Im so completely thrilled to get back into the gym....it's almost pathetic! I am gonna have to really put a timer on myself to make sure I don't go too long.
I wonder what all these people are going to think when they saw me RUNNING 3wks ago and now Im creeping along.....
And before you think Im a complete narcissiste (oh hell, I can't spell that) I really do KNOW all the people there....I mean.....cause Im sooooo shy and stuff........

Anyone else itching to get up and complete a triatholon? Or am I the only freak here???

Me...I can't wait to get back to the gym. I was just released to start back. Dr actually released me a couple weeks ago to start walking. Just anything I was able to get up and do was great....!!!

Ya know, I think I have brainwashed myself pretty well since RNY. I know if I want to maintain my lifestyle and weightloss I have to MOVE. And therefore being told not to move is almost a painful and offensive thing! LOL!

Let me know how your first day working out goes! Im excited and a little nervous!

Are you kidding? Bonafide freak here. I'm literally counting the minutes until I can workout again! This has been the hardest part of deciding to go through with plastics...the inactivity. Working out is such a BIG part of my life. Not being able to, drives me crazy. AND my gym is my living room. I'M RECOVERING IN IT FOR PETE'S SAKE! I Swear my body ball is staring at me! Wii Fit is wondering where I've gone. My free weights sit on their tree and mock me. It's torture for sure! I can't wait for the ok to get back to my routine!

It's like to me - to be told I CAN'T work out is like telling me - YOU HAVE TO GET FAT! BWAHAHAHA!!!

**make sure that laugh sounds super evil and cunning in your head when you read it, in fact, go back and read if it you need to!**

I'm going crazy without my work-outs! I'm afraid I'm gonna "loose my edge" with my running and have to decrease the weight with my strength training. My surgeon says no strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks and quite honestly I get tired with the walking I'm doing and I'll be 3 weeks post LBL tomorrow!

Well - guess who did NOT get to go to the gym this morning
Yeah - my coughing ALL NIGHT LONG took it's toll and I feel like I had been doing stomach crunches. Bright smart little me decided to lay outside for a while and read yesterday cause it was so pretty (with sunscreen of course, I dont tan, I fry like bacon) and the pollen got me too badly.
And because Im a hard head who hates to take medication (I like to do things as naturally as possible) I didn't have meds so I went to get them from pharmacist and now have every intention of SLEEPING today before I have to get my kid from school.

Tomorrow though - Im SOOOOO there!

And BTW - I too am pretty much resigning myself to the fact that my 5k training is basically going to have to restart. I doubt Ill be in much condition to just get up and run by the time Im ready. Im hunting for a good charity 5k in the October-ish range so I have time to build up. I LOVE running for great causes!:)
My goal is to complete a triatholon next Winter (not this one!)
