Whoseya and Ceradad: You guys are awesome. Great goals! I'm just limping along (literally with my bad knee) and trying to get back to my previous exercise level and then maybe I'll sent some harder goals. Way to go!

Walked 2 miles today with my friend. Worked with my trainer for an hour. I was able to do reverse lunges with 50 pounds and squats with 50 pounds dead weight. Today I almost felt that I might get back to my former self! It sure is a struggle after surgery and a big break!

Goodness, where do I start? Everyone is really rocking it this month -- AWESOME job all :P:thumbup::party:!!!

Daddy congrats on finishing your first tri and good luck on your upcoming tri, Ceradad!

Jody, Tess, and Florida Girl, welcome to the thread! So great to have you here!!!!

I got another session of Couch to 5K in this evening, but I sort of made up my own variation of week 5. I won't bore you with the details as they are more pertinent to the Couch to 5K thread, where I did post the details.

Well, I will be taking a little time off from exercising, but I hope to be back with short walks ASAP, perhaps even as soon as next week.

Talk to everyone soon, and keep rockin' :party::thumbup::party:!!!

Wow - how big is that L A W N? :P

I love to mow lawns, but I own a condo - maybe I need to do this in the summer for people just for the exercise of it.

its pretty big but i think the weather was why i burned so much it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot i was sweating up a rainstorm. Plus the grass was really tall and i had to go over several spots more than once, plus the lawn mower didnt want to start so i had to try to start it for 20 minutes plus it's a push lawnmower and heavy LOL

Last night I did my upper body circuits times 9 reps. Then, hopped on the treadmill and ran 1 mile in 9:30 just to keep the blood moving. Figuring if I run after I tire myself out, that can only increase my endurance.

This morning was back on elliptical for 60 minutes of interval training. Tonight is lower body workout.

      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!!
