Did You Move To Lose Today? Are you ready for Summer?

Hey Everyone 

Do you believe that March is almost gone and we are headed into April?  I am excited as we are one more month closer to summer, sun, the smell of freshly cut grass, cooking out (veggies and fish of course) and showing off all the weight you have lost  That being said I am glad we have a good 2 1/2 months to kick it in high gear if you are working out.    Cardio, Cardio, Cardio, with resistance and we are on our way    If you are not working out you have 13 weeks before the first day of Summer.  Do you know how much difference you can make in 13 weeks  

So come on, pre-ops and newbies get movin..even if it's walking around the store using the cart.  Go outside and take it one block at a time.  If you are already working out now is the time to re-evaluate and ramp it up

Today is a cardio day for me and I will be hitting the bag, mixing it with core work.

So my friends, Did You Move To Lose Today?  Come on in and let's be accountable, feel good about what we have accomplished today and inspire others to do the same

Take care,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
Well I did it girlfriend, started my early morning workout now that the weather is nicer.

Today: Spin Class at 5:45am then went upstairs and did some ab work on the ball (sit ups) then worked a litte on some weights, then it was time to go shower and go to work!!

Tomorrow will be weight lifting class at 5:45am, spin class again on Wed and Friday and I plan to do pilates on Thursday. Man, this week will fly by!!

I'm now wearing size 6 pants!! Wwhhhhoooooooo!!! My goal was just to get into size 16 and hopefully down to a size 14. Made that goal and then some!!

Anyone that gets up before the sun has my admiration 

OMG, did you ever think a size 6  AWESOME

Take care,
Kathy

Never in my life did I think I would be a size 6.
I always thought I was large boned, no more lying to myself ever...
It will always be moderation and exercise for me for the rest of my life.
I've embraced the lifestyle change and I'm not on a diet!! Life is grand!!

Hey Debbie,

I see  you had a revision, what was your first procedure and what revision did you have?

Oh back in the 1980 I had a stomach stapeling by a general surgeon who was doing a study. Yes I was a guinea pig, I worked at the hospital and the doctor thought I would do great. Well none of us did. We we all cut from just below the breastbone down to the belly button. Very barbaric the way they did that back then. They had no support system and really couldn't tell us what to eat, they started us out on baby foods.

I had my revision to RNY April 12, 07.
Support groups are a must. This site is wonderful except for some cyber bullies. I just don't get that at all. In fact no one really knows anyone on the internet...unless you actually form a friendship face to face.

Wow, you had it done "back in the day" as we say....

Did you know OH is  having an event in June in Chicago...are you coming?

Nope, I didn't know. Can you give me more details. My best friend Deb had the lapband 6 mths after I had my surgery. We could go together.
Are you going? I'd love to meet you in person.

My husband has some health issues so I will decide closer to the date.  Here is a couple of links for information...
