Ellip. 20 min wts) one 30 min evening (15 on treadmill; 15 on ellip) Thurs 30 min. elliptical and 20 min. weight training You think that makes up for the part of a cheeseburger I ate Wed. LOL Melissa

I just like giving you a hard time about the cheeseburger!! You totally make up for your bad food days with the exercising. This weekend I am going to try and start to run a little bit. The community center is less than 1/2 a mile from my house and it has a nice track. Gonna start out slow and see where I can get. Walk a little, job a little, walk a little, pass out for awhile, walk a little, fall down on the sidewalk cause I cant breath, walk a little more.. Go home and nap the rest of the day... Hey, it will keep me outta the fridge... Hehe... The weather has been so beautiful and there in no sense in not getting out in it.

I am still not sure what amount of carbs I should be taking in. Christine, no chocolate? WOOHOOO!!!

Rhonda --On my profile is an outline that my nutritionist gave me on what I should be getting in a day. It was about 4 mos post op that he gave me this: Minimum: (600-800 Calories) Protein 42G - Fat 15G - Carbs 60G Optimal: (1200 Calories) Protein 60G - Fat 50G - Carbs 120G Maximum: (1600 Calories) Protein 80G - Fat 65G - Carbs 200G Minimum is not getting enough... Optimal is for good weight loss... Maximum is to maintain --not to lose and not to gain... I dont like how high the carbs seem to be that he is recommending so I really try to not get that high sometimes but sometimes its too hard... Just about everything has carbs in it. Your totals look real good--- cant say that the food looks good... hahaha...

I am not sure how to do Fitday yet. I had crystal light, carbcountdown, some diabetic ensure, 3 tablespooons pureed navy beans seasoned, straberry flavored applesauce. I tried mashed up spaghettios and up they came. I just can't do food yet. It has been almost 3 weeks since starting this but I am just not ready. If it doesn't flow off the spoon it won't stay down. Not long until June 5th. Can't wait. Jane I walked 3500 steps ---by my pedometer.

Jane, Spaghetti Os have a good bit of sugar in them dont they? That may be why they didnt sit well... I wanna get me one of those pedometer things... Where did ya get it...
