Good Wednesday Morning Everybody!

How is Everyone? I'm doing pretty good. It looks like the scale might finally be moving in the right direction (although until I get below my lowest point, I'm not holding my breath). Eating/Water/Supplements are all fine. Exercise is looking up too. I went last night for my first session with my personal trainer at Gold's. Did all the preliminary stuff (weight, health questionnaire, body fat %, etc) and then he walked me through several machines that worked out every muscle group in my body. I have an appointment this afternoon for my next session (which will focus on the upper body). I'm really excited about this! I think I'm going to try to go to the support group meeting at St. Agnes tonight. I haven't been there since before my surgery (it just seems like something has come up every time). I'm not that worried about it because I have a great support system in my friends and family. Also, I have the best support system in all you here on this board since we're all in this together So what's going on in your world? Have a wonderful day! Terry

Hi Terry, I am 2.5 yrs out from WLS...lost approx 135 lbs, and recently gained 3 of it back....I am getting a wee bit nervous about the gain BUT, I am doing something about it. I am back on fitday.com EVERY day...to log what I am eating. To maintain my weight, I can eat a certain about of junk....but I think I went overboard over the last few weeks with my Mom being in the hospital, etc... not an excuse but I know that if my schedule gets messed up my eating and exercise schedule gets messed up...so, now I am trying very hard to get back on a schedule... I CAN do this... RAE

Rae, You'll do it...because you're on top of it and not waiting until it's 5, 10, 15 or even 20lbs. Keep in touch

Good morning Terry Everything is accounted for in my world this a.m. The 'boys' are home and well behaved this a.m. and I have my purse out of the RV so there's $$, driver's license, and ID badge today. Have some proposals to work on evaluating here so I had best get busy with them. I am out of sorts with today already being Wednesday. These 'short' weeks mess me up. Have a good one. Hugs, Mo

I know what you mean about the "short" weeks...I am so afraid that I will wake up and report to work as usual on Saturday...not that it would be a bad thing simply becasue I would love the overtime! And I know that the big boss would never turn down an extra set of hands on a Saturday. Everything else is good...I kicked my own a$$ at the gym last night. Two miles on the treadmill, one round on the weight circuit and then two hours of cardio workout in the pool! Honestly, I didn't feel that bad this morning, even woke up before the alarm clock...even though that can be accounted for the fact that I haven't been sleeping that well. So, I plan that if my day goes smoothly, back to the gym tonight...I want to be at/below 350 for my 6 week post-op appointment with my surgeon. Well, guess it is back to work.

Morning!! I hit the ground running today. Yesterday seemed like a very hectic day so today I began with getting some things sorted so that I can work on one thing at a time and not try to do a lot of back and forth today. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I have done something, completed a task and then have to go back and redo it. Especially when the redo wasn't caused by me. Such as refolding the laundry after my kids dig through it or such as for work yesterday, working several days to get a meeting finalized and then have to go and reschedule it because the boss has decided to go out of town that day instead. Oh well. I suppose that is what I am here for. Still it does get under my skin just a tad. Today seems to be going much smoother. Just found out that I will be permanently assigned to support my people. Yay. It will be nice to know that I won't be moving around from week to week. Besides, I am just now figuring out what these guys need so I would hate to start all over again just as I am getting in my groove. These guys keep my busy but we communicate well so I think it'll go nicely. Went to curves last night. I can really feel my conditioning exercises working. My muscles are mildly sore and it feels good to have them be so. Esp the buttocks where I really want to tone and tighten. I need all the help I can get in that area. Well, have a wonderful day y'all. Should get sunshine & warmer temps back again soon. I am just not quite ready for fall temps. I like the season, just not the cooler weather. Hugs, Robin
