Oh! I feel for you. Don't push yourself. When your body is down is not the time. Do what you feel comfortable with. I hope the test turn out better than you expect. If you have to have surgery, I hope you recover quickly!!! We are here for you to vent. Vent away!!! Thats what a team is about. Just watch you're calories and drink LOTS of water. Don't worry too much on the exercise until you are healed. Prayers are with you!!!

Hey Kristy! I know your pain, literally!! I had gall stones too and had my gall bladder taken out May of 2008 (last year). I know you think surgery sucks but I am telling you now, that is the best thing I could have ever done. I feel so much better now. I am so glad they are gone! I wish you all the luck in the world! It is so worth it! Don't push yourself and do too much. I was in so much pain with mine. My dr told me I had acid reflux. I do but that wasn't what was causing the pain. I hope you feel better. I am home from work but leaving here again. Be back soon! Take care all my Purples!!

I've had a pretty cool day so far. Not much vigorous exercise but generally on the go.
I'm having a problem getting myself to sweat. I ride the bike for 20 and 30 minutes at a time with no sweat. I mean, I know us Southern Belles only glisten anyway, but I expect to be pouring sweat like a basketball player. I'm definitely working hard and my heart rate goes up, but no waterfall.

suprjewels

sounds good! I just got back from a hike around our national monument here in town. It was a lil over a mile. but stopping to look at the damn and such and taking lil 3year old steps made it take about 90 minutes to do. So that was some exercise!!! but, even my DH said I was walking quicker. That's something isn't it??

crystal_sapphire

my weekend sucks, but not food wise. i found out my dog has cancer so i'm very sad. i'm eating well though and just finished exercising 30 day shred level 2

iTim__

200 calories on the tredmill and some weight lifting.

I went to the buffet and Chuck E Cheese today... and still under on calories! Who rocks? I do!!!

suprjewels

I"m so sorry Healthy is best. I definately understand. We have more pets than people in my house. My cat got ate by coyotes in august. Its hard and nothing makes it easier but, time. But, nothing can make it better. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

suprjewels

You do rock Tweber!! Good going!

So the ones that are keeping salts low..... How much sodium is your daily goal? I added it to my food list so I can keep track of it. I just don't know if how much they say is good or should I go for less? Thanks for your input!!!

I have my sodium set at 2500. I usually don't eat that much because I am just not a big salt eater. I don't like it. I do eat some Lean Cuisines and stuff like that, that does have more sodium in it than I would usually have. Hope everyone is doing good! I have been looking at buying a house with almost 5 acres of land and lots of work needing to be done. I see plenty of exercise in my future if we get it.

suprjewels

Thanks! I think that is what mine is at. I'll just keep it there. I had a house with 5 acres... You are completely right it is a lot of work. Good luck with it!

Well the house was built in the 1930s and needs some stuff done to it, paint inside and out, new porch, new vinyl floors, new carpet or carpet really scrubbed, maybe knocking a wall out to make the living room bigger (not a great layout yet!), new counter tops in the kitchen, new cabinet and sink in bathroom, fake tile board in bathroom taken down and replaced with something else.....stuff like that. It will definately keep me busy for a while. Plus we need to get a dumpster there to throw crap away that was left laying in the yard and whatever they don't take out of the house. It is live-able but does need work. It also needs a heat pump and ducts put in.
And there is a 4-6 car garage and a barn plus 2 other buildings outside and an old single wide trailer on the land. And a pasture to put whatever.

suprjewels

Wow that is a lot of work!! but, could be fun and truly worth it. Hope you get it!

renae77

Thanks so much! It does need the work but it has great potential and it's a good place for us to raise our daughter, off the main highway and peaceful. We can do it the way we want it done and it's a great price for all that is there. My hubby loves the garage, of course and the house will be done the way I want to do it. We want to eventually put vinyl siding on the house and a tin roof. I will have my work cut out for me but I think it will be so worth it in the end!

suprjewels

totally Renae!!!

