 It was today and it went well, he is going to give Dr. Ballantyne the OK!!! WHOOO HOOO

He wants me to do 10min a day, everyday, on my Elliptical and he wants me (but I don't have to) maybe continue with some counseling. I have anxiety (I knew that already) and depression (which I don't feel but I can't say I'm surprised either). Before all of this, I did attempt to go to therapy for my anxiety but never did. 

My Elliptical arrived today!!! My mom is going to put it together for me. We can't do it now because she still has to move everything around in the living room, but I'm sure I'll be good to go by this weekend.

I really don't like going to the gym, then again I don't really know anyone who does but the main reason is because it is soooo expensive. The last gym I joined cost almost $400 for just a year.

I have a treadmill at home but I don't like it, after walking for an hour, I still feel as if I didn't do enough because its only my bottom half that seems to be moving . The one machine I did like at the gym (Elliptical) was ALWAYS taken, so I'd get stuck on a treadmill.  I hated the step machine because my knees would hurt after a few minutes. Another thing I really dislike about the gym is the feeling I'm being watched. It could very well just be in my head but its very discouraging. I've even joined a womans gym. I just can't stand it.

So I bought one!!! Today!!!    the best part was, it is really good price only $158 + Tax = $169.06, So I saved myself $230.94 on a gym membership LOL, then $400 every year after  I went to Wal-mart yesterday, all the machines they had in the store were $200 plus.
It has a 4 star rating and  a lot of good customer reviews. I'm having it delivered to the store, because that was free. I'm so excited. I can't wait until it gets here. It should arrived some time between 7/8 -7/15

Its called:

Stamina Air Resistance Cross Trainer Elliptical

Guess what I just got in the mail???

A Jury Duty summons!!!!!!! For 7/28  at 8:15am

I don't want to go but what can you do....Let just hope they don't pick me
I personally don't like the idea of deciding any ones fate but my own. Isn't that what we have judges for??

Since I have another 5 months of waiting to do and I have to have my diet supervised. I figure I'm going to use the next 5 months to play taste tester. If I'm going to have to live off of liquid for a while. I might as well start finding things I like.

My sister Jess has a protein shake for lunch. I just tried it.......... GNC Women's Ultra Mega Maximum Nutrition Formula Chocolate flavor.      Needless to say I didn't like it at all. There are two other flavors, vanilla and strawberry which i'm going to try, who knows I might like them

 My insurance company is Aetna... Horrible, Evil AETNA

Anyway, one of the requirements for the surgery is that I have to have physician record my weight and exercises for 6 months. Mind you for the last 6 I was with a trainer but because she's not a doctor it doesn't count. *SIGH* so I have to start all over again. Which means I won't even get pre certified until December 09'/January 10' 

I'm really depressed at the moment

So Visit #1
