OK, September is upon us! Time to think about your exercise goal.

I decided to make a goal of 30 mins 6 x per week. Total of 750 minutes.

Hey Gang....I got a new pair of Nike Shox...so no more excuses!!!! I'm going to try for every other day on the treadmill....that's 15 days @ 30 minutes for 450 minutes total. I'm really impressed with Suzzie and MM!

Toni --- 450 Minutes for September!

I want to be in this challenge but I have not completed July or August Challenge. Hunter is starting school on Wednesday and I am hoping that with only having Spencer at home I will have to time to exercise or at least take a walk. I am going to sign up for this challenge at 540 minutes. I will try to walk 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes either inside on the threadmill or put Spencer in the carriage and walk outside if it is nice out.

I've decided I need my weekends off, so my goal is going to be two hours a day, Mondy thru Friday. That about covers my bike ride every morning after I drop my son off at school. My goal is 2400. I HAVE to get to ONE-derland soon, and I want to be down to at least 175 for vacation at the beginning of November.

I am going to take it down a little form last month because on the 6th I got to go down to panama for 21 days for work and I don't know how much time I will have to excercise. I am going to try 60 mins a day 7 days a week. so I guess thats going to be 1800 mins total. Good luck everyone.

I was testing different gear combinations today on my ride, and have picked up my pace, so I need to change my goal to 2000 minutes. That's 100 minutes a day, Monday thru Friday. This is the minimum I will do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monthly Total = 100 Minutes

100 minutes bicycle

Monthly Total = 220 Minutes

60 minutes elliptical

60 minutes recumbent bike (hill trainer program)

(It's raining, so no trail ride today. :))

I went to a bike shop yesterday. The manager was so nice, had me bring my bike in and he set it up properly for me. Seat height and angle, handlebar height and angle, brake lever location. They actually measure the angle of your knee when you are in the saddle pedaling....I never knew it was so precise! I got some padded underlayers to go under my shorts, so hopefull my arse won't hurt so bad now! LOL And I was also having a problem with the circulation getting cut off in my hands after about eleven miles, so I got some gloves with gel pads in them. I was anxious to ride this morning to see if all this "junk" really helps, but it's raining and will be all week. Phooey!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
