Hey everyone,

It's a new month so I started a new thread!!!!! Have a great month of exercise!!

Had a good work out today. I'm down another pound! YEAH! I've got a head cold and am a little worried, because I can't have surgery if I'm sick! Anyone have any good suggestions for speeding this cold along? I'm taking Cold MD and EmergenC.

Zinc and Echinacea lozenges always worked for me...knocks out a cold quick, but they are hard to find in one lozenge. Sometimes you have to buy them separately and I know Walgreens has both of them.

DADDY - That is so funny about you getting five inches of snow and no one blinks. If anyone sees even ONE FLAKE here, you'd think the sky was falling! Oh and don't let the news report a half of one percent chance of snow...there won't be a bottle of water on any grocery store shelf in the state! :thumbup: (I exaggerate, but not by much! LOL)

Too funny about the hot hairdresser! Yes, you ARE bad! That's why we love you so much!

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

Good workout today...shoulders. An hour and a half. I'm really CONCENTRATING on my form and taking both directions of the movement very slow and controlled. Felt great! Still babying myself a little after the injury, but it's getting better. I just don't want to get too comfortable too soon, so I'm really monitoring how I feel throughout all movements.

I hope everyone has a FANTABULOUS weekend! I may be going to a Mavericks game on Sunday...we haven't decided yet. Tomorrow is for being a bum! I may not get out of my flannels!

Question to anyone,

I had lapband in Dec07 and about 2wks ago I joined a gym. My question is---Is it safe to excercises for the tummy and waist on the weight machines. I do everything else but for some reason afraid to do that. Help

I would think so smwww. Of course always check with your doc.

I know even 6 months after my surg my port can get agraivated when i lay a certain way so be careful.
