Check with your doc. I just had hysterectomy 8 weeks ago and was told NOTHING for 6 weeks but walking. Hard to get back into the routine of walking and eating right after that long. You could probably do some light weight arm lifts

bump so I can keep track of this for later

Scales will weigh you differently at different locations and each scale will weigh you differently. I'm not sure why your scale weighed 5 pounds different within 5 minutes, but I know that mine will weigh 2-4 pounds different just based on where exactly I put it on the bathroom floor!

Congratulations!!!!

I wanted something frozen and creamy, so this was what I made for dessert!

Crockpot fajitas: boneless skinless chicken breasts and fajita seasoning (I use a homemade no salt recipe I found at cooks.com) put all together in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. Shred the chicken when you get home and saute some veggies to go with it. Crockpot BBQ chicken: boneless skinless chicken and BBQ sauce. put…

bump. I'm interested in more ideas too.

I think part of it depends on WHAT you're eating. I've noticed that when I eat lots of veggies and some fruit and protein, I end up around 800-900 and am very full. I forced myself for awhile to eat all the calories by adding higher fat stuff and making myself eat when I was full and gained a couple pounds. I will not do…

I get up at 6, pray, then put on the workout video (I have a couple I rotate through) and workout for 25-30 minutes doing circuit training, kick and jab and tae bo (rotating). Then in the shower by 6:45. Just have to actually roll out of bed instead of hitting the snooze and rolling over. ;)

Yep, and I spent 20 years beating myself up! Don't waste your time beating yourself up mentally, just do what you can and look forward. Start with what you CAN do and work up to what you want to do.

Thanks all. Just want to address a few of the comments. 1. Breakfast is usually 2 eggs scrambled into 1-1.5 cups of stirfried veggies with .5 tbsp of olive oil. 2. Protein powder is only on the rare days when I am way under on my protein. 3. Fat intake is set at 20%, protein at 30% and carbs are 50%. I rarely meet my…

Blessings to you on your journey!
