Still gymming!!!

Hello all the dear Missouri OH peeps, For some reason we didn't have internet all day and night yesterday. I nearly died without my OH fix. I went shopping yesterday, TJ Maxx and Penneys. Not much buying because of losing weight but still not dropping in my waist like I wished. Mostly I just tried on to see what fit!!! I did my weekly weigh in and I'm in onederland. I'm excited about that. I went to the gym yesterday and today and walked 35 minutes both days. It makes me feel so good to accomplish that. I've got to go to Sam's today. it is so cold but if I don't go today I won't get there until next week and I want to get some shrimp and some flaxseed oil capsules. Gotta get on the run so I can get back for all the pre-game stuff. I'm a football freak. Love and hugs to you all. Lana

Lana, Congratulations on reaching ""Onederland" - that is so wonderful! I'm proud of you going to the gym and doing all that walking! I got up early and walked on the treadmill this morning - that felt great! I would prefer to walk in the am but just don't have the time to get everyone off to school and myself off to work. So I mostly walk in the evening. Hugs, Marilyn

Great Lana, I have joined you, I went to gym yesterday did 18 min. on the bow flex walking machine and went in the tanning bed it sure felt good...I will try for 30 min. tomorrow..congrats on your "onederland" I am drinking the protein again and keeping it down, maybe I will start losing, I have been at a stall for a week...I think I am full of you no what...lol wish there was something we could use except Benefiber I took that and it didnt do anything..... Marilyn glad you are doing better......Vesta

Vesta you can take flax oil or fish oil either one but dont know at your stage if you can swallow the capsuls ask Margie she can tell you ok benefiber works ok if you take it every day and i also put fish oil with it i had to start with 3 caps a day of it but now am down to 2 each . I was so constipated at one time that i took about a half a bottle of the magnesius citrate that we drank before surgery. it worked lol Jan

lol tks Jan I bet it did work....vesta

Hey Vesta, You can take the fish oil capsules (gel capsules) immediately after surgery...i already asked my dr if that was going to be possible. He said I should give it a week afterward but then it is fine because they dissolve when you swallow them. And they really do help with that problem if you are consistent with them.

Lana, that's great on the loss! Oh to see the 100's again I know it will be someday I just have to be patient. When are you going to do a new pic? Do the flaxseed oil caps work well? I need to get some. Julia

Hi Lana and others! Great job with the exercising folks!!! Keep it up!!!! It does feel so good to accomplish these goals, however small, as we couldn't have done them in the past. I know I couldn't have anyway. Well it's been 4 wks sicne my first body fat analysis, supposed to wait 6 wks before I check #s again but I couldn't wait so I asked to have them checked last night. I knew my weight hadn't gone down so I thought that if the body fat # had goen down I'd feel better......well no such luck, it had gone UP 1%!!!!!!!! So now it's time to REALLY gwt tough with myself, my eating needs to get back to basics as I know I have allowed myself too many things that I should stay away from and the quantity as well. As for the bady fat measuring gadget, I told the trainer that if he has to RIG it, then do so because if my number aren't down in 2 wks when I am actaully due for my 2nd check-in, then he will be needing a NEW machine!! lol I did set new goals on my work-out last night and did achieve them....really pushed it on the eliptical. Although my numbers are up, I am feeling firmer and Jim says my body os getting a more toned shape to it. That's what I'm after so I'm not giving up here. The OLD me would have at this point, out of frustration of not seeing the numbers drop, in fact increasing numbers!, I'd have quit for sure and celebrated with a big old bowl of ice-cream with maybe some choc chip cookies and them some chips and dip and...........lol you get the picture. Take care all, and keep pushing yourself to reach new gaols with your exercise!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!! Tami
