Exercise Today



Recommended Posts

Actually, I don't eat anything before I work out. I wait until after I've worked out to eat. I don't know if that's good or not, but it's what I do. I don't ever feel sluggish though.

I'm taking a break from working out for a few days. I've been focusing too much on strength training and need to let my body rest. I'll start cardio when I resume but I'm hoping these few days will allow me to drop a few pounds.

Yesterday I did an hour's walk on the treadmill - I needed to do some reading for uni and I wanted to get my exercise in. Unfortunately I couldnt walk any faster than 5.5 km/hr and still be able to read, so I upped the incline to 6. It felt OK, I took my pulse when I finished and it was 90 - WHOA, have I gotten fitter or what?

Just goes to prove all that baloney about walking being better than jogging is just that, baloney. When you've gotten fit you cant even get into your fat burning zone walking uphill!

Anyhow, not wasted time, it still burned 500 calories, and warmed me up nicely for my Bella Strength DVD - which is a pretty hard hour of Body Pump style weights.

Today will be an interval training program on the treadmill.

My question is,what do you all have to eat before working out?My trainer wants me to eat carbs! I try to eat 1/2 cup of cooked oatmeal. But it is very hard to get down early in the AM. I am also suffering from Charlie horses at night! so the suggestion was to eat bananas. Will I don't think I can have more than a half of a small one. You think that will be enough. My doctors program is NOTHING WHITE to eat. Hope I can get some ideas.. Heading out for 7 AM work out. I love going to the gym.. Never in my life would I have said that before!!!. Catch you all later!!!!

I have 1 serving of Isopure. When I worked with a trainer back in 1995, he told me to immediately follow up weight training and cardio with a baked potato. I am not sure why, but I need to find out. I'll post soon when I know. I'm curious now.

Well, I've been wearing my pedometer and I read that 10,000 steps is about 5 miles. I did 9,000 today! Yeah! I'm trying to do 10,000.

      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?
