I would just like to be able to post my daily (or weekly) exercise just for encouragement and accountability. I will be 63 next week. My goal is to do something cardio-wise 45 minutes a day 4-5 x week. For me that will mean walking or bicycling. My band is fine but my butt is a little slow getting back in the groove. I did walk 2 1/2 miles today and it did include some hills. At this point in time I'm not interested in how fast or how far but rather doing something on a regular basis. With the cooler weather coming I will be doing some hiking in the woods. I applaud all of you who are already fit or on your way there with utilizing your band and moving your bodies. Thanks!

Back home. It was a very emotional week. Caught a nasty cold while I was in the show me state. Only got one hike in before I got sick but hope to be back on track ASAP. Totally LOVE coming back here and reading all the accomplishments. You guys are awesome! And thanks for the support. I really appreciate it. AND...now that the government opened the parks back up I'm good to go at the battlefield.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hoping you feel better soon.

long week at work......some issues with that (friend) who i wrote about who didnt need wls and of course....the daily ups and downs...and i can say my band remained faithful and the very least that i could do was to hang in there...and not let my world (allow me to overeat)..nor over eat and claim i couldnt control it...excuse...i can control it..i did control it and i am controlling it..

i chose to stay strong for me....i am stronger mentally than i give myself credit for

wanted to check in........hang strong my friends...

.......worked out.....step aerobics.....nothing like finishing and knowing you did your body good..

No basement workout today but have been cranking outdoors. It's blustery here and good to get everything put to bed before the snow flies.

Choosing yourself first is a powerful thing, and not succumbing to old ways of dealing with emotions. Admiring your fortitude sending best wishes your way! Happy Saturday!

5k run and 35 minutes on the trainer today for me. Happy Monday everyone.

Didn't want to work out today. Monday, ugh. 6am got son breakfast, lunch and out the door. Husband begged off PT exercises and my exercise partner was late so I climbed under the covers to snooze. Then she arrived. By then I really really did not want to work out, but we did it anyway and it felt great. I am a different woman at the end of 40 on the treadmill, 20 recumbent bike. Then this afternoon we did the PT exercises, too -- weights. All good!
