Hi Gang!
Miss you guys. Sorry my updates have been sketchy lately. I need to catch up on the posts. Work continues to be insane. I'm doing long hours at the hospital. My workout was sketchy last week too!! This week so far so good. I've just been focusing in on the cardio for the most part and not doing a ton of resistance training. I'm doing assorted cardio in the am - usually 50 minutes and then my goal is always to lift in the afternoon along with doing some ab work. Back to a traditional split.
My husband quit his job at the gym a couple weeks ago so no more free membership for me there. The good news is that he already found himself another position at a new gym, Federal Hill Fitness. It isn't a local chain like his other gym but rather a single He is brining some of his personal training clients with him and I will also be able to go there.
In the meantime, I've been working out in our apartment fitness room, at home, or at my corporate gym at work.
I lost 46lbs so far. Weight is now 235 (started on 4/19 at 281). Feeling energetic most of the time and getting in 80 - 100 grams of protein over 4 meals. Very pleased with my results.

Stayce and the rest of you, you're right. Monday I should go to the gym that I plan on using after surgery which is btw in 39 days 
and go see what plan of attack we can come up with to meet the goals that are right for me. I really want to not have so much plastics as possible and that is one of my goals here.
Working out before surgery will help me get stronger and like Stayce said that I'll be ahead of the game. It will also help me with that pre-op time on my hands with the mind games that is going on of I'm almost there and yet I'm not (day of surgery).
All I'm doing now is walking while shopping and am so worn out when I get home that I'm not much good for the rest of the night.
Thanks ya'll for listening.

Good job
Walked 18 holes of golf in the heat, first time ever; that is about a five mile walk, and in my case swinging a weighted club over 100 times.
