Ht. 5'5, Wt. 179 - Well the good news is I lost 4 pounds this week. Bad news is that I had gum surgery today and I cant exercise or eat my usual foods for a week. I am stuck eating deli salads and just doing weight lifting. I hate eating things with trans fats and high fructose corn syrup, but I need to eat. Next week its back to working my butt off (literally). Anyone have any good tips for NON-AEROBIC exercise? i was thinking of doing the exercycle on a high resistance slowly peddling or just doing squats with weights, etc.

If you need soft food thats not chock full of bad things try miso soup/ broth, mashed potatoes without a lot of butter, smash up somoe tofu, or try making a boiled dinner. Take carrots, potatoes, and all sorts of root vegetables with some water and broth, throw in a pot or pressure cook and just boil it for ever. Then take the soft veggies and mash them up like crazy with some vinegar or butter and salt. It's really good and really good for you. Hope you feel better.

Reply from Leslie, Age 15 - 10/14/06 - IP#: 152.163.101.xxx it may not sound like much but crunches,and long 10 second each stretches for each muscle could really help you...and these few days off may be a good thing for your body because when i fractured my foot i couldnt do anything like running or sports for over 2 weeks but i did my crunches and stretches yoga weights etc. everyday and still managed to loose over 7 pounds in 2 weeks...GOOD LUCK!
