It's time to start really exercising!

Nov 11, 2014

Well I made it to my first goal... Under 400 lbs. I am now 395! This is exciting, but at the same time I've been at the same weight for a few weeks. I haven't been taking my diet very seriously on the weekends.

So I think it's time to start focusing on exercise. I extended my preop weightloss program to 6 months, and these last 3 will be a good time to learn everything I need to know to be successful after surgery. I can get on an exercise bike or an elliptical machine, but as for weight training/muscle strengthening I have NO IDEA.

I'm going to join the gym at OSU where I take my classes. I think it is the best choice for me. I'm going to go tonight and ask about signing up.

Unlike my last entry, I have started to feel a difference in my clothes. I have gotten my old dress pants out of the closet. Most of them fit, and most of them needed the button sewn back on them. I must have worn them until the button literally popped off! It is a great feeling to be wearing those again after a year or year and a half.

It is likely my surgery will be in February or March of 2015. I'm learning and changing so much, I don't feel in a big rush. I think by then I will be ready.

Also my insurance changed their lifetime bariatric maximum from 10,000 to 20,000. That means I don't pay anything unless the surgery costs over 20,000. What a relief! That was DEFINITELY worth the wait.
