Day 14 and just can't get motivated to get on the treadmill....

Help!!! I can't get motivated to get my butt on the treadmill. I'm definitely a morning workout person. But, if I don't do it right away.. FORGET ABOUT IT!!! It's been 14 days since I was banded, and I think I was on the treadmill a total of 4 times. I have 2 small children (ages 3 & 4), and honestly don't get a second for myself all day. My husband and I have been talking about joining a gym, but not sure if we can afford it. I think it would be the best thing if we could. To be able to workout uninterrupted.. (I wonder what that would be like).... I go for my 2 week follow up on Tuesday. I recently had to have an emergency follow up, due to an infection at my port site. I was weighed and lost 10lbs in 9 days( yay!! GO me Go me).. But, I know if I don't get my butt moving this isn't going to turn out well..   How do you get yourself motivated??????

Banded Day 4

So far so good. Went in Monday (May 2nd) to get banded, and a new plication procedure done. Never had any nausea or vomiting, pain was a minimal. Released from the hospital Tuesday evening. Tuesday evening went well. Had a hard time finding a comfy spot to sleep in, in our bed. I think I was up every hour to hour 1/2. Wednesday was pretty good. I was starting to get a headache. I was drinking my water/liquids, but it definitely wasn't enough. I think all the sugar free things kind of got to me also. So, I started drinking plain apple juice and Gatorade. Once I think my body balanced back out, my headache went away. One more day of clear liquids, and then I can start full liquids. I'm excited to start the protein shakes, so I can get some energy.

NSV.. and celebrating highest weight and surgery weight losses..

2 1/2 weeks later.. my NSV(non scale victory) is I am down 2 guchies sizes (for you non Western Pennsylvania people, that means underwear, and it is an actual word). :bananajump: Also.. do you celebrate your highest weight loss or what you weighed right before surgery or BOTH?? From when I started this journey 8 months ago, I am down 39lbs.. Since my surgery I am down 25lbs...:thumbsup:

Day 6.. and feeling GREAT!!

I can't believe I feel this good, this soon. Started full liquids on Friday. The first day was a little rocky. But, by the end of the evening I think I figured it out. It will be nice to get some energy. I'm over being tired so quickly. Started the treadmill yesterday(day 5), only did 10mins @1.2mph.. I know don't get all excited now.. I didn't want to push it, cause i have been feeling that good. Today, I did 10 mins in the morning, and 20 mins this evening. This evening I bumped it up to 1.4mph and that was enough. Tomorrow I plan on doing 2/20mins walks. My meals for the next 2 weeks consist of these simple things.   Breakfast - 4oz Carnation Instant (sugar free) Chocolate powder w/1/2 cup skim milk   Between - water and 8oz protein shake (Worldwide pure protein, 35 grams protein, 4 grams carbs)   Lunch - 4oz fat free yogurt   Between - water and 8oz protein shake   Dinner - 4oz low fat cream soup( I think I made it to thick yesterday, so I'll be thinning it down today)   and then of course more WATER WATER WATER.....
