Nor'easter Nemo!



Recommended Posts

I wouldn't be a true New Englander if I didn't take a moment to complain about the weather. But this nor'easter in Boston is ridiiiiculouuus! I wonder when we'll be able to go outside again. Sunday?...Monday, maybe? Ah well, it's Beantown...we can take it. B) On the plus side, my arms are gonna be wicked jacked after all the shoveling is over!

I'm in NJ and it's not supposed to be so bad, but this is a test. You know snowstorms are the time for all to stock up on junk/treats/ice cream and eat. So far so good, gonna walk longer on my treadmill. It has been pretty much an uneventful winter so I'm not complaining. Have fun up there. Can't wait to see your snowman/woman! LOL

I'm staying inside, except to walk the pooch!

That's true, we've been really lucky so far this winter. You're so right about everyone and their mother stocking up on junk food (and booze) whenever there's a blizzard, heh heh. I'm gonna try to stay occupied with one thing or another till this thing is over....and I've already told myself that wing eating challenges don't count!! Good luck down there in NJ!

I dunno, but it must be A LOT!! I know it's high impact aerobic activity, and it works out pretty much every large muscle group in your body. Who needs a gym membership, eh?

Here in NH. So over it. We have about 6 inches now. There's a ban on driving. Massachusetts is 4 pm and NH 7 pm. It's a 500 dollar fine, so stay off the road! Stay safe everyone. I pray it's not going to be as bad as my local news say it is :(

I just LOL'd watching the news, when I heard the newscaster say: "and the governor is saying to Boston: Stay off the road, or else."

      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.
