Update time.

65 minutes on elliptical

Monday a.m.-35 minute/3.5 mile run

p.m.-Tonight will be upper body workout and about another 35 minutes of cardio.

I've decided I am going to set a goal of running 520 miles either on the treadmill or rode over the course of 2009. I only have to average 10 miles per week.:wink_smile:

Today: This is my first day back to work and I don't know what happened but I feel like I was hit by a truck. I feel the flu coming on and I am really restricted. No exercise. :wink_smile:

5min walk

20min-run

10min-abs (owee!)

I was very tired, no sleep last night and wanted to come home and flop, but I did what I could and felt good about not giving into my excuse!

Monday: 75 min. back/biceps

I'm trying to work on pull-ups & was unable to do even 1/2 of one! So I'm doing the machine assist for a while. What a whimp.

No cardio, felt too tired & weak. Might have been that I wanted to watch The Bachelor & eat carbs. :wub:

I'm doing a 2 days on 1 off schedule but will try to make it today for the cardio I missed yesterday.

I have faith you'll get back at it.

My problem this week so far is that we switched to a new start time of 0700 @ work and that translates to me getting up at 0330 or so to come in to do cardio. By about this time, I'm dragging arse to make it through to the end. It's going to take a couple weeks before I get into this flow.

      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!!
