OK, This thread is dedicated to our new active lifestyles! Have a pic of you doing something active? Gardening, walking, or more? Lifting weights, camping, hiking.... horse back?

Let me start... heres one from my kayaking trip to Cosumnas River yesterday, and one from June Lake, Mammoth a couple of weeks ago. It fun to move!

When I miss one day walking or dance class it drives me crazy, I can only imagine having to take it easy for weeks on end!

We can use this one... I walked today, 3.13 miles.

I know thats not as much as is recommended, (closer to 5 miles-10,000 steps) but it seems to work for me. I do that much about 3 sometimes 4 times a week. I go with a group on tuesdays and thursdays from my day program. About 7-11 of us go walking in the neighborhood, sometimes to a nearby mall, sometimes I make them birdwatch!

Awesome! The challenge thread is getting to big to keep track.

Today I rode 20 miles on the recumbent bike.

I will try to do something at least 4 days a week.

Feed that looks like so much fun!

I like the fact that your exercise is something you enjoy. So far the only thing I found kinda fun is mountain biking and my husband seems to have cooled of on taking me these days..

Just saw this thread! I'll join in but I don't know how to post pics on here. I'll figure it out eventually...I keep saying I'm going to have my 13 or 10 year old show me bc they know how to do all that kind of stuff on computers. I tried hitting the buttons up on top when I reply to a topic but I didn't see anything up there that looked like I could pull up and post my pics from my laptop.

Monday I worked out an hour with my trainer. We did a lot of weight stuff. I had been focusing more on cardio but I keep having problems with pulling my calf muscle so I am doing more weight lifting again. I do lots of different kind of exercises but anything with heavy weight lifting is my favorite. I don't know why but I just love it! Anyway...

Tuesday night I did an hour boot camp.

Today is my day off. I will actually do some ab work later but I am really sore today so I am taking it easy.

      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.
