I am another late comer I didn't see this thread but have been exercising regularly this month. I go to Curves before work Mon-Friday and I was walking for an hour Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat but as of yesterday I started the couch to 5 k program and last nights walk involves short bursts of me attempting to run.. lol

great program c5k - i did it a yr ago & have since realized that running is not my gig. *hate it*

all the best!

I'm going to do Water aerobics again tonight. I've been working reallly hard this week so I pray this weekend when I weigh myself I finally break my plateau and get out of the 190's.

This week:

Monday - helped my friend for 3 hours unload her moving truck that arrived from VA. (Last weekend I helped load it!) Definitely earned points for when we move - if we ever move. :thumbup:

Last night - Went to gym for first time in a month. The guy that checks us in, said, "Welcome back!" Ugg...don't remind me that I'm a slacker, man! C'mon...

I did the random setting on the eliptical and tried to keep a pace between 7.0 and 10. My legs are strong and can keep up at that pace, but my arms are hurting this morning! :thumbup:

Tonight: Probably same routine at the gym, or swimming.

Of course, didn't stop me from running again this morning. Another 3.8 miles today. Tonight is Shoulders/Traps before softball.

AM: Work out with my trainer. I was SORE after.

PM: Swim workout. I think I did 2100 yards! (But I haven't double-checked my math.)

I did 4x100 with a band around my legs too. Last time, my legs ended up at a 90 degree angle! This time... more like 30 degrees. I can tell my core is stronger and that made the difference.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
