Okay, first the bad news for the week. I gained a 1/2 pound this week. Ugh. That is made even worse by the fact that it is only the 2nd week after a fill and I had a two pound loss going into the holiday weekend. Double ugh. Whatever possessed me to eat a bunch of ice cream, candy and cookies? What's up with that?

On a positive note, I have been very true to my exercise committment. I've been thinking that that I have done well with a fitness goal and started to think about what I will do after my 8 week committment is over. I think that I am leaning toward a "Couch to 5K" program. I hate running, but it isn't THAT far and with a goal to achieve...I just might be able to do it.

Monday-10 min on the treadmill.

Tuesday-30 min on the elliptical.

Wednesday-hour with personal trainer.

Thursday-30 min on the elliptical.

Friday-hour with personal trainer.

Saturday-hour of Jazzercise.

Sunday-25 min on the treadmill.

I'm pleased that I worked out 7 times (every day!), but I'm disappointed that it only adds up to 3 1/2 hours. I would really like to be more at the 5-6 hour range. There is work to be done! :tongue:

I have four more weeks in my exercise program. So, I will focus on putting in as much time as possible!

I feel better and truly that is the most important thing!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Have a great week!!

You are exercising, U R doing better than me. I have had beginner's luck I think. As of today I have 4 weeks behind me. 10 days liquid pre-op, surgery, liquuids & now mushy stuff. I have lost 31 1/2 so far. I know it can't go on like this much longer!! Question - so you don't get that dumping syndrome when you eat cookies & ice cream??

I'm not sure I know what dumping is? Cookies & ice cream go down swell for me!

Really good news is that I was down 3 pounds this morning which means that yesterday's gain was just bloating of some sort. YAY!!
