Day 7 Exercise -- TGIF

Nancy Great Job.... Hope your weather is improving. My brother is on his way to Myrtle Beach for spring break... That would suck if he has nasty weather. Have a great lunch. Sounds fun. Tammy

Hey Tammy! Thanks! I think your brother will do okay weather wise at Myrtle Beach...here is a link I checked out for you... http://wwwa.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?partner=google&myadc=0&traveler=1&zipcode=29572&metric=0 I am looking forward to my lunch with my buddies, we always have a great time together! Hope you have a great day! Nancy

Hi Tammy, Yeah for everyone's success. It's so great seeing us do so well and supporting each other. I go to a monthly support meeting, but there's no connections with anyone there like there is here. Well, I found my exercise today. I got to go up the hill from the hospital to my dad's place by Lake Arrowhead/Big Bear. I spent the next hour shoveling snow just so I could park the car! Shoveling snow - 60 minutes 378 cals. Dawn 258/140/135 A side effect of not being at home - can't step on the scale twice a day. I'll miss my Monday weigh in, so it should be interesting to see where I am next week.

Gotta love that snow.... I think shoveling is 10 times more exercise than walking... Great job.... I agree with you. We are all bonded together so much on this board, it's wonderful. Glad that we're so blessed to have a wonderful bunch of gals on here. Take Care Tammy Can't wait to hear what your scale reads too... Should be interesting. When are you going back home?

Hi Tammy, I was surprised that I didn't burn more cals for an hour of shoveling snow than my 70 min. walk on Wed. Go figure. I know my muscles are complaining more today than after my walk - though I don't use arm and back muscles quite the same way walking. I'm planning on heading home on Wed. if my dad gets to come home on Monday. That gives me a couple of days to help him and my stepmom get things squared away here at the house and me a few days at home before going back to work. Dawn

Tammy!! I see you and deb are going to the Pa event......my hubby and I are going to! I met you both pre-op at the thursday night support group next door! I had surgery 8-19 and am down 103! Cant wait to see you both there.........not sure if ill recognise you with all our weight gone

Hi Kathy, HEYYYYYYYYYY... you're the one that I was emailing with prior to surgery right???? How exciting... Ya, I know Deb & Margie are going for sure. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get work off that Friday. Sounds like such a great event.... WOW 103 lbs...you're doing AWESOME Can't wait to see you. Tammy
