IDGOMB 1-22-09

 I helped a friend move today. I still have to work tonight. I will also walk to the bus stop to get my kids. 

Tomorrow will be more moving. Hopefully it will be all done for her tomorrow.

What does IDGOMB stand for?

As Denise said IDGOMB I DID GET OFF MY BUTT this is a way to keep each other motivated and accountable with exercise. Feel free to jump in or if nobody has started the post for the day go ahead. Welcome aboard! C'ya Bob

I Did Get Off My Butt today, too!   I got off my butt yesterday, as well, but was too busy to post much.

Today--So far:  up to 7000 steps on the old pedometer.  Aiming for 10K.  Also did 30 minutes on the elliptical.

Yesterday--Accomplished:  13,189 steps, 3000~ calories burned according to my body bugg, 4 x 20 minute walks and a weak 20 minutes on the elliptical (barely 1000 steps).

Tomorrow--Goals:  swing by the surgical center and get weighed in (aiming to submit to insurance next week if I can wrangle off the last 1.8 lbs!!!!), do my 20 minute walks by skipping the shuttle and do 30 minutes on my elliptical.  Of course be good with my eating and measure/write down everything that goes in my mouth.

Okay, if I ever need to move, I am SO calling you, Gidget!!!  

NEXT?????

Walked about 5 miles, worked arms light weights.

NEXT!

Walked 1 1/2 miles.

Next!!

The only time Idgomb today was to have more x-rays at the VA.  They x-rayed my right knee as I couldn't put any weight on it.  The the Dr. started moving my knee around and the pain shooting up the femoral bone caused me to pass out.  I'm to keep it propped up until I go back to the VA next Thursday.  I had to go to the VA for an ultra sound on my abdomine so while I was there I had my knee checked.  Southern Hills didn't check my knee.  But it's just very bruised, but something in my thigh caused me to pass out from the pain. 

I wasn't able to go to the hospital to see my honey.  He did call me and came thru the surgery to have a stint put into the blockage.     He gets to come home tomorrow.  I am so glad, I miss him so very much.  

My landlady has a stationary bike on the deck, we're going to bring it in for me to work out on.  Then I can do that since I have to stay off my leg for a week.

 I have to add to my getting off the butt. I worked for 4 hours tonight, stocking shelves. Whoohooo
