Gym Is Open (Saturday)

Hi everybody! Hope you have a nice holiday weekend planned, even if it just means you are going to catch up on rest! I worked out for 2 hours this morning. I'm so determined to get that scale to move! I did 30 minutes on the treadmill then I: S Ball Curl-In (hamstring curl) Ball Fly with Ring Ball One Arm Press with Ring Grab Ankle leg push down Pec Fly Machine (No seat) Ball balance alt. leg/arm lift Push/Pull w/cable alt. sides Tricep cable pushdowns DB Bicep curl Cable Upright Row Cable Squat Then I did 45 more minutes on the treadmill! So, I've already done 4.6 miles today. Woohoo! Even though I've really struggled to lose this last 40 lbs, I am proud of the physical progress I've made. What have you done to move your body today?

Hey, Lori! I'll be glad when I can exercise for two hours! At least I'm able to do my armbike again. Today was the first day of armbike, so I only did about 1/4 mile. Even so, it's a start. Kix

Kix, You will get there! How are you feeling now? Any problems as a post op? Lori

I feel pretty good. No or nausea, although I do belch a lot more than I used to! I'm on Stage 3 (pureed) foods now and discovered today that pureed tuna is disgusting in so many ways that I cannot find enough adjectives to adequately describe it. I prefer fat free refried beans with cheese. Kix

Kix, Pureed tuna is disgusting...won't be long though and you can have the real thing. I love fat free refried beans. I just bought a case of them at Costco. I'm doing my Weigh****chers thing...I was eating too much...now I have confirmation. The battle rages on! Lori

Hi Lori, I walked a little over a mile with my husband on the Thea Foss Waterway here in Tacoma, by the Glass Museum. It is so beautiful. Here's a link to some pictures: http://www.tcfarchitecture.com/page.php?id=28 Julie

Really looks beautiful there Julie!

Hi Lori, I walked three miles at the YMCA track. I also did three miles on my gazelle and two miles on the exercise bike. Hope your having a good weekend. Diana

I'm having a great weekend. Very relaxing! I got another killer (very public) massage at the mall again last night. Man, if that chinese guy could speak any english at all, I think I'd ask him to marry me! He is the best massage guy I've ever had! Lori
