No difference. I still have mine. I know others who have had it removed and they said it's better now! Actually, I'll say things are better because the reason I had the surgery (fibroids) is over and life is SO much better now!! Everyone I know whose had the surgery agrees. Your life dramatically improves bc the issues you…

I had laparoscopic partial hysterectomy 2 years ago. They had me up and walking the next day in the hospital, and my doctor advised me to walk frequently at home as part of the recovery process. Granted, the walking is more of a shuffle, but it helps. Restrictions on lifting and exercise. After a few weeks I was allowed to…

Hello there! I have been sick for the last two weeks, still to haven't shaken this thing. I think it was actually the flu and a cold. Good times! My goal for Feb is to just get healthy! Need to get back to the point where I can take a walk and taste food, lol. @MelissaPhippsFeagins that's an awesome prize!! Good luck with…

@MelissaPhippsFeagins so sorry to hear you've got the stomach bug! Ugh. No fun. I've picked up some flu like thing... on day 3 of fever, aches and chills. Yuck. I'll be planning for a fresh restart in a few days. For now let's just recover.

1/18 Red. 9/31 Failing at my workouts. I really dislike staying after work to workout here. I want to leave when the day is over! Missing my lunchtime workouts, but they're not an option now. I've got to figure this out. @Laughter_Girl what is dietbet??

1/17 Green, yes 9/31

1/16 Green, yes 8/31

I'm back! Was out of town for a few days to visit family. Needless to say, it was a bunch of red non-logged days. Boo! On the plus side, I'm ready to get back on track again. Still at 7/31 green days. Sorry about the phone @MelissaPhippsFeagins. That stinks. Mine fell off a table last year and shattered and I know the…

1/10, 11, 12 Green no, yes, no 7/31 Gotta run!

1/8, 1/9 Green, no and yes 6/31 Workouts Yes and no. Lifted! Brrrrrr! I'm ready for summer. Will try to run tomorrow. @MelissaPhippsFeagins hope the running is going well!

1/6, 1/7 Green, yes and no 5/31 Exercise, yes and no. Ran yesterday. Had hoped to get out this weekend but we're expecting windchills of 0 tomorrow. Nope!

Melissa, I don't think you're an old lady!! Lol! Great steps!!!!

1/5 Green, yes 4/31 No exercise... I pulled something in my back drying my hair. Completely pathetic!!! Seriously, how does that happen??

Welcome back @Laughter_Girl! Yep, we're here!!!! I think this month is definitely a get back on track month. I'm trying to log, move more, make some good choices etc.

1/4 Green, yes 3/31 No workouts

1/3 Green, yes 2/31 Got my first lifting day in too... chest/shoulders.

Happy Birthday Melissa!!! Hope you had a great day

This is a great post! I'm just getting back into running after a year and a half off after an injury/surgery. It's difficult starting again and was thinking of using the C25k app. Your post made me want to go for a run!!! Thanks

1/2 Green, no. 1/31 Exercise, yes... I ran! So excited!!! Did 2 miles, a few walk breaks, and it was slow but I did it! Rose Bowl party at a friends so knew I would be red, but I didn't go overboard. This should be the last of the food celebrations for a bit! @MelissaPhippsFeagins, are you training for a race?

1/1 Green, yes 1/31 Did a 2 mile fast walk w a few little jogs interspersed. Feels good to be getting back to normal!

It is good to be back with you guys! Missed you! I took a little break from logging, I think I needed the fresh start. I also started a new job a couple weeks ago, same company, different department. I'm really excited! Unfortunately my lunchtime workouts don't seem to fit within my new schedule so I have to figure that…

@Laughter_Girl how are you feeling??? Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. Hope the surgery went smoothly. It's been a challenging year, hasn't it? Beach trip was lovely!! I should update my profile pic w one from there.

@Laughter_Girl congrats on the soggy half marathon finish!!!! Way to go! It's definitely running season. My Facebook feed is full of people crossing finish lines and showing off medals. Just chugging along here. Hitting through weights again. The 21 day fix workouts w my friends are fun but not enough. Heading to the beach…

@Laughter_Girl - awesome! I'll be hoping for good weather for you. Is it this Sat or Sunday? Have a great time! Let us know how you're doing. I'm still trudging along this month. Did manage a couple of gym days this week and some walking. Finally had my pain-free walk and took a few jogging breaks too! Yippee!! :) The only…

Eeek! Not so hot this month!! I've had maybe 4 workouts and only a couple of green days. Oh my :o. Just finding time to check in here has been challenging. @Laughter_Girl what half marathon are you doing?? Exciting!

Didn't do so hot the first day! 0/10 on. Both. D'oh!! Planning to walk at lunch instead of the gym. It's so nice out! @Laughter_Girl I get some of the minimalist baker blogs too! @MelissaPhippsFeagins wow. Those are great goals!!

Ok, so it's 5 days into the month and I haven't even come up with goals yet, does that give any indication of how my month is going?? Lol! I'll go with 10 workouts and 10 Green days starting now. How are the vegan recipes @Laughter_Girl? Do you find it easier or harder to follow?

9/29 Green! 10/10 Workouts, yes 22/15 Woohoo!

9/28 Green! 1 more day to go and I will have made that goal too! Got brave and weighed myself and I've lost a couple lbs so yippee! I know it's not a big thing. But it pushes that second number up into another range and I don't like that! @Laughter_Girl maybe I can trade some workouts for some green days?!

9/27 Just went back and looked through the month, not doing as ad as I thought goal-wise! Green day goal was 10. I found 8 (lots of days I didn't fully log though!) Workout goal of 15 and I have 20! Woohoo! I haven't weighed myself to see if my 5# gain is gone but things LOOK better (maybe that's good enough?) I say we…
