I always feel great afterward and yet there's still some old lazy voice tellimg me I don't really want to go. I'm learning how to shut that down and seek joy and health instead. A complete rewiring takes time, I guess, but I'm getting there. Here's to it!

one "like" wasn't enough... so....like, like, like, like, like!!!!

CG that chart above is quite interesting to me. ( thanks for posting it ) Wonder what you're burning between the 15-30 minute timeframe? I believe that the fat burning picks up intensity after a certain time, also depending on what you've ate/drank before working out.

This morning 5k run: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/433110082

Now off to the Dr. (PCP) for a checkup...physical, etc.

Hoping to get in a ride this afternoon, depending on what I hear from him....... :blink:

I will be banded next week, Monday the 27th. But I thought I would get a jump on the exercise, today I was at Disney World. I walked around both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot for several hours. Tomorrow, it is back to my regular workweek. Wake up and go to the gym by 5 AM, then had to work. I'm looking to go for 40 minutes on the elliptical tomorrow.

I'm hoping that after I am banded it won't take too long to get back to the gym. I'm also looking forward to taking my puppy dogs on walks around the lake more often.

I got up this morning remembered it was my Mothers 66th B. Day so I took my Protein Drink and then walked up and down my street as it has hills and inclines where I live so then I went to the store and bought a Carrot cake and I didn't even have a piece so proud of y self , then I went to a few stores to find a sweater that would fit her as she wears a 5x , but some just don't fit as some of us understand , then I fixed ground turkey tacos for the family and I had my chicken ceasar salad , then one more Protein drink and have been drinking Water all day but I got in a lot of walking today , so I guess I did for my first day off for my one week vacation from work , but at least I did get my but off the couch and did it.

I always start out my day planning my workout regime and psyching myself up with the best of intention. 5 min right before heading out to do it, i get discouraged and think what is the point.. (i'm in a stall)? After pushing myself out of the door, completing a 60min crossfit, + 60min kick boxing yesterday, i feel like i'm on top of the world again. Annoying mental cycle... today 8K jog after work.

      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.
