Oh how I hate to wait!

Darnit, having to move my appointment is tormenting me...I do this silly countdown to things, and all but drive myself nuts!!!  Well, next Friday isnt THAT long I guess.  I sure hope he gives me a date..or at least a general estimate of when I can do this.  I am ready, I have tried to prepare myself both mentally and physically.  He said to start exercising..I have been using my stationary bike, and have been watching what I eat.  I have all but done away with coffee, only a few cups here and there(fat free creamer)..and I have gotten good at following with water. So hopefully I will be weened off coffee completely soon!
Though I haven't completely gotten rid of the colas, I have dropped it to one every other day or so...coffee is more my crutch that cola!

I have also been following the "101" plan he gave me.  i thought I would share it with you incase anyone would like to spruce  up their diet plans. Even if you are not doing the surgery, these are some good tips for weight loss  (I am summarizing this)
"Eating 101"
*eat three meals per day...never less
* dont SKIP meals
*no snacking in between meals~~this can be the number 1 reason people dont lose or regain
*eat more of your calories earlier in the day (bigger breakfast and smaller lunch)
*chew your food well
*each bite should be the size of a nickel
*keep meals about 20-30 minutes
(for those pre-surgery only)----eat fruit or veggies first

And something I learned about exercise that I didnt know...you do NOT burn calories until you have done at least 30 minutes of exercise!!!!

The first 20 minutes of exercise uses other energy sources, after the 20 minutes you will begin to burn the fat!!!

Hope you guys have a great day!!!
