My ultimate goal is to do cardio morning & evening and weights 3 x's per week. I'm having a hard time getting up at 5 am, but I am doing it in the evenings. I set my alarm every morning, however, I just push snooze and go back to sleep.:notagree

Okay, and then comes me. My goal is to go to the gym at least 3 times a week for the month of March. My hidden goal is 4x. So far this week, I've gone once. I intend to go tonight, so I will let you know how it turns out.

Ok, My goal is to walk 30 minutes 5 times/week. On the "lucky / easy" days I'll do the treadmill at the Gym for 30 minutes plus 20-30 minutes on the weight machine. (lucky because our terrain here is forest and hills - YUK!)

Gigi - girl you go! 45 min on the Elliptical is great, I'm only able to do 20 min.

Okay, I'm so motivated to exercise, I've been twice, Monday & Tuesday night. So today, on break, I take a 15 min break and walk 1 mile briskly. So, I'm going to take every opportunity to get as much exercise in as possible. I will also go exercise tonight at the gym.

Lets report on Monday's what we accomplished the previous week - i.e. how many times we exercised, no matter what type of exercise, exercise is exercise. We all just need to challenge ourselves. Keep a promise to ourselves and exercise. The Lap Band book I have says we should get 30 min every day. Or strive for 5 x's a week. I'm striving for that, but I think we have to build ourselves up to that.

In the past, I find that when I exercise, the more I exercise, the more I crave it. It starts to become second nature to you. Its just hard getting into the swing of it. It takes 3 weeks to make it a habit, so remember that.

If you guys want, we could post meals. I post mine in my journal (my link is at the bottom of my signature). We can either keep a our own journal with our meals, or if you guys want to post it here, we can do that too. Whatever you guys want.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
