Haven't Lost Weight
on 2/3/11 6:48 am - Des Moines, IA
I weighed myself this morning and I lost 3 lbs this week!!! That's really good I think! What a shock that was. I probably get about 800 calories a day. Which is probably effecting my weight loss. It's not that I don't feel hunger, I seem to be hungry all the time. So . . .... I don't eat as much as I probably should because I'm afraid to over due it. I know that you also have to eat to lose. Eat appropriately, of course. But I haven't been tracking calories, which is a big no no, I'm sure. I will add that to my log today. Today I go for a fill so hopefully the hunger will go away. I can't ride a regular bike. I could probably use the type of bike that sits you back and you just use your legs. You are low to the ground and your legs are more out in front of you. I don't know what it's called. As for swimming, I don't know how to swim and really hate water over my chest. I've always been afraid of deep water. I hate to sound like I'm full of excuses, but these are just obstacles I live with right now. I tried Zumba and that was just too much for my back. I just found out we have a trainer on the military post. I'm going to call and make an appointment to see her. I'm sure she can come up with something.

Remember to do fluids after your fill for 24 hours or whatever your surgeon suggests.
I'm seeing a personal trainer to get the above mentioned test. They can also work with your injury and suggest excercises you could do without hurting yourself.
There's also the "Couch potato to 5K" walks. I'm doing my first one in April. Maybe find a stationary bike second hand or go to the YWCA to use one.
Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.
