Nov 18, 2013

I've decided my next effort is going to be doing at least two wellness related activities a day.  So some days that will be cardio and a TOPS meeting, some cardio and strength training, and some cardio and a facial!  Pick up the theme that cardio is going to be a standard?  That's because it is the one I can most easily control as I have the bike at home.  So I can ride it any day I'm home.  And if I travel, most hotels have at least one bike or treadmill.  So no weather related or out-of-town excuses.

So far so good for the month.  

Blood work from my check up was good, doctor really happy with my cholesterol but I can't claim any kudos for that as it is genetic.  He's okay with my weight, but I'm not.  

I did think of a real contest for TOPS.  I'm going to propose that whoever loses the most for the quarter (at least 5 lbs.) and keeps it off (so no regaining and losing the same five pounds) will win a week's worth of meals prepared by me.  They can chose the recipes from dr.gourmet.com.  I'll do all the cooking at home, wrap/freeze, etc.  and deliver it.  Now I need to think of something for the least successful person.  Maybe I should do that as well--just not tell them in advance.  I wonder if we did a program in which I showed everyone the website then had them select a week's worth in advance.  That way it would all be available regardless of who won.  Hmm, I'll think about that.

I have to say, now that there is someone else there who is post-RnY, I am a lot more excited about going.

I'm going to work with Jesse sometime to set some strength goals as well.  I am still amazed at how little strength I have in my upper arms.  Everything still hurts and seems almost beyond me.  I guess it isn't really true, but just shows how weak I was before!
