Joined The Gym Today.



Recommended Posts

Since starting this journey I have been resisting exercise. I know that I need to, but just couldn't motivate myself. I've been warming myself up to the idea and researching gyms in the area and finally took the plunge today. I joined Planet Fitness. I was very impressed with the facility and the fact that they are open 24/7 so I can go anytime of the day/nite (as long as I can get a sitter). I worked out today and felt great. Why do I resist when I know working out makes me feel sooooo much better?

I teach long hours so I can't join a fitness club until June. I went there last summer and loved it. Now I can't wait, even more, since I'll be working out with so much weight lost already!!

My husband has belonged to our local health club for some time but not me. My excuse was always, it's too expensive, we can't afford it, I can't make time, yadda yadda.....well I called them and it would be $46 more a month for me to join. They do have a $100 enrollment fee which they will run a special on and waive that starting May 30. Guess what I'm gonna do? Time to get off my butt. All that time I used to spend laying on the couch thinking about what I was gonna do and when is gonna get spent in the health club so I can get healthy and fit. I said when I started this journey, it's time for a new life and big changes. Oh and I am one lazy person!! Wish me motivation!! :D

      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.
