Spicy Meatball 0 Posted July 31, 2011 Tuesday August 2nd marks day one of a lifelong journey to better health and wellness. Having completed all the pre-operative components, it culminates on this one day-a new beginning. I am excited with anticipation, and nervous about my ability to see this lifestyle change through. In reading the many posts over the last several months, I feel well equipped to charge forward with my new life. I hope to remain connected with this forum to learn continued good habits, and to be forever inspired by my peers. Experiencing the success of others before me uplifts my spirits, giving me the courage to carry on. I plan to take advantage of the first 9 months, trying to lose 90% of my excess body weight, by following the daily consumption suggestions of: aiming caloric intake to around 800, limiting net carbohydrate to 40g, and pushing Protein to over 70g. I will do whatever it takes to exercise 4-5 times per week incorporating both cardio and weight training. I have weight trained before, but only sporadically. I have done some cardio, but without devotion. Now is the time to dedicate myself without reservation to this new life. In combination, these elements when followed eagerly, I can expect the results I hope for. There is little more than 1 day left before my scheduled surgery, and I am ready to rock this sleeve.
