What type of excersise do you do regularly

[maggie409 765]

I couldn't make myself start... Even walk regularly so I joined a gym and have a personal trainer that PROMISED me he would be mean and make me go. I go three days a week and he has me do the elliptical first then goes through some weights on various machines. When I started I went whopping 30 seconds on the elliptical before I thought I was going to die and the entire workout took about 15 mins tops. Now I can go 17 minutes on the elliptical and the entire workout takes over 40 minutes. I personally needed and still do need that person that I know is staring over my shoulder making me go. This has been the hardest part for me to make a habit. I even have an elliptical at home and don't touch it. This is my weakness. But I am determined to get better

What do you eat

I have a completely knee replacement with limited bend so I completely understand! It definitely limits what I can and cannot do. I am 15 weeks out so I am working on adding fruits and veggies into my diet. I am getting better. I still have some premixed shakes but only use them seldomly. The things I don't eat at all.... Breads (occasional whole grain slice of toast); rice, Pasta, processed foods, sweets, sodas, fried foods, caffeine.

I generally start with a scrambled eggs with turkey sausage crumbles and a Greek yogurt with my supplements. dinner will be a Protein with 1 cup of mixed greens and 1/3 cup of berries. I add a lite dressing. Supper again is a Protein with a vegetable. I will have a morning snack of nuts/cheese or fruit and 1/2 a Protein Shake. And afternoon snack is usually a yogurt. I also am addicted to SF Popsicles. I get between 750-850 calories a day and my nutrient count is usually protein-60-80gr; carbs 50-60; fats 28-less.
