Val, thanks for asking. I am doing "ok" , not great. Still not losing at all. I missed the gym for the last 3 days but that was due to things beyond my control.

I have my mother coming over tomorrow to watch my kids just so I can head out to the gym.

I'm starting to enjoy going again. I used to go 3 hours a day and I really liked it on most days. For me, the hard part is getting there cuz once I go I do like it after I get into it.

I'll do this. I am determined.

Thanks for caring enough to ask!

Chuck - Don't push yourself at the gym too much. Even if you can only go for an hour, make it a good workout. You don't want to get bored or over do your workouts.

Hang in there!!!!

Hi Chuck! I just got a chance to read through your journal. I'm sorry that you aren't seeing results inspite of your efforts. I know that is horribly frustrating. You have such a great attitude though, you seem very motivated and very driven. With that, you will have success even if it takes awhile to see it. Good luck to you!

FINALLY... I lost 1 pound. Why this is so hard, I don't know. At one time in my life I could easily lose 5 - 7 pounds a week without exercise.

Today I did a little less cardio but a whole lot more weight lifting.

I did:

2 sets of chest press

2 sets of shoulder press

2 sets of rowing

2 sets of lat pull-downs

2 sets of curls

and 2 sets of something else I can't remember.

also I did a set of 25 crunches and a set of 15 crunches

Tomorrow will be "lower body"....

as long as my kids cooperate. They have been out of daycare all week, each with a different "sickness'. And they have MRI's scheduled for Friday so I need to get them healthy.... hence, we kept them home from daycare.

Anyway, fingers crossed that I can get my workout in tomorrow!

Hey Chuck!
Just wanted to stop by and say CONGRATS on that pound loss. I am sure it is the beginning of trend. Good luck with those MRIs. I hope your twins will be fine.

Congratulations on the loss! I hope you see many more in the coming weeks.

I hope your children feel better soon!

Thanks Val. No results yet, and actually they could only do the MRI on Abby. Emily had too much congestion and they decided to wait til her bout with bronchitis is done.

The bad part was, and this was REALL hard to watch, Abby had a hard time coming out of anastesia. She woke up as scheduled but then spent 2 hours VIOLENTLY thrashing and yelling. Finally she wore herself out and went to sleep. She slept at the hospital for about 2 hours then came home. She was still freaked out that she couldn't walk right and was still dizzy.

Then she had dinner, watched a little TV, and then went to bed for 13 more hours! Really scary. But when she woke up whe was as good as new. The hospital told us that this reaction happens in about 2 - 3% of all kids coming out of anastesia.

Now we have to reschedule Emily for the same procedure about 3 weeks from now. Hopefully she won't go through that.

Hope you are doing well, too.

Hi Chuck,
Just me again, checking in. Any results yet? I hope Emily does not have a reaction to the anastetia.

Val,

Well, Abby, it turns out, just has a ahiry spot on the base of her spine, I expected this but it is a relief. I'm sure that Emily is probably the same. I come from a family that has a bunch of very hairy men!

Thanks for asking.
