Oneflew,

Jogging 3 miles is motivation to me, even music to my ears. 4 miles of walking (briskly) is even better. Pretty soon you'll be reporting 10 mile walks without sweating or even being tired.

In the beginning of my biking regimine, I felt like I was going to die just biking 6.5 miles. Sometimes, I would just conk out on the sofa, dripping in sweat and scared I was going to suffer a heart attack. Now recently I did another 35 mile bike ride, pulled into my driveway and checked myself. There was not a single drip of sweat on my face, neck or chest. Not good. I should have peddled harder till I broke a sweat.

Info for those who may not know:

Walking 4 miles briskly, arms swaying - is the same as running a mile very hard. Running a short distance is great calorie and cardio worker, but walking briskly for longer periods of time provide more benefit to your overall physical fitness. It will condition your body, along provide you with all of the cardio challenge and calorie burning you get from a quick run/jog as well as increase your endurance.

Also too, it's a good thing to constantly challenge yourself. It's not highly effective to walk at a pace of 3.0 mph on your treadmill every day for 15 weeks. Do your body right and see maximum results by just simply, increasing your incline and pace by 1.0 each week or every few weeks.

Stop wasting your time!

Lastly.. if you are at the gym and you look over and see a girl walking on a treadmill next to you, avidly reading a magazine.... she's not doing herself a favor. In fact, she's wasting her time. You should be huffing, puffing, sweating and flustered if your butt is on a treadmill. That's how you know you are in the cardio and fat burning zone. That's how you know you aren't wasting valuable time.

Thanks Telly!!!!!

My jogs are on the track, or around my house, up and down hills. uggghhh. Recently though when my son, who is playing pop warner and practices from 6-8pm (still been 100 degrees here), then that's when I go, otherwise I'm just sitting on my butt in my chair, armchair quarterbacking his performance. (he's pretty patient with me, but he'd rather I do laps too!) Thanks again for the feedback/support. You're the best!

Telly, I can't wait unti I can keep up with you!!

So far today:

15 min. 3 mph 5% incline

10 min. 3.3 mph 5% incline

5 min. 4 mph 0% incline

This was an increase for me to do the 3.3 :o and I only did that because Telly said if you're not huffing and puffing you are wasting your time.. Hmpf! I don't have time to waste. Thanks for the heads up Telly.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
