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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
