Elliptical, 1.3 miles

Tag: ExerciseRussell @ 8:13 pm

Today I did 1.3 miles on the elliptical in 00:10:06.  I think my lungs and heart could have taken a little more but my thighs were on fire and my back is still bothering me.

  • I will continue to exercise on the elliptical every day.
  • I will get back on the elliptical within 1 week of my surgery, even if it’s for less than 10 minutes.

Beginning of Pre-surgery diet Day 3 and feeling good

Tag: Bariatric Bypass SurgeryRussell @ 7:45 am

I have to say this morning I feel pretty good.  I did wake up feeling very hungry, but now that I am drinking my “protein water” I am feeling satisfied.  I already feel like I’m losing weight…and it feels great.  My pants were just a little less tight than usual.  My back is sore this morning, likely from yesterdays whopping 10 minutes on the elliptical, but I know this is only temperory and will go away the more I exercise and lose weight.

I am so motived.  My resolve is steely.  I am so encouraged by the way I am feeling after only 2 days on the diet…
