Yes, yes, and yes. My exercise was limited, but I did some. Went to the doctor today and he confirmed that my tired feelings are probably greater than they should be from the surgery. He took blood for a bunch of tests to see if he can figure it out. He did however say that I should do whatever exercise I can, it won't…

Yes, yes, and yes. My first 3 yes days in a while. I am feeling better and though exercising is hard, exhausting really, I can do it! My best day in a while.

A bad day for me, I did get exercise, lots of yardwork. But I binged and did not log the food......... A bad day.

No exercise but food was good and I logged. Have a Dr's appointment on Monday to talk about the slowness of my recovery, we'll see what he says.

No exercise again, but I did eat well and log.

I'm in! And hoping for a better month.

No exercise, but otherwise ok. Today I went to give blood, with my surgeon's blessing. However Red Cross sent me home, low hemoglobin... That may be connected to my feeling tired. I am showing some symptoms of anemia, probably need to get it checked out.

Yesterday evening, after posting here, I binged. It was a senseless binge, m&ms and jelly beans........ Today was better, back on track with calories, but no exercise. Things a better today.

No exercise today, but I did eat well and log. Some days it does feel like I am giving up... Oh well, things will get better, in fact they are just slowly.

Yes, yes, and yes. Exercise was just yardwork, but I did it. Got pretty tired, two days in a row was kind of hard, but I did it!

Yes, yes, and yes. ome exercise finally, did about 4 or 5 hours of much needed yardwork. Got pretty tired, and took a lot of breaks, but I did it. Its been 3 weeks now since surgery, I am feeling more tired that I think I should. But it is slowly getting better.

Same as yesterday and the days before. No exercise, but otherwise on track. I am going to try and do some exercise tomorrow.

Another no exercise day in this lost month. Hopefully I will feel up to it soon. I did eat well and log. Good to be reminded of all the NSVs, and losing more than half my body weight and over 200 lbs has given me a lot of them. However being in maintenance now I need to be reminded...

Yes, all but exercise. Will get there soon.

Back on track with food and posting. Still not feeling up to much exercise, but feeling better every day.

No, no, and no. My worst day in a long time, my first binge in almost 2 years. No excuse, no explanation, it just happened........

Well 2 steps forward and one back. Did not feel up to exercise today, probably over did it yesterday. But I am ok on calories and logged. Rick, your post is a good one for me right now, slow progress is better than none.

Yes, yes, and yes. Did so much yardwork I am exhausted tonight. Still feeling a bit weak from the surgery, but now that I have the Dr's ok I am doing a lot more. When I saw the Dr on Friday he told me that my hernias (3 of the damned things) were a lot worse than he anticipated and the operation took longer and more…

Yes, yes, and yes. Exercise was just a couple of hours of yard work, but it felt good. The Dr today told me it would be ok, so I did it. Dr also told me that the hernias were worse and took longer and more work than expected. He said he was not surprised my recovery has been slow, but I am recovering. Too many pass days to…

Still no exercise, but slowly feeling better. See the Dr tomorrow, a clean bill of health may motivate me to start exercising. I did stay on the eating track and log, so not a bad day all in all.. Great pictures Rick, thanks!

Still not up to exercise, but I think I am getting closer. Calories were fine and I logged.

Still not feeling up to exercise, but kept on the calorie track and logged. Very slowly feeling better.

Another day of recovery without exercise... My second pass day this month. I did stay on track with calories and logged so not a terrible day. Recovery from the surgery is slower and more painful than I had expected, but I am recovering.

Not enough exercise today to count. Not for lack of wanting to, and I did do some work around the house early on but just got too tired to continue. May have pushed the recovery thing a bit too hard the last couple of days. So a pass day. I did eat well and log, so all is not lost...

Yes, yes, and yes. But like yesterday my exercise was in yardwork and moving lighter things around indoor, a kind of spring cleaning/reorganization. My energy is still well short of what it was pre-surgery, but slowly gets better every day. So I get what exercise I can, and then take a lot of rests...

yes, yes, and yes (I think) Food was good and I logged. First day since surgery I felt good enough to do some work around the house, a little yard work, but mostly reorganized my office and some other areas, lots of moving things around and cleaning. Grandkids helped with the heavier furniture moving the Dr tells me I…

Yes, yes, and yes!! One day in a row now! Its been a week since surgery and I felt good enough to do some walking, 45 minutes at a slow pace, but exercise none the less. Feels good to be back in the 3 x yes category!

Congrats to the WC! No easy feat, I know. Still not feeling up to exercise, but eating was good and I logged. Don't think I missed a day of logging and had only one over calorie budget this month, so from that perspective my March was good. However having a vacation and surgery kept me from exercising. Next month should be…

Still not feeling up to exercising, but getting better, slowly day by day. I did stay on my calorie track and log.

No exercise, but otherwise good. Feeling a little better each day, maybe I will try to do a little walking tomorrow. No winner's circle for me this month. Optimistic about next.
