Hi Jaci!! OK first off, I must admit publicly that I do not have a great exercise routine at all. I have bought some exercise DVD's (Walk Off the Pounds, Biggest Loser Workout, and Celebrity Fit Club) but I have not used them yet. I did have a free month membership to a gym by me and while I did use it, I did not use it enough as I should have. So, consider this a "memory" version of my answers, based off of what I did for that month while I had the membership. Here it goes: 1. Do you do anything extra other then normal everyday life? Not really. I consider the long walk from my car to the office and back some exercise since I refused to walk pre-op.... grocery shopping and just plain shopping is exercise.... I know.... this is not really moving to lose... 2. Does your life require you to move, so you don't need an extra work out? No, i could definitely use the extra workout... I work in an office talking on the phone and working on a computer all day.... 3. If you do something extra, what do you do? nothing... but that has to change 4. Where do you go? I was going to a women's only gym by me called "Bodies R Us".... nice gym but very impersonal 5. How long do you work it? I was usually there for about an hour each time I went 6. Lift any weights? Yep... I love doing weight machines.... I felt more of a workout from them than from a treadmill 7. What time do you prefer to work out? Early afternoon (of course before I went back to work) but if they had a 24 hr gym that was open after midnight, I would be all over that!! 8. How often do you attend? I went about 2-3 times a week 9. Have a work out buddy? Nope, but my mom and I are going to join a gym together now 10. Do you like it? I really did enjoy it... but with my work schedule, and lack of funds right now, I could not renew.... but then again, I need to.... Jaci, thank you for posting this and holding me accountable for what I am doing. I needed this "reality check". I have already looked into local YMCA's and have emailed them for more information. Thanks again and CONGRATS ON YOUR PROGRESS!!! You are doing AMAZING, lady!! Love ya!! ~amber~

Sounds like you're on the right track Chicky!!!!! I'm not parking close to anywhere anymore either! It feels great to walk doesn't it!? I'm more than happy to give you a reality check anytime! LOL Love ya too!!!! *~*Jaci*~*

Possible title for post: Did you WORK your WIGGLES off today?? 1. Do you do anything extra other then normal everyday life? I workout at my local Y 2. Does your life require you to move, so you don't need an extra work out? not at all unless you count chasing a 1 year old around and doing tons of laundry 3. If you do something extra, what do you do? see #2 4. Where do you go? LOL...see #1 5. How long do you work it? 2 hours 6. Lift any weights? On abs I do 50, on legs 60, on arms 20 on two machines and 40 on another. I do "pyramid sets". That means I start with 30 reps, then 40, then 50. 7. What time do you prefer to work out? in the morning, 10am-noon 8. How often do you attend? 5-6 days a weeks 9. Have a work out buddy? does my MP3 player count? 10. Do you like it? I LOVE IT!!! Dawn

LOL you're so funny Dawn! I LOVE the title!!!!!!!! hehehehe!!!!!!!!!! You rock! *~*Jaci*~*

WORK OFF THE WIGGLES!!!!!! I love that title!!!! You are doing great Dawn and I love your new picture!!!

Thanks Amber. I'm really trying my best. I don't know if you remember when I was 5 weeks out my surgeon said I wasn't exercising/loosing enough. Well I am a perfectionist so if he expects something from me, I give it 110%. I am anxious to see what he'll say when I come back on the 20th. He wanted me to loose between 24 and 32 pounds before I came back. So far I have loss 20 and still have 17 days left. (my goal is to break 32 pounds) Dawn

I have faith that you can break that!!! I have lost 25 since my last visit and have another coming up soon (I gotta call and get the date).... I have to get on an exercise routine!! Stop making excuses and get out there and just do it!! I am so proud of all of us!! We are all doing fabulous and looking great!! Now if I can just get OH to change my messageboard pic.... (been waiting about 3 weeks...oh well!) Love ya!! ~amber~
