Motivation ?



Recommended Posts

I have found the love for classes at the gym- they are very motivating and at most will see all fitness levels.

U will feel better and have more energy if u workout. Sometimes I have to make myself go, but it is well worth it. U may even surprise yourself and enjoy it. Go for a walk, get a trial membership at a gym and try some classes, bring a friend. U can do this!!!

Once you start you will find you have more energy! I understand you want to relax on your days off, however, if you excercise for just an hour you still have 23 more hours to relax in that day! LOL. You may also find it relaxing to exercise! I love walking early in the morning when there are very few people out! The world looks so different at that time! When I first started I told myself if I wanted to crawl back in bed after my walk I would let myself! I gave myself permission, but honestly, I don't think I ever did! Start out slow, just give it a try! Good Luck!

Do you have a fav movie? You could try to watch that while walking on a treadmill. Also, a workout buddy? I find I have these same feelings, but once I finally get my a$$ moving I feel great!

Good Luck!

I agree with everything but a workout buddy. I have tried that many times and when the buddy falls off, I fall off. The motivation had to be about you and how it makes you feel. Hang in there and as was suggested, pick a good movie and get on the treadmill.

Good luck!

I think it helps to find something or things that you enjoy. That way you find yourself more willing to make time for them and to keep them up. For me it's dancing (rock n roll 1950s style), cycling, swimming and walking.

My doctor said until u reach ur goal u need to do some form of exercise whether its a large or small amount. I suggest trying Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie's Sansome

      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!
