Kat and Puccah's Strong is the new sexy log

[RegisterJr]

Sorry to hear that P!!!!! Praying it heals quickly and your able to get back into it. Had a question for you all. Does anyone or has anyone I should say, ever have extreme bloating daily? I lost all that weight towards middle of yr before and some last yr. Then when I had the carpal surgery on right hand, I gained 12 lbs back. Holidays hit and gained 28 lbs. I'm still hovering around 243 but when I got down to 215 I felt 100 percent better than ever. What's weird is I'm losing in my lower waist again, but from belly button to right under chest, I'm extremely bloated no matter what I've ate or drank. Even got put on prescription Lasix and yet this feeling is painful but very discomfit and is effecting my breathing even when just sitting. I've used yogurt and probiotics but nothing is helping.

I see no chunk....I see a woman who's been working her ass off. I know how it feels to be out of the gym for a little while.

Feels like all the gains are gone

 

[wasme]

I see Quads

 

[whiteboy3192]

I see yummmmmmmmmmm

Thank you, Ryane. It's crazy how you things happen sometimes. I stopped chasing a dream that wasn't meant for me.

Thank you! It does but I know it's only temporarily. The awesome thing is that the gym is a part of my life and no longer just my life. It'll always be there. Some days I just want to hang out with my family. Most days I have homework, and other days I'm going from one job to another. And the best thing is that I don't feel guilty skipping the gym for it.

I see Quads

I see yummmmmmmmmmm

It's just an illusion.

 

[Rocket3015]

Take care of yourself !!

Puccah there isn't a single wrong thing about you both inside and outside!!!! Your looking ripped!!!!!! I need your energy! How's your rib doing?

Thank you, Kleen.

You feel good and thats a huge bonus. Lots of people work like crazy to get THAT look, but just feel horrible. I still think you look divine and would have happily escorted you to that wedding! Just sayin. Youll get back in there when youre ready, because if you go before you're physically or mentally ready..youll be doing nothing but killing time. TRUST ME!! Fought that for years.

Thank you, Rocket. I do miss the gym but I know I have to get better.

Thank you, Pack! It's healing well. I'm just waiting for my surgery on Valentine's Day.

Thank you for your kind words. It would have been nice to have someone there with me but I had a lot of fun.
I really needed this time off to just LIVE and not worry about "looking good." Plus, I'm in my final year at school and it's kicking my butt, and I have to focus on work. I'll get back when I'm ready and I'm sure it'll be soon. Once you start this silly journey, it stays with you forever.

No smiley face but this was the park we took pictures at.

 

[packers6211]

Awe I didn't know you was having surgery. I'll make sure to pray for my special awesome friend!!! Keep us posted on how it goes!!!!!

 

[love2liftkat]

You're beautiful inside and out puccah8808 ...you definitely needed this time! I hate you're going through so much but I love your attitude about it all!

 

[MrKleen73]

You are still as sexy as ever Puccah, I imagine even sexier in person because your confidence in who you are as a person has increased and that is sexy all on it's own!

So, no training today. Checked on my son, just before 5, as I was about to head out the door this morning. Unfortunately, he had fever and got sick right after I gave him Motrin. Took him to the dr though and he tested positive for flu. They put him on tamiflu and some cough medicine.

 

[RegisterJr]

Happy Valentines Day ladies

[MrKleen73]

Crushing the workouts!

 

[puccah8808]

Thank you for all the kind words. I had my surgery on Monday and it went good. I should be back in the gym on Saturday. It seems like I've made every excuse not to fully dedicate myself to the gym in about a year.

First, I busted my knee, then I got a part time job on top of school, then I broke my rib, and now healing from a silly surgery. At times, I feel like I don't even belong on this forum because... well, I'm not currently training.

I'll be back, though...

Kat, I love your dedication and drive.
