Finally Back On The Wagon...er...treadmill



Recommended Posts

Omg. Went to the gym today for the first time in over a month. My husband and I used to work out 3-4x/wk but have slacked for months now, hardly going.

Today, I worked myself hard. Nothing crazy, but not the namby-pamby "workouts" I've done on the rare trips to the gym.

I'm dying! Lol

Definitely need to get back in the swing of things. I'm feeling motivated for the first time in ages, plus we're starting a walking challenge at work this week - GCC. Anyone heard of it or possibly doing it?

Going to let my body rest tomorrow and then start again on Tues!

Oops hit send on phone too fast....3 weeks later I'm actually craving excercise including Water aerobics, weights, circuit, bikes, sit ups on a ball, and just plain walking at the park 2-3 miles. It replaces the food thing in many ways. Kids are getting out to hang at park while I walk with my best friend. A life change indeed...wouldn't have done this a year ago!!

Exactly! I miss that feeling.

Today, we got home and had lunch...we'd discussed a trip to the dog park. Instead, we both passed out on the couch. When we woke up, I looked at him and said, "This is NOT good! We can't wind up like this again!"

I used to crave exercise. I'll get there again. :)

Lol, one foot in front of the other, its the only way. Eventually it becomes habit and even more eventually, perhaps a love.

I used to be the worlds worst exerciser, it took SO much willpower. Now I absolutely crave it, love it and put off other things to do it. And once you've experienced true fitness, the type that means you can run half marathons and such, you really wont want to let that go. Most people go through life, even people that do exercise, never knowing what its like to be that fit.

And I cant type on my phone either! Barely even try. I'm even hopeless on the ipad, that's impossible. You can always tell when I'm on a computer or on the ipad!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
