Chronicles of Cloe!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Question....Question.....

I have a Katrillion Club Z points, so I was looking threw the catalogue and saw on page 60 a 'elliptical machine', (you know, the one that Mandi looks sooo hot on). I was wondering if anyone has a catalogue out there, if it was a good machine or a cheap one. I didnt even know what one was til the other day, but I'm contimplating getting one. Thanks.

Cloe if you want my advice (and I guess it doesn't really matter if you want it or not cause you are going to get in anyway) is to try out the machine before you buy it. I got an eliptical because it was cheaper than gettting a treadmill and because it looked like a better workout but seriously the machine kills me. I am on it for like 5 min before my knees go all shakey and then I force myself to stay on it for another 5 to 10 depending on how much I can take. It's weird because when I bought the machine I was running so it's not like I was supper unfit or that my knees are bad and was just trying something for the first time. Some people are great at the eliptical and can just glide like a gazelle but on that machine I am just a dying sacraficial antelope waiting for the lion.

Anyway my advice is to try it first :lost1.5lbs:

Yep, the Dame is right. Check it out. My doc loves the machine and I don't like it at all. I prefer the treadmill; I guess it reminds me of life.:phanvan

Cloe....definitely go to a gym or something first to try out an elliptical before you purchase one.....(take a gym up in a free trial day or something). You either love it or hate it and it would be a shame if you were in the latter category!

Me....I love it!

At the gym, I pick the elliptical over the treadmill anytime. It took a while to get used to the eilliptical but everyday I could spend more and more time on it. I would like to own one but I keep thinking of the expensive treadmill we own that is never used. Actually that's not true, it makes a very good clothes line.

Yes, yes... careful with that. Try one first. (for several minutes!) You freaks who can last more than 5 minutes on it... AHHH!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
