    Getting my Thread on because this is where I'm going to journal all my Thoughts and Daily updates as I go through that crazy workout routine AKA Shaun T's Insanity!
    Scared and Curious at the same time. I've already taken my Befores and I do plan to keep taking weekly photos. Should be fun!!! Not only do I want to see the Afters but the In-Betweens can be just as telling and motivating. It's nice to get an idea on how far you've come as well as how far you need to go. It sure helps when traveling more than a hundred miles, seeing the road signs along the way. 60 Miles to HOME.
    Looking forward to it all, and it will be nice to have a few of you reading along!!! Especially if any of you have ever given this routine any thought. Well, you will get second hand experience through my journal.
    So the routine begins Early AM Monday Morning. According to the Workout Calendar that is the day it says to start. It also calls to have Sundays off. Now, I'm used to taking Mondays off, but I really want and NEED to stick to the plan so I'll just go along with Sundays. Who knows, maybe I'll like them better.
    Anyhow, along with that routine I'm moving my "machines" to the evening hours. THAT'S gonna be tough!! But, I have to do it because I'm re-training for a 5K event in May.
    So here's how my weekly workout routine will look for the next 8-10 Weeks.
    Sunday: Off
    Monday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 50 Minutes on the Treadmill; 30 Mins Light Toning
    Tuesday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 20 Mins Stationary Bike; 30 Minutes Elliptical
    Wednesday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 50 Minutes on the Treadmill; 30 Mins Light Toning
    Thursday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 20 Mins Stationary Bike; 30 Minutes Elliptical
    Friday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 50 Minutes on the Treadmill; 30 Mins Light Toning
    Saturday: 4AM - Insanity! 4PM - 20 Mins Stationary Bike; 30 Minutes Elliptical
    Am I crazy? Probably... but this is what my life's going to look like for the rest of March through May!! Bring it!!

    nateeks got a reaction from carbgrl in Post-Op Discouragement   
    i would suggest you make an appointment to see your gastro. i had/have the same difficulties as my esophagus was irritated due to reflux (GERD) issue . nexium 40mg helped with the acid issues and on really bad days, I take metoclopramide as needed 20 mins before meals to relax the esophagus. good luck!

    nateeks reacted to SuperMom in Weight Loss Stall -- Need Help   
    I notice if I don't get the Protein in I stall. Also I noticed when I stopped Vitamins for a couple of weeks I stalled. The protein is what makes me feel full and not snack on bad stuff.
    When you get the nibbles try string cheese, baby bel cheese, walnuts, pecans, a piece of rotissery chicken with cream cheese spread on it.....etc....eat something good!!!
    It is not about eating less (well with the sleeve you will anyway) but about eating the RIGHT things.
    Good luck!!! I know how a stall feels.....I was stuck in one for two months and it just started to move again.
