Day 2 p90X !! Cardio

Day 2 of P90X was Cardio , I am following the Lean Schedule. I have to say I actually did not mind it, 1/2 way enjoyed it . Normally when I am doing some kind of video that has a time clock on it I am staring at it waiting for it to be over. Which yesterday I admit I was doing that . Today I was not . In fact I was saying " I AM Going to get through this WHOLE DVD today !
Tomorrow is Shoulder, arms and AB Ripper day , I have a feeling I may not like that day too much LMAO !!!

Day 1 P90X Down

Ok folks that was not THAT bad ! As long as you modify the P90X to fit your needs its not that bad, I did not expect there to be a person in the video doing different levels of the work out either, and there was.
There were a couple places I was like NO FREAKING Way i can do that . But I did at least try and did a couple of the funky push ups. But Im going to try the cardio DVD tomorrow, which just might kill me ! LMAO
I walked with a friend last night and we are walking again tonight , so this should be a good day for calories burned !

P90X

Tomorrow will be my first day doing p90x I know I know I am fat and out of shape ! I spoke to a friend who is IN really good shape and she told me to keep doing it , modify it to my own and to keep at it and it WILL Work ! So we will see how it goes !

Body Bugging in !

I did pretty good today , I have decided that pouting over my son being gone in college is over !
I went and walked w/ a friend of mine .
I ate 1200 calories ( my goal according to body bugg is 1700 ) That is STILL hard to wrap my head around .
But I did burn 2484 calories walking ! So that is good.
I finally got a copy of P90X I am going to start it tomorrow.!

Blood work came back

And I am begging to think I am crazy ! It said i was not allergic to anything ! Not even dairy which I KNOW I am lactose intolerant . I dont know if that means Im allergic or not ? I am going to try to do what the doc suggested for a while and see how that makes me feel . But to be honest I really do think people think I am nuts. I really thought this doc might have some thing for me , but I had to call 4 times for my results. The only thing i can do it keep going back ?

So I am going to start trying to eat as healthy , fresh and non processed foods as I can . Shop at Whole foods and see if that helps . When I first got my band I really felt good because I ate better than I ever have. Since my 19 yr is at college now my grocery bill SHOULD be a little less and I might be able to afford to eat that way .
So we will see !

Doctor Update

What happens when You cant get insurance and have to go to the doctor ? You sit in an office ( Not a free clinic mind you ) for 4 HOURS while you forget your in the US because everyone around you is NOT Speaking English ! Then after 3 Hours you are called back . Finally a pretty good doc that I actually like comes in feels like she is listening to you , tells you " I'll be right back Im going to ask a question " where you SIT For ANOTHER 45 minutes ! only to have a nurse walk back and in tell you " Come back in an HOUR to have blood drawn ! Go back in an hours sit for ANOTHER HOUR and have blood drawn ! REALLY FUN HUH ???

On a positive note I did like the doc ( besides her leaving me sitting there forever ! ) She thinks 2 things may be going on 1. I could still have Crohns disease. Because oh yeah the $1200 a spent a while back to get the colonoscopy to check for CD ... well yeah it was kind of pointless ! Because Colonoscopies do not check for CD , or its not the best way to check ! SO its still an option . Yet since I am and was "fat" Not likely but possible.

2. I may have SEVERE Food allergies that are causing my stomach issues and joint issues . And just causing me to feel like shit all the time .
SO she did draw blood to test for that, I should find out tomorrow about those.

3. I did find out my very cold hands and feet are most likely a condition ( cant remember the name ) not anything i can do about it though !

So I am getting somewhere. Maybe !

The Body Bugg

I started wearing the Body Bugg a few days ago .
I have to tell you that I really wish I had one of these when I first had my band.
Its really helpful and interesting to "SEE" what and how you live your day when it comes to food and moving. I have never been a calorie counter, but I will be the first to admit , I need a change. What you do is input your food intake for the day . Then plug in your bugg to the computer and it tells you how you have "moved" and how many calories you have burned through out the day . The goal is to burn more calories than you consume obviously . My daily intake is 1750 calories , let me tell you that is tough to wrap my brain around after having to eat 1000-1200 a day for the past 5 years ! My goal is to burn 2250 a day . Again hard to do since I have not been working out for the past 5 yrs . The bugg is helpful because what I think is being active through out the day , sometimes does not even register as "burning" calories. I have been getting my son ready for college since I got the bugg so not much time to work out , but the kids go back to school on Monday , soon as they do I am going to be working out . Walking, yoga something ! It will be fun to see just how "much" is enough to burn the calories !

I really do recommend this espically to newbie bandsters ! I think it would have helped me a lot !

Insurance can kiss my A$$

Get this , I have been trying to find insurance for our family , we have been in insured for a long time. My oldest son HAS to have it before he goes to college. So I find this out today !
How stupid is this : BEFORE My lap band I was too FAT For Insurance, no one would give it to me , AFTER No one would insure me becuase i had the band NOW Since I have had issues they wont insure me ! So I can not get insurance unless its through a group plan PERIOD ! EVER ! Unless my band comes out and I am not so sure I could get it then.
I am having some issues again like i did last year with stiff joints and fatigue and pain. So I really wanted to get it fixed, I am in tears right now .

I am getting RE

Re motivated , Re focused and Re equipped for weight loss !!!
Check out what I just won on Ebay , I have been wanting one of these for EVER !!!
Body Bugg Video
its a Body Bugg ! I have heard really really good things about these ! I am still currently on liquids , self imposed. I am doing as if I had just gotten a fill !
I will slowly move myself up to solids as I normally would . I will NOT do a diet, I wont do it ! I am changing what I eat, how I eat, when I eat and how I move !
I really think the Body Bugg will help me see , ok get your ass up and move today you need to burn off more of what you are eating !

So I will start a new "Section" with Body Bugg Progress as well as maybe (ugh) weekly weight ins ! Also on a positive note. My doctors scale was on crack and according to my scale , which I have not stepped on in a long time i am actually 3 pounds LIGHTER Than his ! So im sticking w/ that one !!!

Things are not good : Useless

That is basically what my band is inside me now . USELESS !!!
I went to get my fill today and doc went to fill my band . I had my barium swallow and when he filled it , the barium sat there ! Nothing , So he backed off , nothing sat there .. he backed it out to .01 NOTHING ! Sat there .... He took all of it out and the barium barely trickled through . He said I have scar tissue or something that has built up . I can either have it repositioned ( not recommend ) Or I can and probably need to have it revised to a sleeve. Nothing major is going on for me now , i am not having any problems BUT I could at any time, if i got sick or something because I do not have much " wiggle room" so to speak . The cost for the new surgery ????? $13,000 !!!!!! Its basically 2 surgeries, one to have the band removed , wait 3 months then have the sleeve done !!! SOOOOO I am going to have to do what I can on my own for now to lose the 50 count them 50 Damn pounds I have put back on !!
I am very upset and disgusted w/ the situation and partially myself ! Part of this is my fault for eating the way I have the past year when my band had next to nothing in it !

So we will see !
