13th - 19th June. Pledge your points!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone and Welcome,

This thread is for everyone who needs motivation and encouragement to get moving and to help make us accountable to ourselves and one another.

The Plan is to draw up a new thread each week, running from Sunday to Saturday.

You are awarded "Points" for exercise and everyone works to their own ability.

You get 1 Point for every 10 minutes of exercise.

You choose whatever activity you wish.

Each week you pledge your points on board - making a committment to achieve them, and then you strive all week to achieve your own goal.

You keep your own score and at the end of the week you must let us all know just how well you did.

Hopefully, this will be FUN!

We are looking for EVERYONE to join in, so come on and Pledge your points!

OK here I am. I have to adjust to this Sunday start of the week thing. I was thinking yesterday ended my week last week. OK so I am going to pledge 24 points (that's 240 mins right?) for this week.

Yesterday I did 1hr 10mins so that's 7 points so far, 17 to go. We are out of town Fri-Sun this weekend so I am hoping to get in all my exercise for the week by Thursday. We will be walking a lot on the weekend though.

Sunday - 5K - 70 mins - 7 pts

Monday - walk - 40 mins - 4 pts

Wednesday - aerobics - 45 mins - 4.5 pts

also Wednesday - cleaning (vigorous) - 60 mins - 6 pts

so tomorrow I need about 30 mins... but I plan to do 45 mins again so I should meet my goal whoo hoo! How are you doing?

Hi Christie,

Well Thurs has arrived, so I suppose you are getting ready to head off?

You are really doing so well with your exercise and I can see that you are getting a great mix.

I am being very slow to start but I won't give up. Slow and steady gets us there! I try to go out most evenings for a stroll with my 2 little dogs. They love it! I am still feeling a little tired at the end of the working day. It is now approx 7 weeks since surgery so I am not quite sure if this is to be expected. Maybe, I am just a little lazy? Exercise is a habit , and it is a hard one to get used to.

Enjoy your weekend,

Booklean

Sorry I never checked in before the weekend. I didn't make it to my goal by Thursday, but I did 3 hikes over the weekend so I'm sure I got it in for the week! :001_wub:

      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!
