Cathe Fans Part 5

Thank you so much Laurie. I think the only strength I have is to move my body around.

Wednesday Is my colonoscopy and endoscopy prep day. I have to start drinking 1/2 the solution at 5:30pm and the second half at 2:30am. My procedures start at 7am on Thursday.

DH's boss told him his PT position has been approved. We're very thankful for that.

Great job upping your weights! I keep thinking I want to get Caroline's app.

I don't know if the rain was going sideways. Good point!

I'm glad'you found Arash on Instagram.

I likethe looks of this guy's food too.

Morning Thelma,

DH and I did a Full Body Stretch for Flexibility & Mobility with PJ. DH did okay, we really do need to make stretching a regular thing for us. This morning I did Power Yoga with Chris Freytag.

Oh I do feel for you with that prep for your tests. Hope everything goes well for you.

Congrats to your DH! I'm sure that is a relief to see that approval.

DH and I will have to try Caroline again at some point. I was having to much knee pain when doing her workouts. I'm sure it was because of the many lunges that she does.

Thanks for the link. Just glancing at the finished food looks delish.

Have a great day!

Hi Laurie,

Great job with that stretching workout. Stretching is very important. Hopefully, you'll be able to do more of it when you retire.

Wednesday was about keeping busy, so I wouldn't think about how hungry I was. I survived on sugar free lemon Jello, water, green tea and apple white grape juice.

I kept myself busy cleaning, reading a boo, baking bread for DH and a little indoor walking. Mentally I wasn't going crazy thinking about food, but my stomach wouldn't let me forget it needed food. The solution I'm drinking is actually OK, but it's 4 liters of it! I hope everything will be normal.

We are relieved and thankful about DH'S job.

Did you ever check The Knees Over guy? He may have aomething to help you with your knees.

See you tomorrow!

Morning Thelma,

DH and I did the Full Body workout with Cheryl again. Both of us felt is was tough going through the third round, so we both must have had tired muscles from the previous workout.

Good job keep yourself busy. For sure it is tough when you are hungry. I found coffee helped me with the hunger.

I will have to check out the knee guy. If I don't do lunges to often, my knees feel so much better. I also just make lunges non weight bearing. That has help so much.

Have a great day!

Laurie

Hi Laurie, good job with the full body workout!

I slept two hours on Wednesday night. Everything was normal with my endoscopy and colonoscopy, and I won't need them for 10 years. The doctor took a couple of biopsies just to make sure there weren't any diseases such as celiac. I can't remember what the other thing was called. This is all because I was having digestive issues, not because he found something. My stomach got better since I started eating Greek yogurt with protein powder first thing in the mornings. I'm sure the thing that's helping is the yogurt, not the protein.

They really release you as fast as possible out of that imaging facility because they do about 30 procedures a day. I was pretty unsteady when they walked me out. No wheelchair! They walk you out. The staff that took care of me was wonderful and the nurse who did the IV needle was very gentle.

OMG, drinking that solution at 2:30 in the morning was very hard. I couldn't finish the entire jug. I finally was able to take a good nap in the afternoon. Of course, I felt even more tired after that.

I managed to do a little low impact walk workout.

Have a great weekend!
