[QUOTE="ML, post: 282667"] WO - wow! that's terrific. How neat that husband is your partner in this. It must make it so much more fun having him on board. KTMom I hope the docs get to the bottom of this leg pain. That has to be your first priority now. Just try to eat healthy and when you're feeling better you can get back to a workout routine. Fran, you are doing so great. You inspire me because you're doing this as a marathon, a true lifestyle, for the longhaul gig. It helps me to put the bad days into perspective and I thank you for that. WFEN thank goodness for your success because I can't imagine how you would be handling all that stress otherwise. As far as weights, I just started to incorporate 10 minutes into my workday. I brought in handweights and I have a little room near my work station that I go into for 10 minutes and just do arms. I figure with my walking and trampolening that I'm working the legs enough. It's not exactly a full on weight workout but it's a start. Trin I'm sorry that food isn't exciting and that you're on partial bedrest. Just try to move those body parts as much as you can.
