What To Do On Weekends


o00

Recommended Posts

I own a horse so spend my weekends at the barn.

If you like animals volunteer at a local shelter. The dogs always need to be walked.

You could start horseback riding as an adult.

There may be other volunteer opportunities at the library, nursing homes, food pantry, homeless shelters, local rec center.

If you look around Facebook you may be able to find local clubs for hiking, biking, walking, rock-climbing, geocaching, bird watching, photography, kayaking.

I see ads on Craigslist for work-out partners at particular local gyms. (m4f workout partner at Final Results in Anytown, CA). As long as you meet at the gym it should be safe. You can put an ad on CL for a same sex work-out partner at your gym. Ask the personal trainer at your gym they may know somebody.

Our local school district has adult education classes- most are during the week at night but they have some trips and classes on Saturdays.

Not to be crude........but my weekends are all about resting and recouping from the workweek.......and keeping the bedroom lively.

Occasionally, I'll throw something on the grill to gnaw on.

Life is good.

I know this is sedentary, but I started reading more and coloring the adult coloring books. With something in my hands, I keep myself busy and don't get tempted to go into the kitchen out of boredom and grab something to eat

I got my license to carry and plan to do some shooting practice to keep myself busy and hands occupied, away from the fridge!

      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.
