ha, don't think that one is possible.

actually DH and all his cowboy loving buds are pulling for NY - they hate the eagles much, much more.

Just don't think I can pull for either team. Think I'll pull for the underdog of AZ to go all the way.:thumbup:

I had a rest day. My triceps were happy but my quads are still killing me. I think I may have to go to two rest days a week. :wub:

I don't think there is anything wrong with two rest days per week. No matter how hard I try to go beyond 5-days of exercise, I get physically drained and just cannot do it. So now, I gladly do 5-days EX and 2-days off.

Anyway, I think your doing great!!!!:tongue2:

I ran 2 miles yesterday and rested today. In all I ran/walked 40 miles in the past week. My body was screaming for a break today so I gave in.

Ok! Thanks guys! This is what I need!

I did work out that day too. I did the biggest loser work out on Exercise TV. Man, my legs are killing me!!! TOO many lunges!!! I only did about 10 mins.

I'll try to get something in today too. :thumbdown:

      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!!
