How's everyone doing on this blustery (here in NY) Saturday? Not sure if anyone takes the weekend off, but I'm going to post anyway...

Hi Tammy- Since I workout later in the day- like AFTER work and usually till 10-11pmEST I am posting my 2 last days of workout: Sat. morning I weighed 241 Sunday morning March 5- weigh 237.5 I decided to try something new: drank 25gms protein 1 hr before workout draqnk another 25gm protein shake - withiin minutes of completing my workout. 50gms total BUT also impt to know- having the protein- IMMEDIATELY following the workout- prevents lactic acid build up and gets protein to your muscles and Helps INITIATE muscle recovery faster and lessen muscle soreness. Plus I think since we are wired differently- the protein is going to help burn fat faster as well..

Rollerbladed for over an hour. I have no idea how many calories, but I started last weekend and it was the first time in over 7 years that I was on my rollerblades. My husband and I use to rollerblade down on the beach in virginia beach and we would roller blade 17 miles a day.... That is when I was 155....I have 20lbs to get there... but I am back on the blades and without WLS that NEVER would have happened.
