April 2006 Bandits September Challenge



Recommended Posts

Thanks Julie. As long as it doesn't irritate everyone else I'll leave it as it is. I'm hoping after the holiday the group will get larger. I am so impressed that after a hard day you got off your couch and went to the gym!!! Sixty min. on the Elliptical?????? Your my new hero!!

Do have a safe trip, the weather is supposed to be miserable tomorrow. Here on Long Island we're expecting at least 2 inches of rain. The roads will be bad and getting a flight out should be tough too. At any rate... have a good time.

Ok, I am posting this because I feel the need to be completely honest and fess up and am hoping to be severely reprimanded in the process. I was and still am very pumped about the September challenge. Last night, I had my tennies on, my dog on the leash and was getting ready to head out the door for a vigourous walk. Out come my daughter and hubby and say "Hey, lets head to Marble Slab for ice cream, we haven't been there in ages." Needless to say, Marble Slab won and I didn't get my exercise in.

Hi guys!!

Hey Roberta, I signed up too!!! I didn't get to do my first session, the girls who do the machine training, had left for the long weekend, so will begin on Tuesday. I have however continued to do my walking, and even had a game of chase with the granddaughter!!! I am aiming for 30 minutes EVERY day this month of some sort of exercise. Be it Curves, or dancing with the grandbabies...something!

Susan, that's the best thing I have found about this band, it is there, waiting for me...and ready to get back to work the next day! We all have days where we might not make the wisest food choices...but that does not mean it was not the wisest decision in other ways. Someday your daughter will be off to college, or married, and by then you will be long ago at goal weight, and it will not have mattered that one day you ate ice cream rather than walked...but having the special time with DH & DD...that will matter! We will be here ready to getcha when you really need it!!!

Hey Kat, I'm a firm believer that exercise is exercise. So do whatever works for you. You have a great goal of exercising everyday.

Susan: no beating for you, not even with a wet noddle! There are 28 more days in the month and I have not doubt that you are serious about this challenge. I agree with Kat, spending time with your family is priceless, and the Band is very forgiving. Tomorrow is another day.

LapBandit: welcome to our group!! You and Julie are off to a great start.

We can do this !!! This month is going to be the start of REGULAR exercise for me and I am determined to keep this up after September. So, if anyone sees me slipping, please, please give me a kick in the pants and jump start me!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I passed up on the ice cream yesterday and got on my treadmill instead. I can't add my exercise to my signature post because apparently my sigy is too long already. So I am just going to keep track of mine on this thread and cut and paste it.

September Exercise Challenge:

9/1: None

9/2: Ice Cream instead of exercise, bad me.

9/3: 30 minutes on the treadmill!

Way to go for getting that exercise in even with a house full of company, Betty. WOOHOO!

I'm visiting friends in NC for the long weekend, but today, I took their baby out for a long walk (uphill, I might add). I would NOT have done this, but for this challenge! TWO down, 13 or more to go....

Had a great day - walked for Breakfast (we walk to a great little local restaurant a couple of times a week - about 3 miles round trip - had a veggie omlette and fruit - my husband Alan and I split it and then I split my half again and give that to him also-----comes with fruit and a scoop of cottage cheese - perfect!!!!)........:hungry:

Hope all of you are hard at it - better be, because I'm going to kick butt and all of you can't let an old 66 year young grammy do that to you!!!!:biggrin1:

      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.
