Topic: Hi, y'all
Just wanted to let you know my partial hyst. is on march 8. Now my weightloss surgeon said that he wants to process the claim so it can be denied and then we put in an appeal. Please when ever you think about me say a prayer that is goes through. I am not able to lift....hurts my side too bad! So I guess that is on hold now too. I am going to start with the nutrionist soon. I know they require 6 months of supervised dieting...... Not sure how I feel about this. I know I can lose the weight. I just can't keep it off. difficult position. oh well. Glad to see people in the gym kickin' some butt.....
Have a great day!

Hi there guys, how the heck have you all been? I am doing much better now, just about completely recovered from a very long sick bug. I am ready to get back to working out. I still won't swim, as I don't want to take a chance of getting sick yet again, but that is ok for now. anyway...Yesterday I went to the gym, and walked/jogged 1 mi..yeah I know..pretty wussy..then I hit the machines for 30 min. slowley I will get to where I want to be. Just wanted to let you all know, I am still around

Topic: not sure where to start
Hello all,
I will be one year post op next month and have been doing some light weights 1-2 times a week and yoga at least once a week. I will start training for the Boulder Boulder (its a runners road race, a 10K). I want to start firming up some of this lose skin especialy the bat wings. I also need to build up my legs to make it through the 10K. I have managed to run 2 miles on my treadmill but that is a treadmill not the open road. Any suggestions on where to start building myself up muscle wise? I am thinking about getting a trainer but am not sure.
Thanks,
Leslie
Topic: RE: I am whooped
Great Job Mikee!!! I have a really hard time with those rear lateral raises, makes my shoulder hurt pretty bad...I wish I could do them tho, it's a good exercise.
I know what you mean about mentally. I just think it's great to go to work all day, then still want to go workout...I know before it was all I could do to get the work day in! But when you think about it we were moving heavy weight all day!! 
What's really funny is I spend 1/2 my workday going over in my head how I am gonna work out that night.... never thought I'd be like that in a million years!
