Thanks everyone! Everything went very well. The pin came out just as expected and I am even allowed to walk on it with full weight as pain/lack of pain permits. I have a horrible headache from lack of nutrition and (more so) lack of Diet Coke, but other than that I feel pretty good. Of course my entire foot is still completely numb and I have Vicodan "on board" so life is looking rosey at this point.

August 1, 2008 starts the continuance of my journey to a thinner, healthier me! I know I can do it!

Oh, forgot to mention that I did meet my personal trainer, Earl, for a workout today before surgery. Let's just say that that might not have been such a good idea, since I hadn't had anything to eat or drink since 8pm last night and I wasn't even allowed water during the workout. Half-way through the session my whole body started to feel like it was made out of Jell-O. Earl was impressed and for that matter so was I. Me thinks my shoulders are gonna feel it tomorrow. Good thing I don't have to use crutches!

Hey Brenda,
So glad to hear surgery went well! So great! And you went to your personal trainer in the AM? That shows some perserverance, girl!

Tomorrow is a brand new day, and you're going to do fabulous!! Have a great rest of your day!

Yea, I had the appointment for the trainer before the appointment for the surgery so, since Earl is so hard to schedual with, I decided to go for it. I do not recommend any significant work-out after having nothing to eat or drink for 15 hours. (Just in case anyone was thinking about it)

Hey Brenda !!

It is now officially August 1st 2008 !!!!!

I am here acknowledging the moment, since I can't sleep and decided to have a celebratory shake ! cheers !

I am psyched too, as my 10th year anniversary is on the 9th and I want to see what losses I can celebrate about !!

So glad to hear you are out of surgery and by the time you read this will be into your medigrub !!!

Have a great new day on program !!!

We can all start planning what kind of sexy holiday dresses we'll be modeling !!!

One shake down and time for another meal. I am off to a bit of a rough start since the numbness has worn off my heel and I am hungry too. Kind of a double whammy toward being grumpy. BUT - I have my Diet Coke again so all is not lost!

Shake, shake, shake....

Are you hiding in the bushes?

Seriously, I feel like I am all over this board and no one is here !!!!

Come out....Please????

I musta been out looking for coconuts or something. Sorry.

Actually, this is "fair week" and, even though Deanna isn't participating in the actual fair, we can't seem to stay away.

My life may slow down next week but, then again, I thought that last week too.

Hurray...You are back !! Don't let life or the fair or "stuff" keep you from being here....Remember...No matter WHAT we are all in this together....I sound like a High School Musical song or something !

Anyway. Great to hear from you and send me a pm if you don't feel like chatting in your journal for today... K???

The island is NOT the same without you !

I shoulda known. A few people on my other board are in Ohio and one was just asking what she could eat at the fair (right after someone else asked if she REALLY has to eat vegetables; yeesh).

Hey, Brenda!

I'm so glad your foot is doing better! Now here we go - starting back on the exercise train, slow and steady!

Thanks so much for keeping up with me the last coupla weeks. You are so supportive and the best cheerleader ever!

It feels so good to be back!
