Feeling: most of the day ok, supper really bothered me so struggled at the gym I couldn't put any pressure on my stomach -felt like throwing up, but I am better this morning. Should be a good day today I work all weekend my next days off are Mon and Tues.  - and I still have to workout today on my own so I might go back to the base it was a good change.

You're doing great with your workouts. Keep up the good work.

What time do you all wake up.... once my surgery is complete will I become an early riser?

I've always been a bit of an early riser. I'm up at 4:15 AM or so every morning. The time stamp you see on the posts are from the OH servers on the west coast. :)

I get up at 5am during the week and on the weekend I'm lucky to get a lie 'til 7am as my innards get me out of bed early, so that's a long way of saying 'yes'.  Hopefully you'll gain some energy once you're healthier and the trade off will be worth it.

BTW I may have painted the picture worse than it is. I get up horribly early for work and my schedule does drift a bit later when I'm on holiday. But I have to get up when I've been in bed for 8 hours.

I thought I was doing well with my food today, but then I gave in to chocolate. I don't even like protein bars any more, but I was hungry this morning and determined to make good choices, so had that. I paid for my chocolate indiscretion by having a bloaty afternoon!!

IKWYM I got into Lifesaver peppermints today and this afternoon has been uncomfortable to say the least. We've got to get back on the straight and narrow.

Coming live from a hotel room. Came up tonight for an early appointment with Dad.
