Ok, you have all inspired me. I've been lacking on the excersise portion of my weightloss, so I know March 1st is just around the corner, so lets all do a fitness challenge together. Any ideas on what challenge we should have? Walking distance in a month?, total minutes per day?.

Give your input and we'll do it together! Gooooooooooo January Bandsters!!!!! (yes I was a cheerleader in high school :-)

Hi Mags- I want to do an exercise challenge- maybe we should each set an individual goal, then edit our post to show our updates? Example:

Goal for the month 500 minutes

3/1 30/270/300

3/2 30/240/300

or something like that? Of course , I don't know if we can edit an existing post?

Just an idea, whatever we decide I'm in.

Mine is working out 3x/week with resistance 2x/week and getting at least some cardio. So I guess resistance 2x a week with tabata on those days plus 1 day?

I think individual goals would be awesome. Just Do It, what does the 300 represent? I think I'm going to set my exercise goal for 750minutes for the month of March.

My exercise goal is to run at least 3 times a week in March. I am doing C25K so I can run my first 5k in May.

I think this is great! I'm trying to find every excuse to exercise! it don't mater I live on the 4th floor lol so I try to pick up speed when I go up the floors or only take one thing up at a time I even will load myself with lots of items so it's heavy, things like that lol CMD what is C25K? it sounds like something I might want to look into. I want to do a K next yr but more like a 10k or 15k lol

Ok bandsters lets get out there and MOVE! We can do it lets get up and move our bodies! lol yes Mags I always wanted to be a cheerleader lol :P

CMD what is C25K?

Hi! C25K is Couch to 5K. It is a training program to ease you into running a 5K. There is an app for it for iPhone and Droid. I think it may be called Ease Into 5K now. Good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
