The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

been reading online about partial and total hysterctomy. The partial is the removal of just the uterus and the total is the uterus and the cervix. So it is abit confusing. You must of had yours down lap. With small incisions. That is quicker recovery. I can't have that because of the csection I had 12 yrs ago. hmm the day of surgery I should joke with the surgeon and tell him hey while you in there you can throw in a free tummy tuck. lol I got to have cysts removed from my ovaries at the same time. So its a 2 surgery in 1.

Thanks. I got a good personal trainer and she helps me. And she loves the cardio I am doing on my own. She show me how to work harder on the treadmill by using the hill program she start me at level 10 at 2.5 speed. I am now at 12 at 2.8 speed and sometimes at the end I bump it to 2.9 or 3 speed. Got to get those calories burned. Today she had me jogging the track after a circuit of sets we were using weights and the ball. Working arms, triceps, and abs. I had to do it like 4 times to jog which I am winded by 1 time around. First time jogging for me. I also did an hour of the treadmill and 30 minutes on the elipitical. Not bad 2 half hours today.
I went to see my female dr and I am going to have cysts removed on both ovaries and a partial hysterectomy. He want me to do the endo ablation but told him that I don't want to go back in surgery if it didn't work. And to think this would be best with me being anemic. He said he was fine with that as long as the insurance approves it. He said if they don't he will be doing the cyst removal and endo ablation. He said the partial hysterectomy has to be done thru a bikini cut since i had a csection said it wasn't save to do it thru the other way. I am fine with that. If we do it the other way he can do it lap. He said no gym for 2 weeks though. Dang I am going to miss the gym. I ask about my recumbent bike he said that was fine but only as tolerated. I will be in the hospital a few days. I will be at St Francis hospital. I had to sign something for the insurance company today verify that I know that I will be sterile. Which is fine with me as I am 45 going to be 46 this year. I don't plan on having any more kids. But said that they request that I wait 30 days before having the surgery. Weird. It is something I thought hard about. I am tired of having the heavy bleeding and think this would be also for my anemia as well. I will be having the surgery at St Francis hospital in Milwaukee

I went to Bally's today was there from 10:40 to 12:30. I did an hour and 5 minutes on the treadmill burn 500 calories. I do the hills at level 12. I did 40 min on the elipitical and burn 465 calories. Not bad for workout today. Tomorrow I should get there at 7:30 then will do the treadmill and at 8:30 I got my personal trainer for an hour we work on strength training.
What time and days do you go to Bally's?
thanks,
