Good morning to yet another frigid day in Saskatchewan! I feel for those who have to be out and about in this weather, life and business as usual. 🥶
I have three days remaining to Year Three of my health and fitness journey. I am satisfied with how this past year has progressed. While I will always have chronic lung issues – asthma, COPD, & bronchiectasis – I managed to dodge any infections this year requiring antibiotics and oral steroids. 👍 My mental and emotional health has become ever stronger along with my physical strength 👍 I have missed minimal morning aerobics (very minimal due to health issues). 👍 I lost another ten pounds this past year and toned up noticeably. 👍 My life continues to get easier as I grow progressively stronger! 🤗
I am ending this year on one frustrating note. My strength and cardio training has been on hold for the past few weeks due to issues with my epigastric hernia. I have an appointment with a surgeon in a couple of weeks to discuss repairing the repair that I had done three years ago. In the meantime, I am being cautious. I have enjoyed getting out and walking with Dan and Molly in lieu of more strenuous workouts, but on the minus forty days that is not an option.

Thank you, Terry! It will depend if he can do it laparoscopically or if he needs to go with day surgery. 💞

I’m super happy you’re being cautious with your hernia. Can’t wait to hear about your doctor’s appointment in a couple of weeks. Once you get it repaired and recover you will come back even stronger! 💪 Plus look at you not throwing in the towel, you’re still doing what you can do physically and mentally! Very inspiring my dear friend! ❤️
