No legs/cardio last night, lazy:frown:.

This morning, 3.1 miles @ 1% incline in 30 minutes. Followed with 10 minutes of walking and 15 minutes on elliptical.

Tonight, I will try again to get legs in. We'll see.:cursing:

As you can see in my auto sig, I am 1 wk ahead of my goal of 10 miles/wk. Knees are holding up GREAT!

Yesterday: 60 minute treadmill 4% incline for 3.40 miles jogging and running.:cursing:

Today: 60 minutes of slow walking 5% incline 2.68 miles. Really sore on my left hip.

Lulu: Get back into the swing of school is so hard, but once you find your rhythm, I have no doubt you will complete your program.

I just need to find my rhythm, so I can turn in my thesis and argue it in front of the oral board..so close...:)

Today I did my first "New to the Sport" workout. It was a coached bike ride. I sucked. :cursing: But I had fun. We went for 16 miles and, unlike my typical rides, there were hills.

Afterwards I dropped my bike off at the bike shop because I'm sick of the front derailer not actually changing gears when I press it. Plus, it became very clear that my seat is too low.

Great work by every one! Today I got busy for the first time in months. 20 minutes on the stationary bike and 20 minutes on the treadmill. I actually jogged for five of the 20 minutes in 2.5 minute intervals. First time I've jogged in over 25 years. Felt great!

Hey, guys, I just returned from our girl's day/night out and for the first time I played Wii. OMG, it was so much fum. I bowled a 180. I have never bowled. And I boxed, which worked up a sweat! I am addicted.

I went to a swim clinic. We swam for about 1 hour 30 min and I got to see a video of myself swimming where I realized it looks like I never move my feet. Hmmm.

i'm a bit hooked on tennis & golf right now.

DH bought tiger woods 09' golf & i'm hoping it takes a few strokes of my "real" game...LOL

also if you like yoga - that is another decent activity on wii.

today - heading to the gym will do an hr of cardio: treadmill/stairmaster.....as soon as i can find my running shoes - have a dog that likes to hide them on me.:)

      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.
