Gym is Open (Thursday 4/10)

Kaiser CO doesn't offer a lower body lift at all, and to be honest, I'm not sure I'd take them up on it if they did.  When I met with my PS here, he said things like "I doubt we can do anything with your mons" and "Thighs are tricky and none of the surgeons here are very good at it."  If I had $16k handy, I'd go to Brazil and have it done there.  I'd like a lower body lift and and an upper body lift like our friend Loris had.  However, in the meantime, if I could get Kaiser CO to cover at least a panni, that would be nice. Congrats on having access to cosmetic type PS in West LA, just don't let them give you the PS who does Joan Rivers' work!  AIYEE!  Ten days at a quilt show?  It must be more like a quilt convention.

I did make it to the gym, just back actually.  It felt really good and my body was very cooperative.  I think it appreciated the rest and was raring to go again.  I did 17 minutes on the treadmill heart rate program (set my rate to 150 and it had to ramp me up to 10% incline for most of the workout @ 2.5mph) and then I did full body circuit training, including 50 crunches and 20 squats against the balance ball.  Then I did 17 more minutes on the treadmill on the calorie burning program at 2.8mph.  In total treadmill reported 340cal burned, plus the weights.  The best part, my hip is not bothering me much at the moment.  Its a little cramped and tight but not like it was.  I think the hip adductor machine is helping it. 

I can't remember if it's the hip adductor or abductor that makes me cry like a teenager in love afterwards, even though I know it's doing beneficial things.  Glad to hear you're enjoying the gym, and did they refund your enrollment fee? Kix

We ha ven't asked yet because we go at night and there is no staff there.

We had enough snow here today (and it was BRR cold), that I opted out of gym exercising today.  Instead, I stayed home and did (with vigor) all my home cleaning chores, made a big pot of chili mac for dinner (with enough left over for tomorrow night), then hunkered down in my big comfy recliner where the two dogs and I watched "The Fugitive" series on DVD.  I didn't even go to aquaicse, my sister actually went by herself (yay!).  The teacher thought I didn't like the class because I wasn't there tonight.  Oy.
