So ya...

Hey, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!   I hope you're able to spend time with family and/or friends today.  We're heading up to Bellevue to spend time with my mom and some family friends, so that'll be really nice.  It's Isaiah's first Thanksgiving, so I'm sure many pictures will be taken.

So I went to the doctor yesterday and he confirmed that I do, indeed, have a hernia and will need surgery to repair it.  I don't know exactly when said surgery will happen, but it sounds like it will be sooner rather than later.  My doctor set me up with a surgeon who is supposed to call me and set up a consult appointment and get the surgery set up.  I gotta say, I'm not happy about the whole situation.  I don't like going to the doctor, and I really don't like the idea of having surgery.  My doctor said it's a pretty straight forward surgery and the recovery isn't too bad, but still...it's really gonna mess with my plans for working out.  I haven't worked out in like 3 weeks because I hurt and/or was sick...consequently I've put on some weight...not tons or anything, but still...the scale is moving in the wrong direction.  Turns out I need to exercise to keep my body in check since I suck at eating healthy.  So in that regard, I'm happy to have the surgery so that at some point I'll feel good again and be able to be active.  Joyful and I had planned on doing P90X through the holiday season and then starting Insanity in January.  Looks like I'm not finishing P90X with her...she took some time off because she was sick for a couple weeks, but she started back up and is on day 42.  Most of the stuff I've read says it takes about a month after hernia repair surgery to be back to normal.  So I guess I'll be back to normal about New Year's.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
