8 pounds later

We'll I went to the gym yesterday. I over did it a little. I got on the precor for about 30 minutes and did a moderate workout. I then went to Macy's to return a sweater. By the time I was finished returning the sweater it was all I could do to make it to the car and home to bed. I slept from 1:00 to 5:00 when Heath got home from work. I made it to work this morning but will go home 1/2 day at noon. Luckily the school is very understanding. The good news is that the day of my hernia repair surgery (2/20) I weighed 242 pounds and yesterday at the gym I weighed in at 234 lbs. I lost 8 pounds with the surgery. I still feel like I have lots of swelling so maybe I'll lose even more when that goes down. I may just make my 200 lb loss goal by my year out anniversary (6/20/06). Only 42 lbs to go in 4 months. I'll be happy with making wonderland in a few months to be quiet honest. Only 35 lbs to that. Chip

Hi Chip, Sorry to hear about you not feeling the greatest, but that's awesome about the 8 lbs. I bet your body is still in shock, both from the surgery again and also the sudden weight loss. Try to take it easy. I know how you fell about try to make it to Onederland. I weighed in this morning at 215.6- close, but not there yet. Can't wait to celebrate with ya when we both make it!!! And, we will!!!! Take care, Kerri

Chip, hun congrats on the weight loss but sorry you has some pain, just take the time to heal and get back into the schedule. Goals are great hun and always keep them with you! May you reach every last one of them. Debra P

I am so glad to hear you are healing. The rest is a good thing and obviously you needed the sleep yesterday or you wouldn't have been able to do it. I am so glad your work is understanding. Take care and congrats on the weight loss! Jo
