1 month check up

I had my 4 week checkup with Bret this morning. I am doing well. I've lost 35 pounds!!!! I feel great (a little tired at times). I'm trying to walk 2 -3 times a day for a total of about 8 to 10 miles per day. Usually don't get past 6 miles in a day. Busy, busy, busy!! Ken

Hey Ken, WOW! WOW! WOW! Great job Ken 35lbs. Keep up the good job.... ~Shay

Hi Ken, Congrats on the 35 lbs, you are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work. Patti C

That's fantastic news, Ken!!! It's amazing how the pounds just start sliding off. Keep up the great work, hon! (((hugs))) -Karen

Wow Ken thats awesome! Especially the 6 miles a day!!! Your an inspiration! Puts me in check... I need to get moving! Best Wishes to you! Elizabeth M

Hiya Ken, You are kickin @@ and checkin names huh! Way to go on the weightloss and exercise. If you are gonna do the surgery route nothin' like going all the way to get the max out of it. You are doing great! Race me around the block Linda

Great job Ken, But you didn't mention two important things. Are you off the crushed meds now? Does that mean real food is on the horizon? The six miles a day is great. One tip that I found out is that most physical trainers don't want you doing the same exercise every day. They would rather have you do cardio (like walking or stairs) every other day, and do some weights or circuit training on the alternate days. It gives the body time to heal. The worst thing that can happen is that you pull something and get into a funk. Now you have officially moved into veteran postie status. I think that means you get to sit in row five at PMRI. Keep up the good work, Rob

Bret didn't say anything about the crushed pills. I'll have to call and ask. Yes, I am progressing to solid foods. As for the exercise....Bret also said quite a bit about mixing up the aerobic and weight training. I am going to join the small gym in my building at work as soon as I go back. That way I can go in early, or do it after work....or even at lunch time! Ken

Congratulations Ken! You are doing awesome! Hope everything is good with you, take care. T

Wow Ken. Awesome. You are doing so great.
