Well, I finally went to the gym on Wednesday. I called a friend to help motivate me and she was very instrumental in getting me to go. I worked out in the pool for about 2 hours--swimming and doing exercises in the pool. While I was working out, I thought that I was wasting my time because I didn't feel like I was working at all. It was too easy. Well, let me tell you that later that evening when I was going to bed the muscles started telling me just how much working they had done. I ended up having to take some ibuprophen for muscle soreness. Well, tonight I went to the gym and decided to work on the machines instead of in the pool. I prefer to work on the machines when I'm able to. Well, I thought I would be able to do more than I did, but I think it's too soon to workout outside of the pool right now. I worked out for about 30 minutes and I barely made that. I worked on the eliptical machine for 15 minutes and then the recumbant bike for 15 minutes. My back started to hurt while I was on the eliptical machine and that is the reason why I switched to the bike. I think I'll stick to the pool for right now to protect my back and knees. Once I lose more weight then I'm hoping I'll be able to work on the machines in the future. After the gym, I went grocery shopping, so that gave me some more exercise.
I saw the dietician today and I have some more goals to work on. I've been decreased to a 1400 calorie diet. This will be the last decrease in calories. I also am supposed to exercise 3 times per week and chew my food 15-20 times. This is in preparation for surgery, but also the chewing slows down the eating process and helps with digestion.
