Wait why are you awake?

Yes. Very hard too!

I actually signed up for a 5k this summer I went ahead and paid for it so hopefully,that will help me to stay active.

Thank you Christie...I told some friends from church about it yesterday so I have a lot of support there as well. I am really excited about this new chapter.

I got 33 minutes on the elliptical before church this morning. Small oatmeal for breakfast nice small lunch out. Now time for a nap then back for evening service. Have a great day ya'll.

I just wad to check in this evening. All went well today. Small meals on target today at work. Plenty of fluids. Exercise went pretty well. 200 step ups and 45 minutes of walking at work throughout the day. Got home and got 30 minutes on the elipti-kill.. Getting the work done!! The commander made us a good Valentines day dinner while our kiddos were passed out on the couch. Pork tenderloin and green Beans. BIG NEWS BIG NEWS I decided today that on June 27 this year, I am going to participate in my first 5k! It is a walk run in Dayton OH hosted by our minor league baseball team. I am going to need plenty of accountability! LETS GET IT DONE!!

Here is one WLS related. When a person has trouble with their appendix and a surgeon removes it, it is called an appendectomy. But when a person has problems with their lap-band it is called lap- band removal. Why not lap-bandectomy??

if nobody buys a ticket to a movie, do they still show the movie?

That puts my mind at rest. Thanks...

I feel great this morning! I am ready to get moving and hit it hard! But, the truck is broke down. Hope to get up and running soon. Hope all ya'll have a great day. Go do something!!

I will get things started... Why do cartoon characters only have four fingers?

Well I got 20 minutes on the elliptical machine right before dinner. With that I did 200 step ups and 1 hour walking at work today. My meals were small. I probably ate one bite too many for dinner. I had chicken bites smothered in hot sauce. Got well over 100 oz water. I think my pouch is gonna be ok after 4 years of abuse. I mentioned in another thread but I will mention it here as well. I am a binge eater. It has been 1 week since my last binge. Very thankful for the victory. I have been praying for power in this fight. The Lord is so good!

@@s_suther what was the doctors reasoning for having you reduce your water intake. I am NOT second guessing him, just wondering.

I plan on getting another walk after work or maybe 20 minutes on the elliptical. I've already got45 minutes of walking and 190 step up while I was loading and unloading so far.eating on track two small meals and plenty of water already.

1 week ago today was my last binge.I feel very thankful for this small victory.y'all step back cause I'm fixin to knock this deal out of the park.

Tanks for sharing sir..it has been inspiring to read your comment.@@jfc193

@@2babutterfly I really did play the tuba. But I think it was because how was the only kid in the 7th grade that could carry the thing. Whenever my kids turn on veggie tales I have to march around the living room like I'm playing the tuba. such a dork. Lol

I am finally on my way home. It has been a good day.my eating was on track. I did not get as much extra exercise as I wanted to. But I still got about 45 minutes of walking and 75 steps in. I will tried to get more exercise tomorrow. I have plans to get my elliptical machine brought back into the house. Its just getting too late today and I have to head back out at tWo in the morning.

DO WORK!!

@@2babutterfly I hope you find this humorous. When I saw your screen name at first I was thinking :what is a tuba butterfly? Then running down the road this morning it hit me and I busted out laughing.. "It's to be a butterfly ya dumb hillbilly. ." Lol

Off to a good start. I drive a truck hauling gasoline mostly. I have been getting extra exercise while loading and unloading five to six trips a day. Well today I am hauling jet fuel from Indy to Cincy. Will only have a few chances to get in extra exercise while at work. I am planning on stopping at a rest stop on the way back today and walk for 20 minutes or so. I have only had a few pieces of summer sausage and 3 bottles of water so far. I will check back this evening. @@s_suther Thanks so much for starting and leading this thread.

The good news is the pain will go away as you lose weight.if I understand right the way you're describing your pain, it is swelling around The port. It will probably help if you keep your back straight when you are sitting. practIce good posture.
