This has been a good week for me.
Monday: Zumba
Tuesday: an hour at the gym, stretching, cardio and Strength.
Wednesday: 45 minutes of stretching and elliptical and a ton of walking at work....

45 minutes of Zumba today!

Walked halfway to work yesterday in the frigid cold. Today is Hour of Power at the gym. Then a date. ;)
At some point tomorrow, I will get the winter workout of shoveling out my car from the storm!

I too have been remiss in posting, but have been faithful to exercise. Hitting the gym and taking classes multiple times a week. My faves are Group Power (weight lifting class), hour of power (body...

I remember the first time I was at the doctor's office and the tech took out the BP cuff. I noticed that she was not using the large cuff and I was sitting there wondering...will it work? Will it...

Hey all!
I've been slacking on posting, but I am still around and still doing well! I was on a much needed vacation a few weeks ago and working 2 jobs, but still trying to get in the workouts. So...

Any coworkers you can buddy up with? It makes it easier to go when you have committed to someone else, and a lot of fun too!

I do not think that we all have depression (I don't), but I do think that it is very important for you to ale your surgeon aware of your struggles. I would also highly, highly encourage you to find a...

I am leery to believe this story without knowing the source and if it is a credible source or not. It does not sound like a medical journal or anything reputable to me.

Yeah, the one with the red rose is exactly the one I went for. It was a chocolate base though!

Thank you all for your encouragement! I appreciate it and hope that you will continue to follow along...

Thanks! I will keep adding to it and already have a list of topics I am planning on writing about.
Good luck with your surgery! You will do great!

Hi Everyone,

I am now 10 months out from my sleeve surgery, and I decided to start a blog about my gastric sleeve surgery experiences. I will be posting about my successes, challenges, recipes,...

Thanks, all! You are all my inspiration!

Fiesta, you have such a great attitude! I am sure that has helped you to get this far, despite all you are going through, and it will help you through your next surgery and recovery! Keep us posted...

I think this will be my next race, if you want to join in! We are thinking of forming a team with a nutcracker theme. ;) https://racewire.com/register.php?id=2773

Good luck! I pray that all goes well and that you find relief soon!

Ran my first official 5k today! And it was actually a bit longer than a 5K (3.72 miles). My 5k time was 34:44 and it took me 41 minutes to run the whole course. My hip was screaming at me by the end,...

I too am from Boston and had my sleeve with Dr. Vernon at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital. Private rooms at Faulkner and I got great care there!

I had a touch of this post op. it went away after a few weeks, on it's own.

Mark, I can relate!
I have not been on so much as life am work are crazy busy right now, but I am still working out! My 5K is less than 1 week away and I think I will be in good shape for it! Ran...

Good luck! I hope you are feeling better today!!!

I too have picked up a second job temporarily (but using it to save in general - I wish it were for plastics, lol) I agree, it IS hard! My ankle has healed so I am back in my running shoes and ran...

Definitely call your doc. Those were my symptoms when I had gallstone pancreatitis, which can be dangerous. Get seen ASAP. Feel better!
