Good morning,

Today is upper body work out day. back, chest, shoulders  @the gym.  And 30mins of cardio.

Last nights workout was really great.  I'm trying hard to keep my workouts intense like it was w/the trainer.  So far it's going well.

What about your plans for the day?  what will you do today to move your body.

Good Morning Everyone ! 
I hope this finds you all well and warm during this transition in seasons. 
 
I am on my way to see a surgeon for my thyroid tumors and hope to get a surgery date. I also have a picc line in and if surgery is to come soon I will leave it in , but if they post pone it for some reason I am going to ask to take it out. It is cumbersome and sometimes painful .

I hope you all are happy , safe and doing well ...
Chime in and let me know how you all are doing .
I miss you all and cannot wait to get back full time .

Much love and blessings ,

Tink

Topic: RE: Still Feeling A Little Weak
I had problems with a lot of dizziness but i can only say what it was for me.  Though many said, it might be because of not enough fluids.  For me, due to the weightloss, my heart medication was too strong and it lowered my pulse too much.  My best suggestion, call the dr's office and see what they suggest.

Topic: Still Feeling A Little Weak
I am a little less than two months post op (RNY) and I am still feeling a little weak at the end of the day.  I am eating everything I am told to by my dietitian.  When I bend over to pick up something (like a golf ball) I can feel dizzy and a bit light-headed.  I am getting regular exercise and have lost about 65 lbs so far, but I was wondering if those of you who have been through this before have any experience with this.  I am thrilled with my weight loss so far and am going to keep on till I reach my goal weight.

Any words of wisdom?

JB

Actually, I was working w/a trainer, last week was our last session together.  When I say we, I have an awesome gym partner who is also my BFF.

Today was a really bad day for her.  She hasn't been losing weight lately . (she did not have wls) so I had to remind her of what she has accomplished so far, and that yes we may need to look more closely @ our diets and make some needed changes, but don't  forget the dresses she wore this summer that had been in her closet since her kids were small.  She put a smile on face because of course she forgot about that.

So I hope it helped her.  I'm still very motivated right now, but I know that can change.

Hello Jazzy,

Are you working with a trainer?  I had a very good workout today, not as long as I wanted but good all the same!  In order to do what I would like I have to be a the gym between 5 30 and 5 54.  The normal time I get there is a few minutes before six. 

You have a good workout!!!

Molly

Good morning everyone,

10-6-10 Hump day

Unfortunately I was not able to go to the gym as planned yesterday,  I had to stay late @work.  So that means  today's workout will have to make up for it.

We plan to do an intense lower body workout.  And I may try to stay for the Zumba class.

What are your plans for today.?

I will hit the gym on Wednesday and do the elliptical machine for a few and then some strength training.  I lead a pretty active lifestyle but it never hurts to keep moving to stay in control of your weight.
