Getting the ball rolling....

May 13, 2009

Mother's Day marked 17 months post op. To date I have accopmlished 65 pounds gone, gone from 24/26 to 18/20, lost a shoe size!  At this point I have gained 10 pounds back, complacency, and at the same time a greater sense of confidence.

I look at before and after pics and talk to other post ops and listne to their story and hear about working out and was still sitting still. I've been at the same spot for 6 months...why... the mosst obvious reason I haven't been exercising and I have eaten what I want.  I'd also been away from my support...some of my support. OH BAF & Lap-band forums have helped me. you need to be in contact, I think, with people familiar with your struggle....familiar with the ups & downs...being tight in the morning...wide open at night...the band that is!

Upon return to the BAF fold I joined a challenge...first day in...no hesitation...but it took me 3 weeks to get started. I picked up an accountability partner...and got up off my butt and started moving...I have a goal that I have set forth for my self and I intend to reash it..or get pretty damn close!

This was my promise:

I may change this but lookin at 50 pounds by Labor day...

   I DIva1969 promise to:

1. Alternate days of aerobic exercise and weight training, with one day of rest
2. Drink more water

I have amended this to a work out program of cardio every other day with pushups and situps based on a 6-week program that I'm using...will incorporate weights in...also

3. supplements daily - multivitamin, calcium & b-complex

I'm pushing the date up a little though...my 40th B'day is before Labor day...I want to be close to that by 8/16 which means I will exceed the given amount by Labor Day
