I was diagnosed 6 mos ago with osteoarthritis. I am working out in a number of fashions: wii fit step aerobics, nordick trak, and water aerobics at the gym. Today, after 4 consecutive days of exercise, I am barely able to walk. My calves and ankles in particular hurt so bad - my dr lowed my dose of Tramadol for the pain - I cannot take "regular" otc pain meds due to the gastric bypass - it is so frustrating to loose the weight, work on  a healthy lifestyle and have stupid bone pain ruin things!!!  Some days the pain is so bad I think, I am ready to try Social Security Disability and then what???? On a happy note, I "scaled" today and am 5 lbs off the bad habits.

Wow, so hard to say it has been a year since  a true update. I have decided to rejoin the local support group (but just missed their meeting last night). I must have help, and need the support only found by those who have made this journey.
I now have pretty severe osteoarthritis - I have promised my GP and my Rheumatologist that I will lose weight. I have finally had three successful days in a row of healthy eating, and more importantly - or just as important, exercising - using my Nordick Trak even though it kills my wrists and hands. I pray each day for strength and plan to soon be the "poster girl" I was 2 years ago for Gastric Bypass.

Happy late Mother's Day. My guys got me a Wii Fit Plus for MD. I must commit to exercise every day. the weight will never stay off just because I drink my protein drinks, if I am over eating, and eating poorly, it is a waste of my expensive protein drinks. I will drink water today and try to only have 3 pro drinks - loved being home to work out instead of the smelly gym.

Three days straight, eating great, working out (at the gym) - I love being in control, and my choosing to get up, go to the gym, eat right and log in all, I am so super charged today. I know I will get to my goal, and my hubby is really kicking in this time and following his WW so he can regain his lifetime membership. It is so much better having a supportive lifemate.

I will start each day at work, early, reading OH and keeping blogged in with my brothers and sisters of this journey. History of our past lives must encourage and define how our history will end. Be blessed and thank you for sharing the journey. I love OH

Well....  I am back to early am work out, Nordick track today, and drinking protien drinks, love Nectar Iced tea. So far, only "meal" was a 12 carb bar - yummy - trying to get back in control prior to Thanksgiving, so I can lovingly say "no thanks" to carbs my body does not need, nor do I need the extra inches :-)
