Topic: Hey guys, where ya at?
just wanted to touch base with the other March 2012 sleevers & see how everyone is doing.

Mt life is good right now! I'm down a total of 60lbs as of today & have joined a walking group for support & challenges on facebook through here. I am signed up for 2 5K runs.

I'm feeling comfortable in my own skin again! I can do so much more than before & I love this new life!!

Topic: RE: Protein Shakes ... the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!
Hi everyone.  Just did my VSG on May 1.  This is the first time I am posting to anything on OH.  Sorry if I do this wrong.  I cannot figure out how to put my signature correctly so my progress show properly.  I was and still am using the EAS 100% Whey Protein powder and the over the counter already made up shakes.  Chocolate only and I really like them.

Topic: RE: How is your weight loss going?
 I'm about 30 lbs down in 2 months...... Could be more, but I'm VERY happy with that number!  I still need to learn to eat a little slower and chew longer ......

Topic: RE: Exercise...... how much are you doing?
 I love Zumba and regularly did it on my Kinnect before surgery.  Now that I'm training for a 1/2 marathon though it just doesn't work into my schedule.  I have to run on my cardio days and then I do weights and stretch on my off days.  Hope to start it again when I am eating enough to exercise 2x a day.

Well, wed. didn'y work for 1st Zumba, however I did it tonight. It totally kicked my butt. I was worn out & thinking well I can stop now & next time stay longer, but it was so much fun I just kept going. I kept pace almost the entire time too.  I will however be interected to see how I feel tomorrow..LOL.

If you haven't checked it out...do.

 I don't know if it improves them, but it definitely allows me to get in good cardio when I otherwise wouldn't be able to.  I can only run on the road on Sat. unless I want to push a stroller (I don't).  So I run on a track and use the elliptical when the weather isn't conducive to having the kids play at the park while I'm at the track.  I was doing 5 days a week before surgery so this isn't anything new I'm just finally getting back to my pre-surgery levels.  I meet with the training person for my surgeon tomorrow and I'm hoping he'll help me with a better strength training regimen as my arms could use a ton of help.

Do you find doing the ellipitcal on your off days improves your run/walks?

I am following a training schedule and they only want me run/walking 3 days/week.  I still haven't done any strength training yet.  I really need to get going on that.

Horseback riding?  I would LOVE to hear how that goes.  That sounds like an amazing present for hitting onederland!
