(No pun intended). I will never be thin again.

But just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap.<br /><br />You'll probably end up being one of those marathoning mamas at the end of it. Endorphins flowing, skin glowing, muscles rippling, carb loading just to keep weight on. Are you psyched yet?Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-39575712772453216632010-10-19T16:24:07.612-07:002010-10-19T16:24:07.612-07:00Wishing you luck, energy, inspiration, encourageme...Wishing you luck, energy, inspiration, encouragement, motivation and good company in boot camp.

Weird story about grossly overweight people and what one does not usually hear about, at least I don't.<br /><br />We were at ER with Barry when he was waiting to have a CTscan (for what turned out to be a pulmonary embolism) anyway,now it is near midnight and there is this rush about the place. The reason? a young man as wide as he was tall simply broke the table and no replacement could be gotten until <br />8:00 AM. Thank goodness this was OHSU and there were other places within the Hospital to have a CTscan. <br /><br />Now think, small town, 1 Hospital, 1 CTscan room, 1 table, 1 pulmonary embolism yet to be diagnosed. What are the odds to survive this without a CTscan? Another reason for heavy people to wonder about their weight. You couldn't break that table even with a sledgehammer.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-72533233956751389352010-10-18T18:58:04.938-07:002010-10-18T18:58:04.938-07:00I don't hate to exercise, but I sure do hate t...I don't hate to exercise, but I sure do hate to sweat.

...good god woman. <br />your schedule had an idle hour?<br /><br />you know you'll end up feeling better but might have to factor in a nap. <br />and a massage.<br /><br />and I hate that my body is doing it's own thing. <br />I am still sporting my baggy capris I bought post injury this summer, while everyone else into wearing fall sweaters and boots and jeans. Mine don't fit. I'm not talking muffin top don't fit, don't fit at all.<br />I refuse to buy new ones. <br /><br />so I either get this done or snow boots and khaki capris with a parka will be the new look for winter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-24167789115266491702010-10-18T15:57:21.038-07:002010-10-18T15:57:21.038-07:00That sounds great, actually, and I hope it makes y...That sounds great, actually, and I hope it makes you feel wonderful!Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307534252847118376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-43197993938109491532010-10-18T15:54:38.279-07:002010-10-18T15:54:38.279-07:00Good for you!

I highly recommend walking,...Good luck, Elizabeth. I highly recommend walking, too. I walked daily for many, many years and never gained an ounce. Then I stopped after back surgery....rut-row. Ten pounds!<br /><br />I was the same as you: naturally thin most of my life until I hit about 45. Five pounds. Then menopause bitch-slapped me and body-slammed me with twenty pounds in spite of me counting every single calorie that went into my hungry mouth. Ouch. I'm back walking (limping, really, but happy to be able to do that) and the weight is leaving in ounces, but I vow to not give up. And I may have to try hormone replacement therapy. I've taken enough Black Cohosh and herbal remedies to sink a ship to no avail. The hot flashes are killing me slowly. I'm going soon to beg my ob-gyn for some of the hard stuff before my husband moves out to the shed in back...at least to get me through the hell-fire of these hot flashes.<br /><br />Be careful at the boot camp and don't injure yourself. That'll just mean more weight!
