Today I biked ..very far I will also get my butt on the mill to tread. What are you all doing today?

I'm very excited and I'm always planning my next home escape to the gym :rant:

Emilee, I know you can't wait and neither can I. Once you settle in, life will be great for you again. Anything I can help you with I will!

Tricia, no...you rock girl!

30 minutes swimming yesterday. Today raining...boohoo!

:help:

When did you start exercising? I'm 8 days out and would like to start--but you know those nagging little residual surgery pains keep me from jumping in.

I wouldn't get in the pool for 6 Weeks. My Daughter was Banded a month ago. The doctor said she can now lift weight up to 25 pounds, then unlimited after 6 weeks.

i started a slow walk on the treadmill after 2 weeks. but i mean slow.

today:

- waked 20 mins 4mph, 5.5%

- ran 10 mins 5 mph 5.5%

- 300 crunches, situps etc

- 150 arm exercises 7 lbs and 10 lbs

- 350 leg lifts

then i bought a bike! it was so much fun. i went over to target with a friend and we both bought bikes and rode around the neighborhood. i can't believe how much more tiring bike riding is than when i was eight!

I know! I bought a bike at Walmart and was so excited to get on and ride, then, damn! It was so much harder than I remembered, why wasn't it like that when we were younger? I used to ride my bike across town every single day in the summer to my friends house then onto the outdoor pool.

I have only been able to get 4-6 miles on it now. Once we move and get settled that is one thing I am really going to start working on. Getting my endourance up and biking more.

oh and not to mention that age+weightloss really takes the natural padding off the tushie. and boy does my behind hurt!

I want a really nice street bike so I can ride to work in the summertime, but I think they're like $700-$800. OUCH! Maybe I'll have to settle for my bargain mountain bike.
