hi miezimau....forgive me for not comin by sooner. i hope everything goes well and that u make a speedy recovery. ur workouts look very good. again just wanted to stop in and say hi and good luck...hope u have a great day tomorrow.

miezimau · 06-01-2006, 02:20 PM

ok, so I missed 2 workouts this week and it looks like I will miss my 3rd one, too. I am back down to 161.8lbs even though I am pigging out these past few days. It has been raining most of the day yesterday with hail and Thunderstorms and severe Thunderstorm warnings throughout our county with possibility of quarter size hail. Luckily we only got penny size hail, but the paintjob on my Cement slap in the Backyard is now ruined. All the paint chipped of from the hail

We were not able to jump into our above ground pool either. The kids were pretty upset the past 2 days, so we went to the Library and got some books and signed them up for the Summer reading program. They can win small prizes and there will be a drawing at the end of the program with a 100$ check for the winner. They will also each get a free book of choice when they complete the program.

Well, I am off to take them to the Dentist for their routine cleanings and maybe to the Laundromat, since I got caught in Murphys law and the Washer broke yesterday. Everytime DH is going away to a Field Exercise with the Army something goes wrong. Last time it was my Truck that had to get the Rear Axle rebuilt. UGH.

Hope everyone is having a better day then me

miezimau · 06-02-2006, 11:59 PM

Still holding on to that 161.8lbs. I know I have to try really hard to get my workout in tomorrow. I hope I can do Biceps, Triceps and Shoulders and abs.

ok, sorted through my old paper food and exercise journals and found some measurements that I took when I began with the South Beach diet at 196.5 lbs now at 160.8lbs.

here we go:

miezimau · 06-07-2006, 02:45 PM

went and grabbed a book from the library called Strenght Training for Women. Has some very good info in it, and I came across some charts that let you calculate your BMI and Bodyfat with some measurments (for women) and According to the book I have an BMI of 25.8 and a Bodyfat of 30%.

That is a 3% difference from my other measuring and calculating method.

Once I get past recovery from surgery I will go back into the gym and have them measure me with the Calipers again.

Well, since the boys are out of school I missed about every workout so far. Today I will get some exercise since I will be mowing our lawn and I have lots of house cleaning to do before DH comes home on Sunday just in time for my Surgery on Monday.

miezimau · 06-09-2006, 01:18 PM

sitting at 161.4lbs today only 3 more days until Surgery.

No workouts, but a lot of house cleaning and cooking and freezing going on these past couple of days. Today will be Laundry day as tomorrow and Sunday will be my last day to do nothing but relax!

pammiejoe6 · 06-09-2006, 04:22 PM

yay! relaxation time! hugs babes!!

miezimau · 06-11-2006, 08:47 PM

ok, I am starting to get a little more nervous now

Only a few more hours until surgery and I cannot sit still for more than 5 minutes.
DH is supposed to be coming home in about 3-4 hours, but this wont be helping a lot either I am afraid.

Yikes. I hope to be back on here on Wednesday the latest to see how everyone is doing.

pammiejoe6 · 06-11-2006, 11:16 PM

dont be scared susan...youre gonna do fine....think positive thoughts babes! you are STRONG...you can deal with anything that you are faced with...you KNOW this!

im thinking of you and sending some of my positive vibes your way as well honey!

come by as soon as your back and let me know ok??

TONS of HUGS!

miezimau · 06-12-2006, 11:12 AM

Good morning yall!

Well, it is 5am and I am getting ready for Surgery. Fixing to take my 2 doses of the fleet enemas. I know TMI. I was able to get a new wWsher and Dryer last night after DH got home around 2pm. It is a Frgidaire Washer (frontload) and Dryer (frontload) I love them already!

Went to bed at about 20 minutes after midnight and had a really hard time going to sleep. I am guessing alltogether I might have gotten 2 1/2 hours, if that is a lot.

I will try to get back on here ASAP to let yall know how it went.

major TONS of hugs babydoll!

miezimau · 06-16-2006, 03:01 PM

Allrighty, back from the hospital and I must say I really thought I would be in much more pain. I was taking Precocet for the first 2 days after surgery and then just extra strenght motrin. I cut that out yesterday. No more pain meds for me. I have been getting constipated from them so I decided I rather be in little pain than constipated, since that is much worst. I will have my follow up appointment in July (20th) to see if I am healed enough to go back to my exercise routine. On a better note, I lost more weight and I am down to 157.8lbs this morning. I have been eating good and I try to walk as much as possible around the house. I get up every hour to walk for at least 5 minutes. Yes it still is hard to walk, no bending and I am not allowed to lift anything heavier than a water bottle. It's all good though. I hope to be up and running very soon

Thanks for all the well wishes!

pammiejoe6 · 06-16-2006, 03:50 PM

whohooooooo so glad everything went well hunny! hugs!

miezimau · 06-17-2006, 03:38 PM

ok, I went for a walk outside around the block yesterday and boy was I hurting after! I also tried to cook dinner last night and that was also a bad idea!
I now know, that even though I am not in pain doesn't mean I am healed yet. Still a lot of swelling in the abdominal area and I look like I am 8 months pregnant. Trying to put on a tummy binder to see if it will help with the swelling. DH has to go back to work early and instead of beeing home for another week he has to go back Monday morning.

I am going to have to completely rely on my kids for the next week and this is not a good thing

I hope they wont kill eachother and drive me into the nuthouse! Michael is almost 11 and David is 8 and they constantly fight all the time.

pammiejoe6 · 06-17-2006, 04:29 PM

i feel for you sweety....just hang in there....kids are usually good at helping when its important for them to do so!

hugs!
