I am offically in twoderville!!
Jul 19, 2011
I weighed in at our exercise class tonight at 295!!! I was so excited. I have lost a total of 80lbs!! 50 pre-surgery and 30 post surgery. I don't know when I hit twoderville because I only weigh myself at the exercise class and it is only once a week that we can go to the hospital gym for free. It is a program that is sponsered by our bariatric center. I can officially say I will never weigh 300lbs ever again!! :)I used the nustep machine for 40 minutes stepped for almost 2.5 miles and got a good cardio workout. Debating on resigning up at the hospital for their exercise program. It is 30/month but they are only open until like 7pm at night and not on the weekends. That is one of the huge bummers. But they do have a lot of bariatric friendly exercise equipment. I don't know if anyone has ever used a nustep machine it is a recumbant stepper and it works both your arms and your legs. I love it! It is very low impact on your joints. I am exhausted and we've had heat indexes of 112 the past few days. It is like a jungle here in Minnesota. Totally not a typical summer. We occasionally have a few days of heat like this in August but not in July. It has been really bad. I got a puppy on Thursday. She is a 9 month old Puggle. We adopted it from my husbands aunt, the puppy's name is Lola. I really want to take her for walks but with this heat index it is just not really safe to be exercising outside especially since I am still on O2. I go back to the pulmonologist in September.
Time for bed!! My constipation is much, much better. I am using miralax either daily or everyother day. And I am drinking a small glass of prune juice which is helping. I'm still meaning to get started on taking fiber. I wanted to get my bowels pretty regular first. Ok off to bed before I fall asleep at the keyboard
