Well, they say exercising, but most of these just sound like stretches... if I do these, can I brag that I exercised???

Burn those Buns with a gluteal squeeze:

While sitting or standing, squeeze the muscles of your rear end. Hold, then relax.

I do this!!

By all means, I appreciate the ideas!! I just wanted to clarify :wink:

Like myplate says laundry burns calories.. I don't buy it! I mean, sure maybe what 10 calories? But I can't call it exercising. Wonder if Kegels actually burns calories?!

Hah!!

Well the drama with my sister & her gf never ends. I don't know if I told ya'll about last week how they're now engaged them my sister left for a trip to Florida for spring break with her ex.. that she cheated on her girlfriend for.

Drama drama drama.

Well today, her girlfriend (who works here), talked to her this morning, everything is hunky dorey.. then I walk pass and her head is on the table.. so I was like are you ok? And she talks but I can't understand a single word, her eyes rolling back in her head. She's on something. So I said are you sick? And she just says more stuff I can't understand. Friggin kids, I don't get them.

Laura-

Now that you mention it....I was snacking before I quit smoking. Maybe I'll just get my mouth sewn shut? Problem solved!

You would be surprised, Laura!! When I was wearing my Body Bugg (need to dust that thing off!) ANY movement was about 3-4x better than just sitting. That's why you hear Body Buggers saying that the device keeps them motivated to just keep moving!

Judy, I would follow the exercises at work but I already workout at work. That's one good thing about having this job.

Crystal, Welcome. Just chime in when you get the chance.

Today I have had 70 ounces of Water already. Yogurt for Breakfast. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and pineapple and a hard boiled egg for lunch. Am I doing ok?

Have a great day.

I vote for tomorrow morning. Why wait???

And BTW... the Bobster wants to join in the contest too. He said he'd love a silver necklace.:wink::tongue2: However if he does happen to win, could there be some kinda guy jewelry?? If he won the necklace you know I'd end up with it and that wouldn't be fair.

Yes, I can make him a 'dog tag', custom stamped with anything he wants on the tag!

I try to keep that in mind, on one of the interventions it was some anorexic girl.. talked about how she always fidgets, dances, etc.. just to burn calories.

I am more fidgety now anyway, but when I'm at my desk or watching a movie, I bounce my legs a LOT to the point where it annoys people.. just to get moving.. and I dance in the shower.. shh don't tell anyone.

      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.
