  1. Gym Not My Bff

    · Who's That Girl · 01/21/2012 16:31

    OK I did it. I went to the gym this morning and i did three miles between the Elliptical and Treadmill ... Yay Me! Why can't i like the gym as much as I love food. I suppose if I did I wouldn't be in the shape that i'm in ow. Anywho, I've made a promise to myself and that promise is to go to the gym at least 4 times per week and accept nothing less than 2 miles each visit. Post surgery this is going to be so very important so I need to figure out ways to make going to the gym enjoyable. Seriously, how hard can it be to go to the gym four days a week. I can do this! I can do this1 24 hour fitness is literally around the corner from my house - no frickin excuse.... Next step - add weights for toning.....Gotta love it!

  2. Well I did it. I have never in my life cleaned out my pantry and tossed out anything but I did this morning. Out with the crap, the snack food and anything else that may interfere in my pre/post progress. Better to get in front of this now so that it's not an issue for me post surgery. It's amazing how much money is spent on "comfort" food. I've heard that my taste buds will change. I wonder what it will feel like to see the crap that I used to stuff my face with and have no desire for it.... Not sure what my new addiction will be. I'm already addicted to shoes and purses and Lord knows i don't need anymore of those. Let's try something healthy.....Hmmm I'll keep working on that.
     
    Smooches to self - proud of you girl!
     

  3. Went to see the Michael Jackson Cirque De Soleil show tonight. Awesome is an understatement. I knew I was a little out of shape but it was confirmed when i couldn't hike three flights of stairs to the arena. By the time i got to the top of the 2nd flight i didn't think i would make it but i pushed trough.....Unbelievable. Say it ain't so. I can't climb 3 lousy flights of stairs without huffing and puffing. Lord, lugging around the extra weight is such a bummer.
     
    The 130lb siamese twin that is attached to me has to go. I'm not sure when this all happened but hopefully I won't have to deal with it much longer. Tomorrow is a new day and will be my first official day of getting things in place for my new lie. I'll start with 30 minutes on the treadmill at 24 Hour Fitness and then I'll come home and clear the pantry of anything that will no longer be needed. If I start now, the transition won't be so hard later. Can't wait for the day that I can run up those same stairs and hen re-read this blog....
     
     

  4. Just a note to myself: from today on I am going to focus on on the good that will come from having WLS instead of obsessing and focusing on all of the things that can go wrong. I've been looking at this forum and the comments and everyone seems to be so upbeat and excited and I start to wonder if i'm the only one that is scared shitless of doing this. I've allowed myself to become hostage to my fears, the unknowns and obsessing over what could go wrong. Time to redirect my energy and let it be what it will be....Time to start thinking about what it will feel like to be hot again You go girl!
