What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

Thank you ma'am, but I don't consider a size 12/14/smooth skinny!  I call that normal.  And I worked really hard to get to NORMAL.

Hey, did you have all of that edema before you started working out? 

Mary 

I don't know.. the weight kinda fell off for a while so I didn't notice.  I stopped losing in April/may.. and starting going up 20 down 20.  I've been actually "training" since November 1 of last year.

The reason I asked is because I was doing research on the lymph system and they were talking about people who did weight lifting having edema issues because it aggravates the lymph system especially if they've had previous surgery in the stomach region.  My plastic surgeon recommended that I have lymphatic massage to help with my swelling in the afternoon from my tummy tuck.  Now that we have a fancy schmancy new spa in town, I'm going to have one Friday.  I'm going to ask my masseuse about your situation.  I'll let you know what she said.

Mary

yes. ty... and yes.. I've had c-section, tubal (in throught the bellybutton, and tummy tuck.

Mary...DUUUHHHH all that men's work you do is hard! Can you believe our bodies - can work that hard and not be all that scrawny! That righ there should tip us off that this was gonna be no picnic.

Hey where the hell is Kimmie?

My day today?

Proud I went for a walk after work - did not think I would have time!

I did cut my music lesson off a bit to do so, but them's the breaks.

Girl, I could go on a six month hunger strike and NEVER be scrawny!  I'd just lose all of my teeth and hair.

You never did say what kind of instrument you were taking lessons to play.  I figure it's those big giant cymbals cuz they're a great workout.  

Good work on planning your walk.  Kimmie is still recovering from her surgery.  I'll tell her to get her cute li'l symmetrical ass back over here!

Sucker weighs about 40# and my left arm is getting very developed from pulling it back and forth, back and forth!

a song just came flyin' out of my mouth-

"mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest and when daddy gets home he never gets no rest.. cause she's playin' all night... and the music's allllllllllright... Neecee's got a squeeze box. .. daddy never sleeps at night!"

That is TOO cool girly!

Neecee...I hereby declare you an Honorary CoonA$$ in the greatest of Cajun Traditions.
