1st Work Out

Well I have been a bit under the weather, but I am 2 weeks post op now and decided it was time to trying working out today.

We have a WII and recently purchased My Fitness Coach for it. So I had hubby set up my profile on there today.

I just got done about 15 minutes ago. Did a 15 minute work out. I can still feel my heart racing and the taste of blood pumping in my throat. It sounds weird to me but it brings me back to middle/high school gym class, where your blood would start pumping and you have that taste in your throat from it pumping and working so hard.

I realized I have NO coordination. I could not do half the moves with her feet I was tripping all over the place.

But it felt good, even if I pushed it a little too much. I just need to think of something else maybe with not as much movement for my lack of coordination. Just not sure what. I am going to keep up with this though. 15 minutes a day 5 days a week. Don't think that will hurt me too much.

Laney has been getting really hungry. Last night she ate some real food. Just a little. But also I have not been feeling good so usually I want food to kill the sickness and get better.

Today so far so good. Just drank some Optifasts and water. I did have 2 slices of cheese though. Tonight I think I am going to have cream of broccoli soup. MMM MMM Good. Hopefully that will satisfy her tonight.

Just want to keep losing weight. Now that I am adding more and more food to my diet I want to keep it coming off and need to step up my working out. Even if it is just marching in places 15 minutes a few times a day I think would be a good start.

Just need to keep my motivation up there. I would LOVE to be about 250 for Christmas...that would be an amazing task and think I can do it as I am already half way there weighing just under 275 and going in for my first fill in 3 weeks.

I can't wait. It is going to be amazing bringing out some of my old clothes and wearing them, just hopefully not for too long. Hoping I will be able to move onto smaller sizes soon after that. :)

HUGS!!!
