How To Get Started Exercising



Recommended Posts

Walking at the Pond yesterday and there were 3 big ladies sitting on a bench and they never moved and they didn't look real happy. I thought, that use to be me. I wanted to move but was afraid I couldn't without getting winded. I didn't want my fat jiggling all over the place and for people to see it. So I started at home. They say exercise 30 minutes a day. Now they say you can break that 30 minutes into 10 minutes 3 times a day. I was like well I can do that.

  1. So to get started, if you can walk.....stand up and walk in place for as long as you can.....20 seconds.......40 seconds......2 minutes....Good (I you can't walk or stand move your arms....punch them out in front of your raise them over your head 2 times.....4 times.......20 times)
  2. Repeat the walking in place for as long as you can 3 or more times a day and keep track of it.
  3. As this becomes more comfortable you should be able to walk for a longer period of time. Increase your time as you can.....5 minutes.....15 minutes
  4. Guess What you are Exercising YEAHHHHHHHHHH:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Every little bit counts.....move your body, it burns calories.

If you really want to lose some weight WEE

Water- drink your Water, propel, crystal light, powerade....

Eat- samller portions (lean cuisines are perfect)

Exercise- move your body however you can everyday

      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.

        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.

      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!
