18 Month Update with some skin........
I completely forgot yesterday was my 18 months out surgiversary until Supergirl posted hers and since we're switch Bro & Sis, it reminded me. So here's my 18 month update:
Things are pretty much stable and normal, nothing much exciting or different happening, I have no food issues; which is a bit troubling because I worry a bit about regain. I don't even get gas or runny poops when I eat white flour. Oh course I never eat a whole lot of it, so maybe if I really go hog wild with it I would have some issues, but just normal eating doesn't cause anything out of the ordinary.
About the only change from 6 months ago is that I'm a lot stronger now. So to commemorate, I took my camera to my work out and had Christie snap a few pictures while I was lifting. We were doing a strength only program where you do 12 reps of the weight you normally do 15 reps with, then rest for 1 minute, add 5 or 10 pounds and do 10 reps, rest 1 minute, add 5 - 10 pounds do 8 reps, rest 1 minute, add 5-10 pounds do 6 reps, rest 1 minute then do 12 reps of the middle weight or weight you did 8-10 reps with. Then you do one "bonus" lift of 12 reps that's a different lift but uses the same muscle group. Rest 1 minute then go to the next lift & muscle group. I was working on all upper body; chest, shoulders & arms and they are dead today. This is a really tough work out; your muscles are just exhausted.
Anyway, here's a few pictures; as you can see, I'm dressed in the appropriate green color for the day LOL:
That's it, I really can't think of much else to say except....
I LOVE MY DS!!!!!!!!!!!
