Monday after Easter The last three weeks since the surgery have been a total wash. I don't remember them. I've accomplished nothing. I'm sure I've gained weight. I won't know until Thursday. I determined that I would get back on track today. I'm hoping to rebuild my good habits and promise to be on every day when I'm home. Now that I have the iPad, I will sometimes be able to be on when I'm not home. I'm not willing to pay for online services, so it will only be when I'm around free WiFi. The good news: Friday a week ago, I had State mandated blood work done. I haven't been journaling my food, or keeping track of intake, but my food selections are still very healthy, for the most part. My blood work results are amazing. My glucose was 85, A1C 5.5 (out of the pre-diabetic range), cholesterol 180, triglycerides 141 (they have NEVER been in the normal range before, since I have been aware of such things), HDL 51, LDL 101 and TSH 3.77 (a little on the hypo side, but not bad). The only things out of range are my hemoglobin, 10.4 and my iron is on the low side so my anemia is there but not terrible like it used to be. I'm trying really hard to wake back up. The wounds from my surgery are completely healed, but I still feel like I'm only half here. I'm hoping that upping my activity will get me back in the swing of things. I'm NOT going to nap, damn it! I'm off to see what my buddies are up to. I have missed you all. I just haven't been very good company . . . not to you, not to myself. Have a wonderful Monday! Hugs.

Start slowly with the exercise...I don't know how to put this but we are not as young as we use to be and it takes longer to heal. The blood work is fantastic, you are obviously doing things right.

FOL, I was so glad to see it. I have been so derailed. It verified that correct eating DOES work, even if you aren't keeping track. I'm not so sure about the weight part. We'll see.

Johanne, so good to see you have healed, but don't overdo. Your body has gone through a lot so be sure to rest when you feel the need. You are making good choices, your blood work indicates that. Now you are back on track. We have missed you too. Hugs XXXX
