Awesome on the RAD run yesterday Michelle. I was concerned about the powder being thrown at me (stupid asthma) not sure if it would react or not. So I didn't do it. I need to get back to running have not run in over a week. Tomorrow is a start back at the gym day and a kick in the ass for me. :-)

Good luck on your diet bet. We should get together for coffee on evening.

  Dr Ponce de Leon Mexico     VSG 4 Jun 12. I lost 57 lbs on my own before having a VSG. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Topic: Update

I have been maintaining around 195 ish ( up and down through out the day and month ) but I've been so bad with junk food and no****ching what I am eating. I joined " diet bet" and am commiting to losing 4% of my body weight in the next 28 days. I'm going back to basics. Meat, veggies, oatmeal, oatbran dairy etc.......  Low carbish... I allow popcorn and veggies as a snack.

 

I've been dealing with fatigue for the last few months. my hemoglobbin came back low as was my platelets and my b12 was a little low. I'm on iron now and hoping it helps my energy.  I need to go for surgery to get the lump in my neck out soon. I wi**** was to get my lumpy belly fixed lol.. all my extra weight sits in my tummy. ..

 

I did the color me rad run yesterday and what a blast!!!  I jogged/walked it mostly but still so much fun. Here is a pic of me and my hubby in the middle of it!

Topic: RE: Health Care Spending Account -- good news

In connection to health care spending, let me share that the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of the Sciences, has compiled a report detailing developments in health care spending. Among other findings, the IOM found that an enormous quantity of cash is down to healthcare waste, or on anything but helping patients. Healthcare waste, including unneeded treatments and administrative overhead, makes up about $750 billion each year. I guess, some of you already heard about this.

Sondra...I know everyone is looking forward to a girls weekend..BUT the Important thing here is that You are We'll enough to go...SO..my thought are..put it on hold until you get your CT scan again and they figure out what is wrong and you get it fixed before you doing any running across the border. ..with your health issues, I would not take the chance of crossing the border and heaven for bid ending up in the hospital down there....WE Want you WELL so you can show us all the ropes, not the hospitals! Take it slow and easy, get well and maybe we can go in October or something . I know you love going there, But I think we can all wait a little longer until we know you are Well. barb C
