HI there everyone - my name is Cori, and I am a complete newbie. I just had a baby (my 9th) seven weeks ago and my goal is to lose the last 36lbs gained over the last few years. I was challenged to do a triathlon, which is why I am here. I am currently walking my dogs daily and just upped that to 4 miles a day. So I put myself down for 70 miles initially, but believe I can do 90 miles. At the moment I am walking, but want to integrate jogging into the routine as soon as possible.

Glad to meet the rest of my team mates!! Do we post our miles logged weekly? And how do we document the miles done, or is that a matter of us trusting that we are all doing our miles?

First of all welcome Cori. Very glad to have you her on BT and on our team. 9 children is very impressive. We log our training in of all things a "training log". You can access it her on BT and I am sure you will find it invaluable. If you look at the square boxes just click the one to the left of the "forums" box that is marked training log. It is pretty self explanatory from there. Good luck with your goals and don't hesitate to ask questions around here. You will find some very knowledgable and helpful people around here.

That's because we never get to see the outside and we get temperamental about it.

This outside place you speak of...is that the one with grass, and trees... I think I remember itWink My lab doesn't even have a windowUndecided

In my experience, most major labs are without windows or natural lighting.  Do they always stick the research labs in the basement?

I don't like my Gastro Dr.  He tells me to eat more fiber, eat more fiber...it doesn't help.

A lot of the high fiber foods available have wheat in them-turns out that my gut doesn't like it.  Really doesn't like it. 

Instead of prescribing drugs, why didn't he check for celiac disease? Oh, thats right, most drs are there to support the pharmaceutical industry.

He wouldn't check?  I was having some pretty bad GI problems and one of the first things my doctor checked for was Celiac and Crohn's.  Both are just blood tests.  Can you try a different doctor?

Depends on the department.  I'm in a 12-story building of research labs.  We're on the 5th floor.  Biostatistics is the only department in the basement.

I have a physical coming up-I will see if my general doc can have the blood tests done.  If not, I will get a referral.  I will also ask around and get some opinions on the different Gastro docs

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome! Let me add a short caveat to the whole 9 babies thing. I have five of my own children, and then decided to help childless couples complete their families so I have been a gestational carrier x3. I gave birth to LARGE twins in October 2005, a BIG singleton boy in April 2007 and a HUGE boy on August 13th. So I have given birth 8x, but I am only raising 5 of them (thank God - I don't know that I want to do the whole diaper thing and I am still awake and it's 3:00am what on earth is that on TV nights again!)

OK, I logged my walking but I am doing something wrong when I try and save my strength training log. I clicked on save to template, and chose the exercises I did, and then clicked add to log, but I don't see anything there. 

Looking forward to getting rid of the final 36lbs, and to working towards my goal of doing my first ever tri next spring!

I really hope you don't have Crohn's. My wife does and it is a horrible disease. They will have to do a endoscopy and colonoscopy to diagnose that. There are a ton of Gastro diseases and issues. Hopefully it is just something that you can control with diet.

Wow...that is really amazing.  Being a surrogate is such wonderful thing to do for another family.

as long as I never have another ...okay-I have friends that have been really grossed out by it so I will type it in 'invisible' text and if you are curious you can highlight it.

 

Barium Enema

It was the nearest that I have ever come to passing out. I was incredibly miserable.

I've had some of the other stuff done as well-I can live with that(as long as they sedate me)

Logged my first miles of the challenge - 6 mile trail run this afternoon. It was absolutely glorious - cool, sunny, and noone on the trails.

I now a gal who has been a surrogate mom quite a few times.  She I guess she enjoys being pregnant.  I sometime babysit two of the kids that are not with her.  They are raised by a gay couple-one girl from each dad.  Before the surrogate kids they adopted a boy from China who was really malnourished.  He is doing great now.

... I've got 6-7 more hours of florescent lighting and beige walls.  

Wow, we must work in the same building. 


I have a window into the hallway as well.  So I get to look at the pretty beige walls in there as well.  I've got to get a picture of that.  I never realized how "office space" funny it is that I have a window into a hallway looking directly at a wall with nothing on it.

I must be lucky. I have a wall of windows on one side of by cubby. I usually have the shades down in the morning because the sun shines right on my computer. In the afternoons, the shades are open. I am also lucky in that my job requires me to leave the building to visit with the individuals on my caseload. Sometimes I get intentionally lost on the way back to the building and take a little longer in drive time than I should. My job is extremely flexible, so most of the time my supervisor has only a vague idea of were I am.

Yep... there's a classic example of gov't emp.
I can say that b/c I'm one too...
We like to discuss things in meetings at restuarants.
My favorite is that after tomorrow's fair, we usually head to a lcoal pub to discuss the event while it's fresh in our heads.

I love having meetings at restaurants. Even better, I love that I can eat lunch with a client and then still take my lunch hour on my own, since I receive a one hour non-working lunch every day.

Oh, that sounds like a GREAT way to get a workout in in the middle of the day.... or can you take a late lunch at say 4 and not go back to work....
