Day 23 -- 12 January 2009

Well, I am ashamed to admit that I haven't gotten on the treadmill since my last post. I have had very good intentions but I just never seem to find the time. I keep using that as an excuse when I know full well that I could have gotten on the treadmill today while I was watching the episodes of Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters that I DVRed last night. I need to quit making excuses and just get on the treadmill. I didn't DVR any shows tonight because none of the shows that I watch were on. I am going to make myself a promise right now though that tomorrow, come hell or high water, I will get on that treadmill.

I have been trying to make healthier food choices and cutting back on my portion sizes too. I know that exercise alone is not going to help me get healthy again. It is going to be very interesting to see what I can and can't eat any longer after my surgery. I have already had to give up ice cream because it causes me to have a gallbladder attack. I don't want to completely give up the foods I love because then all I will crave is what I am not supposed to eat. I need to adopt the "everything in moderation" concept and I should be just fine. If I am able to eat ice cream again in a few weeks without having to suffer the consequences then I will just have to spend an extra 30 minutes or so on the treadmill. Speaking of which, even though I will have to take a break from exercises for a few weeks until I am cleared by my doc I am going to list the workout program that I plan to follow so that I can hold myself accountable:

Monday - Treadmill - Fat Burn - Walk for 1 hour
P90X Chest & Back & Ab Ripper

Tuesday - Treadmill - Cardio - Run for 30 minutes
Windsor Pilates

Wednesday - Treadmill - Fat Burn - Walk for 1 hour
P90X Shoulders & Arms & Ab Ripper

Thursday - Treadmill - Cardio - Run for 30 minutes
Windsor Pilates

Friday - Treadmill - Fat Burn - Walk for 1 hour
P90X Legs & Back & Ab Ripper

Saturday - P90X Kenpo
Windsor Pilates

Sunday - P90X Yoga


Last but not least, I finally got my husband to take some before pictures.
