Getting ready!! The fun begins Monday afternoon. Here's my workout routine for the full 60 Days of Insanity! Challenge:

SUNDAY: NO WORKOUTS… (boo!)

MONDAY: AM: 30 Stationary Bike / 30 Elliptical / Walk @ Work PM: Insanity!

TUESDAY: AM: 20 Stationary Bike / 40 Treadmill PM: Insanity! / Kettle bell DVD

WEDNESDAY: AM: 30 Stationary Bike / 30 Elliptical / Walk @ Work PM: Insanity! / Pilates

You have too much stationary biking try substituting in some jogging, running, or stairclimbers it should keep your workout tedious free

lol... I'm doing all those too every day. ;) Thanks tho! I do elliptical, not too interested in stair climbing. That said, I do intend to start running up the stairs at work since I work on the 15th floor.

That's hardcore, lots of extra cardio. Don't burn yourself out. If I were you, I'd lose like half of those morning cardio sessions. It's a lot of working out to sustain over 60 days.

Girl I do not disagree with you! I do have to keep up with my walking / running though. I'm doing a 5K next month and I've let my running go out of shape. I can't run for more than 10 minutes at a time yet, so I have to keep that moving. I also feel bad if I don't do my elliptical / stationary bike... lol

What to do... what to do... ^_^

Ohh Myy Goodnessss!!!! Okay, Fact #1 I am SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF THIS MORNING!!! Amazing I was able to nearly keep up with them on the Fit Test!! Woot!! The only ones I was much slower than the team was on the ones I had to baby my knees, which I'm totally okay with. Fact #2, by the time the Fit Test was over I had to crawl to write down my results and I felt like I wanted to die... and it was just the Fit Test!!! Fact #3, I will need to use the Beachbody Mat next time because I got some rug burn goin' on. :-P Fact #4, I will DEFINITELY need to do a warm up on my stationary bike tomorrow morning before tackling the workout. The 2 minutes they do is not nearly enough. Fact #5, I'm a PRO at stretching... Ha!! :o) Have a WONDERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL day today WL World!!!

How does the fit test work? Do you do as many reps as possible of every exercise with a time cap?

Yes I remember you telling me that, wow what a great challenge for all of you! All the best and I'll root for you and Hubby. Get it!! :)

Yes, you watch the DVD with Shaun T and his 2 sidekicks. He preps you on what to do and starts the timer for one minute. You have to do as many reps as you can in one minute. Lots of get ups and bend overs and things. I doubt anyone would know exactly how to do these without watching the DVD anyway...

It's really difficult! I like to think I'm far beyond a beginner with this (as the disclaimer does say THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS!!) yet I found it had my on the floor trying to catch my breath! LOL :) It was fun though and as I was able to keep up with the sidekicks (somewhat) it made me feel really proud.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm good to go for tomorrow!!

So, this afternoon I will walk about 3.5 Miles during lunch hour and tonight I will hit my elliptical trainer. Woot!

Oh Em Gee.

Daily Truth #1: Insanity is exactly that... Insane. Truth #2: I had to FF through the last 5 minutes because I simply couldn't hang. That said, I do NOT feel bad about that as I seen several of his sidekicks falling on the floor dying. Truth #3: I am glad I didn't start this any sooner, because it's seriously for already very fit people. Truth #4: I FEEL F'N INCREDIBLE RIGHT NOW!!! Truth #5: I am officially giving up running. Walking is enough.

Have a fantastic and blessed day WL World!!!

Today is day 3...

Truth #1: I didn't think I could get up and do it today, but due to some great advice last night, I got my big butt up and powered through it!! So, I'm saying support is such an important component to anything you're doing!!! Truth #2: Again, this $h!zzz IS TOUGH!!! It had me sweating today. When I say sweating, I mean literally through 3 layers of workout tops!! One of them is super thick too. Heck, even my hands were sweating! And here I thought that was reserved for nervousness. Truth #3: I can already feel a huge difference in my muscle tone. Here I am in this photo workin it out! Heyyy!! LOL :) This is going to give me EXACTLY what I've been trying to find, serious tone to complete my package I worked my butt off for almost 2 years to get. Truth #4: If I'm going to get through this, I'm going to really have to buckle down and eat healthy 99% of the time. I want to feel excellent during my workouts. Truth #5: I will be getting up tomorrow to get my Day 4 on. Woot!!! This is actually a very fun, yet incredibly intense workout, but it's impossible to get bored. You don't even have time to breath much less think about anything besides getting the task done!!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
