I usually work out during my lunch hour. I work at a fire station so we have a fitness room, no excuses. I do about 20 minutes of treadmill and jog for a minutes here and there. Then I do light weights many repetitions for a good 30mins 4-5 days a week. I also do 2-3 of kickboxing a week for 50 mins. The scale has not moved for a few months and its dissapointing because I won't be meeting my goal of 100 by march Anyways, my body is shaping up and my clothes fit alot lose. I look horrible in my current clothes and new new ones asap. But basically i was told that I was building muscle and losing fat with NSV. People say numbers don't matter but they sure do to me lol!. Havent' been on this site for a while. It is very encouraging to read your profile and see how well you have done with the lab band. Lately I been reading alot of negative outcomes in a different site and I been feeling a bit depressing over it and I am already thinking of what I should do if something goes wrong with my band. So far everything has been going very well and I have been on the green zone for a good 2 months. Have a nice day all!

Hung a small TV in my room with the wall mount. That about wiped me out! On Monday I get to start using full liquids, I hope that gives me more energy. This clear liquid stage of the diet really sucks.

If I could put my face on here it would be me lol , as people are noticing them and have commented wich I don't ind I just say that I am planning a vacation and with them it will be cheaper for me to fly .

came home and did step aerobics DVD

30 minutes....focused hard on my upper arms......flapping in north carolina

I think I had let you know , and if I did or didn't well it does get better and so will you, welcome to the band side. and do you and what is right for you , don't copare your self to any one else as we are all different body and mind types.

Just catching up on this thread -- so inspiring, the running, C25k, etc. But it's the biking that is settling into my consciousness. I am visualizing getting a new bike this spring -- one I can get up on to the top of the car on my own. And then to drive to the bike paths scattered throughout the area. I really want to do that. Today made a date for a walk around the lake with a friend who knows how to go at a good clip. There's a dog we can barely keep up with to keep us speeding along and we talk a lot so it's a good breathless walk. Grateful for warm enough temps to be outdoors this weekend. Thanks for the perking up this morning -- these bander threads really help me with the get up and go.

My exercise today is house work. Swept and washed my tile floors. Whole house is ceramic tile. Cleaning is a workout, we ladies know!

Bandista,

As a suggestion

There are carriers that will attach to the back of cars via a hitch method or "on the trunk" style. Maybe one of these would be easier than putting it on top...Happy riding!

12.5km run outside this afternoon....and the last 20 minutes were in the rain. Better than a treadmill any day!

After only two weeks (one week post op) I'm back at a weight where I can get back into my kayak! By the time the weather (water) warms up, i will be back paddling in the alligator infested waters again. A return to the excitement of my little boat.

In the mean time, I am trying to walk several times a day. Monday I go back to work. Lots more movement.

walked yesterday

and just got back from a 2 mile wak w/hub and kabo

it is 65 outside and it felt wonderful...def got me out of the winter doldrums even for a bit

Happy Sunday Funday

Last year I was playing the Super bowl the drinking game. This year I will be playing Super Bowl the exercise game. Here are the rules of the game for every touchdown it 10 jumping jacks. For every sack it is one push up. Every time out or reviewing I will run in place. If the Broncos win I will have a rest day because I know they got this. Feel free to join me.

30 minute run outside today. Then an hour to warm my hands back up! Ha! Happy Monday
