my new/old friend......elliptical :)



Recommended Posts

okay, so i did it! whoohoo.....i became friends with my treadmill today......i finally did it....

okay, so it was all of 3 minutes....but i did it. I have been avoiding it for so long. 3 mins was all i could handle....thats pretty bad. My plan is to get up 5 mins earlier tomorrow and work my way up to 20-30 minutes every morn.

Does everyone feel that exercise will help meet their goals? if so, do you and what do you do?

Well (raising my glass of water) heres to tackling this new love/hate relationship with my new/old friend>>>>>>>elliptical.

hugs to all, Debbie:thumbup:

I believe exercise is key to me losing the remainder of my weight. I started Water aerobics about 5 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I really don't like missing it and I never thought I would say that.

It is key to toning up and feeling better and I am glad that I am doing it. So much so that yesterday I went to 2 classes and I could walk this morning but I love how I am losing sizes. I dropped a dress size in 5 weeks. I am now a size 20 and I haven't been that size since 1990. Woo-hoo.

Good luck...even though it is not alot right now wait until it is 20-30 minutes you will be so proud of yourself.

Best wishes,

Cindy

      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.
