Well, here it is my first blog. Kinda weird feeling, but i've been wanting to do one for a while.
i've been approved for surgery after a year long supervised diet. tried b4 to get it done in shaumburg, but insurance considered the surgery experimental at the time. so glad they reconsidered.
i'm not at all scared. i'm very excited. i'm more scared about the 2 week liquid diet pre-op. did it b4, it's really hard.
i've been doing 50 minutes a day of cardio for a week now. i had a really bad headache today, though :sick and didn't exercise. i did notice that my legs are looking shaplier, though.
i'm starting to think about exercise 1st when i wake up instead of food. now THAT'S different.:clap2:
still not doing well with the diet or strength training, though. have to start that soon.
Christmas Eve. I've got a killer headache again. Funny, I get it right after I walk. I wonder if there is a coninsidence?
TERRIBLE eating today!! For breakfast I had 2 Krispy Kremes and a Poorboy sandwich!! I'm really regreting it, though, cuz it made me nausous and I'm burping garlic to the max. Ick. Couldn't even think about lunch because I was so full from breakfast.
I did my 50 minutes of walking, and went 2.0 mph today- much higher than the past week. I also did my streches for what it's worth. I didn't feel much of a strech on most of them i think cuz i'm so heavy. i MIGHT do strength training tonight if i can get rid of this headache.
want to open presents soon, but i feel so lousy just not in the mood. i took a tylenol with codiene, but they didn't work last night. i hope it will work today.
dean and jerry are both sick, too. i'm just worried about dean with his lungs. we increased his flovent to 3 puffs a day until he can get rid of the cough. i pray he gets better soon.
Doing ok today. Walking 50 minutes everyday at 1.7- 2.0 mph.
On Christmas sil tried to talk me out of getting the band because she knows someone who's sister had surgery and has had one infection after another from it. She actually has ALWAYS tried to sabotage any weight loss efforts I have had in the past. She decided to give me ADVICE on what I should do about my weight. French, all in moderation. Blah, blah, blah. She also gives pointers to dh about how to quit smoking. It makes him SOOOO angry. No one asked her for advice. I wish she would just keep it to herself.