If anyone is interested I'm doing a workout with someone and you can join. so far we've done 30 crunches, 3 sets of 15 calf raises and squats

renae77

I know you are in California but it is almost 1am here. I will do some working out tomorrow. I am so wore out right now, mentally and physically. Sorry hun! I will have to catch my workout tomorrow sometime. I hope everyone is well and I will chat more tomorrow. Have a great night! Good job on the working out Suprjewels!

kirstina_23

Hi everyone thank you so much for your wods it really helps to know theres people you can talk to.
Renae did it make you tired? Cause im so tired i dont feel like doing anything and the pain comes and goes. The first doctor said it was gastroinitis (SW) i did have it but i think it was on set from the gallstones and he didnt look further. Im with a new doc now and hopefully they will find whats wrong cause this stinks!

Healthy im sorry to hear about your dog, i have a chihuahua and and were very close if you need someone to talk to vent im here.

Hope the weekend is going good. Im off to write my guest list and laundry thats about the extent of my excersise. Oh and just so you know im in greece so im ahead in hours, thats why i didnt catch what everyone wrote

Hey Kristy!
Yea I stayed tired and felt like crap all the time and didn't want to do anything at all. Somedays it was all I could do to go to work....because I felt so bad. I went to the Dr so many times and then I was in pain so bad one Saturday for most of the day my hubby took me to the ER. That Dr didn't check anything and sent me home with lots of pain pills and 4 other medicines. Made me take them on an empty stomach so they made me sick then too. Spent the night and whole next day in pain. I talked to my Dr about it and she still swore acid reflux. Finally about a year later, I got her to send me to a Dr specializing in that and they couldn't believe that I had gall stones that bad and my Dr did nothing for me. So I finally got my surgery and had a few pow wows with my Dr and I don't go to her anymore. Thank God! I wish you luck and like I said before, the surgery was well worth it!!

suprjewels

I know I know you are an east coaster and so is tampa. but, I'm hoping to find someone on our purple team that is a west coaster. I'm up by myself alot because of the time difference. but, I understand why you didn't join me. I'd think something was wrong with you if you had! Especially after working all day. :bigsmile:

kirstina_23

Thanks renae cause thats me tired tired tired and dont want to do anything its take all my strenght just to wash dishes and cook. So it looks like im on the right path with this doc. Right now its 8:08 pm finishing up house work getting ready to settle in for the night .


Other than that how is everyone else doing ?

TRLTAMPA

Now Now let's not make this an east coast west coast thing!!! LOL
I'm doing great today. Really worked hard this morning. Got some good cardio in and more errands. Sticking to the healthy foods, even tho the rest of the family is pigging out!
I have noticed that even tho the healthy foods are more expensive, I'm spending less because I don't fall into the fast food trap. It's great to actually have a jingle in my pocket!

I agree Tampa. Now that I am not buying any junk food and all that I am not spending as much as normal and then eating all those calories too. That is a plus! I am telling you this house stuff is just mentally draining me. We have spent more time trying to make sure everything goes thru smoothly and keeping the other families out of squabbles. It is always something! Can't wait til it is all over because I am going NUTS! I hope you are all great!
Suprjewels I would love to be on your time too but it just isn't happening. I love Cali though! We went out there, drove from NC all the way to CA and back thru as many states as we could and I loved it there! I hope to visit again sometime!!

TRLTAMPA

Just got off my bike....got a good 40 minutes in. I'm gonna do some yoga with the kids later. Right now hubby wants me to kick his butt in some Tiger Woods Golf. You can take a pic of urself with the webcam and make a character.....they look just like us! It's surreal!

suprjewels

I did a 2 mile hike in our beautiful national park and I will do 30 minutes on the bowflex in about an hour and a half. That's my day besides some errands thrown in. Hope everyone had a great day!!

renae77

I went to look at the house we are wanting to buy again and we walked around there and then I spent some time with my mom and then my daughter and I spent time at home together the rest of the evening. I hope everyone is doing ok today.

kirstina_23

We found one but it's a fixer-upper and gonna take lots of hard work. But it is a lot of stuff there for the price so we can't really complain. Now gotta get everyone going.

suprjewels

alright fellow purples. I've done 20 on the bowflex and 10 on the bike... Gotta move before our weigh in. How are all of you this morning?
