Good morning Warriors!

Active weekend for me - Friday I did my primarily lower-body workout, and wobbled to my car. Saturday morning up to walk with DD and DDog - normal pace, but I felt a little less 'springy' in my step since I KILLED my lower body at the gym on Friday.

Saturday - helped hubby haul wood for the fireplace. He was lucky enough to get some reclaimed timbers from work and loaded them into his truck and brought them home. We hauled and cut timbers (gotta love a chop saw) for a few hours in the afternoon, then both fell asleep on the couch...:thumbup:

Sunday - actually helped use the AX to split wood today. After the first couple of swings, I got a good stroke going and was splittin' like a pro. Of course that means my shoulders and arms are a little sore this morning, along with my legs (lots of bending and up and down the stairs carrying wood into the basement) but I feel pretty strong. Got my 'Brute Squad' card from the hubby for the effort in splitting wood...:biggrin:

Walked DDog with DD this morning - cold air made us move right along, so we made it faster than normal today. Will do my lunchtime walk, but no workout tonight because DD's job is having family night and serving us all dinner.

Keep on keepin' on!:thumbup:

Luluc, my post sticks out terribly, especially when I tighten my abs, ie: situps. My port is also flipped so it is sitting on its side. Anyway, y doctor is going to put in a low profile port when I have my surgery.

Ack..been a crazy week - started a new job this week and lost internet connection at home for a few days. I still made it to the gym every day last week. Saturday we walked around the RenFest, and I admit - I was bad. Sunday we just chilled and recovered. Monday we jogged around the neighborhood w/the dogs. That was really fun.

Today, back at the gym. Ran/walked/jogged for 30 minutes went almost 2 miles.

I lost 2 pounds after hitting a plateau since May!!! I will get past this!

i really don't want to mess w/my port if i don't have to. but it started out right next to my belly button..now it's an inch under my sports bra & can be annoying at times. it's totally visable.

glouc congrats on the plateau break!!!!

today - day off (wed); not even walking a dog; it's raining and i have zero plans to do single activity other than raise my fork at meal time...LOL:w00t:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
