Today is swim day. I was out there for 90 min and got in 2100! I think that's the most I've ever swam.

Great job MacMadame!:smile2: No way I could swim that far. I still tend to sink rather than float. Just not meant for Water sports I guess.:sneaky:

As for me, got up to fitness ctr @ work yesterday. Both good treadmills were taken at first. Hopped on elliptical for 19 minutes until one opened up. Then, hopped on a treadmill and did 1.5 miles in 12:39 followed by 5 min. cooldown.

This morning, did 2.5 miles on treadmill in 23:30 @ .5% incl. followed by 10 min. cooldown. This afternoon will upper body and a little more cardio.

Keep up the great work everybody!

So......when's the pool party for LBT? That all sounds really good. If you have an outdoor TV, you may just have a "houseguest" from Sept. through Feb. (hopefully):smile2:

Today we did a bike ride. I was so slow I got back after dark which is against the rules. Oops.

But I did 22.5 miles. Too bad it took me 2 hours!

I am going to take you up on that offer one of these days. Maybe come down for a Gnats/Cowboys game so I can cheer the 'Boys on with a real fan and make fun of his wife when she shows her true colors.:blink:

Too tired and had a function for DD's school last night. No workout last night. I'll make it up tonight. This morning, ran 3 miles in 30 min. @ .5%/1%/0 incl.

Did you catch "Build it Bigger" last night on Science Channel. Show was on the Cowboys new stadium. I'm sure you've driven by in a couple times (or should have by now), but that show just made me want to pay the big $$$$ to get down this year. Place is PHE-NOM-E-NAL :crying::tt1:

i get wkly updates from DH who passes by frequently.

they are going to have to do something about the ticket prices however - just not realistic in this economy to shell out $2500 for a family of 4 for a single cowboy game.

jerry jones has built a LOT Of corp suites - and they are still not all taken.

i believe DH records the science channel on tivo - i'll have to go look at it .... it will be a beautiful stadium, home opener is against the gnats:)

today - just called my neighbor, and plan on a slow walk. it's SO nice out this am - and i just need to move. will also do my weight training routine when i get back.

Have to agree with you on the ticket prices. They even mentioned that a couple of times. It is on again at 4 pm this afternoon if he didn't tivo it.

And, it's good to see you calling that NY team by it's real name.:crying:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
