It only takes one person, no matter who, to get another one motivated. So, if you do your exercise, regardless of what it is, post it and it will motivate someone else to move it too! :D:D:D

MOVE IT AND LOSE IT :banana :banana :banana

Leatha I am going through the same thing as far as my pulse being too high the last two nights. Tonight, it was in the 80% the first time I checked and the next time it was over the Way over the 90!!!! They made me stop. I really didn't feel like I was that over exerting. I was still talking-I thought that was supposed to be a sign that you are ok. I do not have High BP or anything as serious as a pulmonary embolism(whatever in the hell that is!?) ;-) but I am frustrated. My Curves lady said that it is probably high because I have been under a ton of stress with Steven being out of work. Could that be it? Anywho-she said I needed to go to the dr.

On the LIGHTER side of things----I HAVE LOST 5 ---- COUNT THEM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE POUNDS!!!!!! I had to get off and on the scale three times before I could believe it!!! ;-)

I did 30 minutes on the motel treadmill, then stopped at the outlet mall and bought a new exercise outfit. :D Size Large (Down from XXL) :D Now I will look hot (not sweaty) when I exercise!

It sounds like everyone is doing great! Way to go, Ladies!

I'm back!!!! And I finally met my own challenge!

I have been to the gym every morning for the past 3 days. I have been doing 35 minutes or about 3 miles on the elliptical trainer. Then on Wednesday I did a full lower body weight work out - I am still sore from that one. Yesterday I did a full uper body weight work out (chest/back/shoulders) Today, since I was sore, no weights, but I added another 20 minutes on the stationary bike for 8 miles.

I have to go out of town tomorrow for a conference, and I won't be back home until Wednesday night. I could tell you that I'm going to use the hotel training facilities - but it would be a lie.

I am going to use the spa though - to get a facial and a massage!!

Good going, girlies! Where are the men today? I met my exercise challenge for the whole week, yippee! And today's my 6 month weigh-in, so I'm actually skipping around the office with joy!

Betty, I wouldn't get another port, but we all know how fickle our little bands are. I hear people suddenly lose restriction. I lose restriction, but it seems to come back just in time. I'm on constant alert. If my restriction goes away, people on the 5 Freeway better pull over, cuz I'll be speeding to Tijuana or a new port!

      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!!
