R'ya Movin??? Monday Edition!
Moving was a little harder today because it was HOT (91 degrees on my porch when I started walking, 90 degrees when I finished). BUT... it actually felt good to push myself a little bit. (And it was pushing myself, especially towards the end of the hour.) I drank 20 ounces of fluid in the first 45 minutes (at which time I literally ran out of what fluid I had carried with me, so the last 15 - 20 minutes I was bone dry). I'll be well over 100 ounces of fluid for the day today. I heard that post-op RNYers were supposed to take in 20 ounces of fluid per hour MAX. I don't know if that's for people more than a couple of months out but less than a year out or if the 20 ounces is a myth all together. Anyone hear anything like that or know what the rule is? I need to email Addie or Courtney and see. I don't want to hurt myself. Drinking is SOOO much easier now that it's getting hot outside. So anyway, after walking for an hour, I went down to the pool and floated around a little bit. I hesitate to call that actual exercise because all I did was literally float around on an innertube while my daughter played hysterically around me. But it was worth mentioning I guess. LOL So what about you guys? Did YOU move today???

I WORKED outside most of the day. Boy, was it ever hot! We had several large limbs that fell, due to the storm. I was off and on the tractor all morning and most of the afternoon, loading limbs and doing a little work on the fence. Trimmed hedges and weeded flowerbeds. Everything was going great till about 4:30 and I decided not to round up. I went to the barn to put the trailer up and drpooed the trailer on my toe! Poped the nail right off. Spent 2 hours at the ER. Thank goodness nothing was broke but I needed a tetnus shot so I had to go. My evening walking was out of the question at this point. I just hate that happened because I just got a pedicure!
I will count my movin' today as working in the yard!
