excercising is fun...i swear...

I think I'm begining to love excercise. Yeah, I say that now right..No, really...I know it's not easy, I know it takes time, and I know it hurts like a bi..., but it's fun. I think its' the feeling I get now of..WOW..this is really making me feel better. I'm not saying that every bone in my body does not hurt, because let me tell you...THEY DO!!!! It's just that I know this pain is helping me get in shape. I have excercised before and never ever felt this good. I also know it has to do with the fact that now I will have a new tool to help me keep my good work off. Do you know what I mean? Now, I know that if i lose 30 or 40 pounds The Band is going to help me keep them off. The band will help me control myself...WOW!!! Enlightning... You know what I also LOVE..... The idea that now when the love of my life asks me to go bike riding...I won't have to make up an excuse not to go...If he asks me to go walking, I can now say, no baby, let's go jogging...or do you want to excercise...I can say...yeah, let's do some KICK BOXING!!!!!! I'm stoked! I'm siked! I'm estatic! I like this new me I'm starting to see....and feel....I hope many other bandsters feel the same because it's an exhilirating feeling!!! I CAN"T WAIT TILL FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 more days!!!!!!

AWESOME UPDATE!!!

:update: :update: :update: :update: OHH MYY LORD!!!! i went to the see the surgeon today and am I excited or what!!!!:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: I got the results of my lab work and everything was great..I LOST 2 more POUNDS!!!!:clap2: A little fatty liver, but he said it wasn't to much to worry about. He said if I can loose 5 pounds before the surgery it would be great...So, now I am on a 2 Protein shakes a day and a "sensible dinner.." Liquids the last 24 hours before surgery (my choice to do) and LOTS OF LIQUIDS (as always)..... After my appointment I went over to BJ's (similar to Cosco) and bought the Adkins shakes chocolate and vanilla (I had a chocolate one (YUCCKK!!!!) They are NOT very tasty...so I have to keep the choc ones and return the vanilla...I guess we'll just have to try other things...At Bj's met up with my bestest friend and her husband and we went walking:faint: I MEAN POWER WALKING.. We did 2 miles and had to stop because I got dizzy (weird) I guess the excitement got to me.I ate some skittles (i think it was due to low sugars) and felt MUCH BETTER! We decided to call it a day and come home...I picked up my children from school and here I am...I will have some Crystal Lite Ice Tea/Lemonade and maybe do some excercises on my excercise ball! 10 days and counting!!!!

All natural foods not so bad....

Long time no post...Reason, no weight loss and very busy. Yup. A little frustrated on the no weight losss but pretty excited about the NO WEIGHT gain!!!! Yeah it sounds weird but it's true. I am very excited about another thing. I found a few new snack that are great tasting as well as healthy and full of productive calories not empty ones. My husband and I found Whole Food's Supermarkets. Ok, I would of never went into this place a few months back because it just didn't interest me. plus, I never understood what it was about. Well, guess what... I love it now!!!! i found some Soy rice cakes, some honey roasted soy nuts, dried/baked veggies that really taste yummy. Even my kids loved it. I am so pleased that my kids loved it because no we can all enjoy a healthier lifestyle together!!! I also went to Trader Joe's (also another supermarket) and found some dried fruits and fruit snack that taste like fruit roll ups and only 70 calories!!!! HOLY SH... I can fill my sweet tooth!!!! So a heads up to all those sweet tooths out there...there are other healthier and "allowed" sweets out there, we just need to look for them in the right place!!!!!
