I don't seem be able to identify any other pain right now except for the anxiety regarding my mother's impending visit and my housekeeping skills. Sigh. I have to finish mowing the lawn, do some more cleaning, and somewhere in there, I'll do the lunges. Right now though, outside beckons.

Yah one of those home shopping networks with a courtesy card. I owed them a small amount, missed a payment and now they keep adding a service charge. I am more than willing to remit the small amount owed not the hundreds they are trying to " Highway Rob" from me! I am a fair person,they are not! Curses on you, Comedity!

Source of my pain? I have been so sluggish and sleepy the last couple of weeks. Diet, low Iron, or my cats waking me up in the middle of the night to beg for pets and treats? Probably all of the above. I'm getting blood tests in a couple of weeks but in the meantime I'm trying to get more Protein and B Vitamins (for some reason I have just not been in a meat mood lately) and I need to kick those little assholes out of my bedroom at night. :P

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
