It's a meager offering, but a heckuva lot better than what I used to do!

I just got to join a really great fitness center through work for FREE, so I hit it twice this weekend, and plan to go at least 4 times a week-they have Water aerobics, plus all the treadmills and bikes I could ever imagine... plus dance classes that I can go to in 2 weeks, when I am cleared for more extreme exertion!!

Ouch Angie about the basement...but you are so right...no other exercise works better than to clean up a mess you didn't want to do in the first place...hope everything is ok and nothing was damaged.

Guess that clothes hanger (oops I mean treadmill:lol:) is going to get dusted off.

Has anyone been to Fitday.com? I signed up yesterday it lets you track your weight, your daily food journal, excercise, goals, etc. etc. Plus it's free. I'm a numbers person so it helps me to see my progress in nice little charts.

Today I got on the treadmill did 35:25 (1.67 miles I think). Was a bit in pain on some of the incisions today don't know why...so I took it a bit slow. But got 'er done!

I have not posted since my initial challenge goal.

My goal was 15 min 4x a week and that was Friday???I think. So here it is:

Friday 25 min

Saturday 45 min to and from the park (plus played with kids at park)

Sunday 1 hour of yard work

Monday nothing...well cleaned....does that count??

Tuesday 20 min walk

BTW when I walk I push a 20 lb stroller with 2 BIG babies in it (30 lbs each)

I feel GREAT !!! I am down 10.6 lbs since my initial consult and 7.4 lbs since surgery almost 2 weeks ago.

I can't wait to get into pilates, yoga and kickboxing!!

Lets keep it up victorious valentines!!!!

CAN"T FIGURE OUT THE TICKER THING!!!! I can create it but when I cut and paste the link it does not work....any ideas?

      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.
