Looking great and thanks for continue to be an inspiration to me

Signed up for training for warriors program at my gym and today I did two back to back classes my reg class and then we did one in the park to advertise. It was awesome I may have been a bit slower the second class but I was stronger than last week . I was so proud of myself I almost cried on my drive home to think how far I have come in the past 5 months.

The others have said such great things so I'm offering heartfelt hugs:) for this temporary situation it is a process and think how far you gave come and will be going xoxo

Stay focused this is a journey and you will get there and soon it won't be so bad when you get ur fills 2 days in liquid will be a breeze. N remember "we" are here fir you.

Love spin great for the body b the mind enjoy the ride

Yes I know puking is bad.. I started this new high intensity training class at the gym. I got severe abdominal cramps and then i threw up slightly and some other issues as I am a lady Ill spare the details. The trainer does not know i am banded and I usually don't eat before working out cause my system doesn't like early morning meals. usually my vitamins and coffee pre workout and then protein post workout. Im not worried I hurt my band as it was minimal and I don't vomit often. I handled my bathroomish business a missed one loop of the training and then continued to do class . He said I must eat a little something prior to this class as my body needs fuel. One trainer suggested peanut butter on a piece of toast I Was wondering what other's eat. My initial thoughts is a protein shake as i do best with liquids as soon as I wake up. My NSV is I'm not giving up on this class. Its supposed to be an 8 week transformation program. I measured my self today to track changes. I plan by week 8 making it through with no issues what so ever:) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

how is your recovery going how are you feeling?
