Ah Ha!

I changed up my exercise program from the usual that I've been doing and guess what...I lost some more weight!  YEAH!!!  I'd always heard that it was true - that if you were plateauing that you could change up your normal exercise routine and bust the plateau - well - it worked!  I'm so excited....and I just can't hide it! Plus, I've been trying to figure out how to reduce my back fat - and I've found a rowing machine that works the whole entire back (at the gym) and I am super stoked. Tonja

Hey Tonja!! I'm glad that you have kicked your plateau in the rear! I was wondering, are you able to do any kind of weightlifting being ten months out? Do you know when you can start weightlifting post op?

Yeah, I've been shrinking all over, but I do have some back fat that I know can be corrected with exercise and I really believe the rowing is going to be just the key! YEAH! Tonja

There you go! Just take it easy in this heat wave! Do you remember that song HEAT WAVE....its running throught my head..urrrgghh

Yay!  You go girl.  I just bought a Weider home gym (takes up most of the sunroom) and I am going to start working out with light weights.  I can't do crunches for 6 months (oh darn) but everything else is ok.  I really got it for the leg press (therapy for my ankle) but it's got a pull down bar and pec bars so I might as well start toning up those flabby arms.

  Exercise?  Nobody said anything about exercise...  just kidding I hope I can find my motivation to get to the gym.  That's truly wonderful, Tonja! Cathy
