Hey gang! Gotta good sweat rolling tonight...some words of advice tho...make sure you eat before you workout, I forgot that I hadn't eaten since lunch time and I had a MAJOR blood sugar drop about 30 minutes into my workout.

I have to catch up with you all; I won the battle with the virus in my Key & program files and it is good to be back. Wow, I am running 3 different anti-virus/pest/spyware firewall, stealth blac**** programs; I am done with these idiots. Cost me 180 $$$ per year but it is worth every penny if I can keep these creatons out of my box.

Okay - I may be a big ole wussy - but I have to tell you that the GB surgery hurt worse than the RNY surgery did. I'm really tender and feel like someone has kicked the he*l outta my side. OUCH!!!! I can only hope that it gets better sooner rather than later....I have MANY things I'm supposed to be out and about doing this coming weekend - like going to sixflags and to the Braves game!!!! Time for my walk - I need to get this pain under control.....maybe time for a percoset instead.... Thanks for letting me vent Dee Dee

Ok...back again! Did ya miss me? HUH DID YA??? I did! Well..... Lovin' the eliptical big time. Did my first squat workout since my injection and WOW No knee pain in my left knee, I mean it was a little tender, but no pain man!! I did my eliptical first to lube up the joints and some cardio then went from there. It felt so much better that I am going to see if we can get the right one done. It's still ouchy but not as bad as the left one was! YEA!! No surgery for now anyways! So.... rosin' up your bow and here we go!
