Spurts



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have spurts where they go off and on to the gym because I certainly do I guess it's because I get so busy I don't feel like going! I know I need to go but just can't get myself motivated

I used to be like that, but since my surgery I have been going 3-4 times per week religiously. It's hard, I know but try making a set time to go and stick with it....

On the days that I can't make it to the gym I try to be active in other ways, like taking the stairs vs the elevator or parking far away from the door of the supermarket etc.

They say that once you go to the gym routinely for long enough you get to a point where if you DON'T go you feel lousy. I can't wait to get there lol :P

Who says that? Lol. I've been running for seven years and a regular gym goer and although I would consistently get 3 exercise sessions a week (and more most weeks) I do find real motivation comes in spurts. I try to do three strenght sessions and five cardio - but I dont beat myself up if its two strenght three cardio which is what often happens.

I certainly dont feel lousy if I miss it. I'm always chronically tired and short on energy and it actually makes me feel good! But that certainly wouldnt be true if I didnt go for weeks on end.

      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!!
