Day 11 Exercise

Hi Girls........ How we all doing???? It's sooooo beautiful outside today. I'm itchin to get out & walk but 2 of my girls had an orthodontist appointment this morning, then I had to get some groceries so now I'm trying to catch up on work..... Hopefully I'll get a walk in tonight. If not...I'm hitting the pavement tomorrow for a 4 or 5 mile walk.... Hope all is going well for all of you.... Have a great day Tammy 291/284/198/145

Hey Tammy! It's gorgeous here too! But I feel like crappola. I think this is the worse period I have had since surgery! Not fun! My cramps are so bad that I doubt I will go walking today. I just wanna go home! But only today and half a day tomorrow and then I am off for 4 days. YESSSS! Not doing anything fun and exciting except not being at work! Probably take my daughter hiking with the dog. House is clean so I won't be doing that! Maybe go buy some flowers finally for my flower boxes. I have been putting it off because of still getting frost. But it's time I think... It's looking a little dull on the deck! Anyhooo, hope you have a good day too! We are doing the orthodontist thing tomorrow afternoon... my son is going for his consult, daughter for her checkup (she had her braces off a while ago). Lori 281/187/140?

Hey Lori... I've had a couple months where I thought I would die from cramps. Wonder what the heck that's all about. Never really had leg cramps until post op.... Guess the surgery changes everything... Take it easy today, no sense in making yourself more miserable.... Don't you just love the orthodontist? Both of the twins started in 2003, one had to have the pallet spreader & pre-treatment stuff for the first year. Gabbie got her braces on in Aug of 2003 & off Aug 2005. Morgan got hers on August 2004 & today they told her that her next visit they'll either be taking them off or scheduling for them to come off. Seh's very excited for that news. Samantha has some very stubborn baby teeth. It's taking forever for them all to come out. They told her today that she needs to get 2 of them pulled because the adult teeth are coming in at a slant & will never make the baby teeth loose... So that's the next step. They said she will be ready this summer for her braces to gone.... The last one....YIPPPEEEEE. Thank God for flexible medical spending accounts that's all I can say. Jeez I think by the time we're done, that could have been a down payment on a house... They loook awesome though that's for sure. Have a great night Tammy

I am fortunate enough that my insurance will pay for $1250 of the $4000 it cost for the darn braces. And yes, thank God for flex accts. I will for sure be putting extra money in for that. I got $480 back for my nutritional counseling for surgery. The total was $1450 but at least I got part of it. I could have gotten it all paid for but I wasn't putting in enough to cover it. I didn't even think about it when I re-upped last year. Have a good night too darlin! Lori

Oh yes, thank God for insurance. Mine covers $2000 towards orthodontics... I put $4500 into my flex spending this year. I figure one more year of this & all braces will be paid... Wow, it's gonna feel like I got a big big raise when I don't have that money coming out every 2 weeks... Well, that's unless I go for plastic surgery Nighty Night Tam

My boys are too young to be going through the orthodontist thing yet. The dentist has already informed me that my nine year old will definitely have to have them. Well, I am stressed at work this week. I have so much work to do. Add baseball season and a baby to that and I am . No wonder I weighed almost 300 pounds a few months ago! LOL! I have walked a mile at my morning break and I will walk a mile in the afternoon break as well. I will also walk two miles tonight. Hunter has a home game so I will be able to get my laps in. April 1: 192 April 2: 188 April 3: 189 April 4: 188.5 April 5: 189.5 April 6: 192 April 7: 192 April 8: 192 April 9: 192 April 10: 193 April11: 193 LOL, Sherry

Walked 2 miles tonight with DH, our oldest son and 2 of our dogs. It's not much, but better than nothing I guess. 269/177/163 surgeon's goal/150 my goal (don't see this happening tho)

Tammy Have I given you my thanks lately? for doing this? I am telling you, I didn't exercise for 3 days (slight tummy burn- its fine now) and I enjoyed what I did instead- like being out/ my sons birthday/ dinner date - I did miss my routine of exercise- didnt get on the scale- AND I did return to my workouts last night.. KNOWING I would have to post, even when I was tired and wanted to quit..I kept motivating myself to get through so I could go swimming..SO thanks to you or I may have cut it short but today- Im glad I did not. The scale backed up to 230 again ! 45 mins Treadmill 15 mins Precor 15 mins Leg Sled/weights DONNA 325/229/145
