Afternoon Warriors!

Walked on Wednesday - morning and lunchtime. Beat my previous time for my lunchtime 1.5 miles walk, so it's time to extend my distance. I am trying to keep the time constant at 30 minutes, so if I get faster, I walk farther.

No rowing last night - tried to eat some chicken and spent over an hour sliming and pb'ing. Teach me to chew better! :)

Today I walked DDog this morning and walked at lunchtime. Will try to get in rowing tonight, but I'm back in class now and my time is going to get even tighter. No matter - it's only 30 minutes and I can find that.

Going dancing for a short while tonight with DH - theres a club that plays 60's and 70's music on Thursdays, so we're gonna stretch and go to that tonight. Actually, its only a stretch for me - he's on the afternoon shift and can sleep later in the morning if he wants!

I missed my Pilates class so I decided to take a rest day. I think it will be good for my back.

Last night was upper body supersets. 8 exercises/12 supersets/10 reps each/13 pushups btwn each superset.

No cardio last night as we got 7" of snow btwn noon and 7 pm yesterday. Took me too long to get to the gym and then had to go home and snowblow the drive.

This morning I went for distance on the treadmill instead of time. Just did a nice jog of 40 minutes and 4.0 miles. Followed that with 10 minute cooldown.

Tonight, hopefully, will be leg supersets. If not tonight, tomorrow during the day.

I did stationary bike today because we're going to run tomorrow instead of bike at my New to the Sport session.

I need to figure out how to get some strength training and another swim into my week to make my fitness goals.

      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.
