I'M BACK!!!

Hello all,
Sorry I've been away so long, but I've had some serious internet problems and haven't been able to be on line since late last week.  But, I haven resolved my issues and am back on line.

Hope everybody has been able to maintain their exercise regimen and stayed on track.  I will begin posting the exercise thread beginning tomorrow.  I hope you didn't take my absenteeeism as a reason to  slack off.  Time to get back on track starting tomorrow.  For those of you that are doing the 5K on October 5th, we are just a little over 2 months away.  I can't wait to meet everybody.  Talk to you all tomorrow.

Hey Andy,

My internet was down for a few days too!  Man that was a pain in the you know what!!
Today I did an hour and a half of mowing the lawn with a push mower.  I had a wonderful workout and felt great.  My husband kept telling me I'll do it but I was enjoying my workout. It felt great and I will be doing that every few days from now on.

I sat here so happy and amazed because if it wasn't for this WLS I would have never made it to 5 minutes of mowing.  To me it was a great WOW moment for me because I was not winded or even tired. I would have died of exhausted the first 5 minutes before losing my weight. 

Anyway glad you are back and wishing you all the best with preparing for your 5K.....
You should chat with Dave Gede he has completed a few 5k's and he is an inspiration to me and my husband. 

Let me know if you want his profile he would be someone excellent for you to keep in contact with. 

Have a great night!

Hi Andy!!!! Dont sweat the small stuff although I know you were greatly missed.
I myself have not been on in a few days. No computer issues just a 5 week old here around the clock. I forgot what that was like. Im so glad I had my husband to get up for all the middle of the night diapers and bottles. The baby belongs to a friend of his. LOL I also became an Aunt again yesterday to a preemie fighting to breathe at AAMC so stress is killer! But I did want to pop in here this morning so everyone would know I didnt just drop off the map. hehehehe
Hope you get your computer fixed soon. Take care (((Hugs)))) ~Jilly~

Good weekend including a 22 mile road ride through Greensrping Valley Sunday morning - got on the orad early and was done by 8:15AM!  Yesterday I lifted and biked a short while before I had to rush home to take Ethan to camp.  But we went to the pool last night and I swam laps for the first time in ages!
Tonight I am going to do an 18 mile road ride in Columbia with a group training for the triathlon. 
Peace

I'm glad to see you back Andy I swear I just need a beating because I have been slacking off........it's not for a lack of want....I just have a lack of energy right now......I'm waiting on my labs still.

Andy,

Welcome back!  My exercise this weekend was walking the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City.  It was painful (bad hip) but I felt better having "moved".

Welcome back, Andy!  It's great to see your smiling face again, and your children are so cute by the way.  I won't be running any 5ks on Oct 5th since that is 3 days after my surgery, but I hope to hear all about it!  I used to run track before all the obesity so I'd love it if you all post pics of the race!
