Gym is open (Monday)

Just hear long enough to open the gym. I ate some chicken that isn't sitting very well. I will be back later to check on you guys. Tell me what you did today to work your muscles. Seven

Did you chew some papaya enzyme? I went to the gym after two days off (except for dancing on Saturday) and hit the treadmill. Did my requisite 2 mile run. Tomorrow will be a warm-up at the gym and some upper body weight work and some ab work. Not supposed to do alot since I had my thyroid biopsy today but I won't overdo. Kathy

I've never tried papaya enzyme before. I truly didn't have much time to try anything. You take it easy! Better to have a light workout today than no workout for a week! Take care of yourself! How long do you have to wait for the results of your biopsy? Seven

I'm sure if it is "something" the good doc will call me. But I'm not expecting it to be anything but benign. I'm supposed to meet with him next Monday for the results. My post-op WLS surgeon wants to do my parathyroid surgery. (He didn't do my WLS - that doctor moved to the other coast.) I was teasing him today at my appointment. "Oh, so you want to operate on me again, do you?" He was laughing. He did my gallbladder surgery and is a fine surgeon and very thorough. So I'm in great hands. Papaya enzyme has kept me from hurling a few times. It is a life saver. Though sometimes it isn't enough. It is the active ingredient in meat tenderizer. I keep the tablets in my purse in "case". Don't need them often but am grateful to have them. If I have any doubts about the status of the food in my stomach, I chew a couple. Kathy

2.25 miles on the treadmill and some stretchs and arm weights. All at home, no time for the gym today...daughter home from school for some silly teacher work day. They were home last Mon for Martin Luter King Day. Sorry about that chicken! It sure has ruined my day many times. I think I may have finally given it up ****il I try it again!)

What is up those teachers? Don't they know parents depend on the kids being out from underfoot weekdays? It is inconvenient enough they let them out for holidays, but REALLY, a teacher workday? Please! You should talk to the school board Good for you working out at home! Seven

I went to the gym this morning, only walked 2 miles I was not feeling it for some reason. I did walk a total of 11.5 over the weekend though. Tomorrow is weight training.

ONLY 2 miles? I am grateful everytime I finish with my 2 mile walk! I always think I will pass out first. Do you walk on the treadmill? Seven

Hi Seven, I usually walk on the treadmill but on the weekends I walk outside. I am training to walk in a half marathon in April. Last year I was lucky to walk one mile in a half hour. Julie Congrats on all your hard work.

Good luck on your half marathon! I am signed up to participate in March of Dimes Walk America 5.5 mile walk in April. Not quite half marathon, but I'll get there someday! Seven
