I walked back and forth in my parking lot. Figured if I fell flat on my face, I wouldnt have to far to drag myself into the house!!

My goal is to make the walks out to the street by Sat Morn.

This works!

Well done!

There is also a run a 3k app that I found more manageable for my dislike of exercise. Slightly over 2.5 miles. It is on itunes. I am not sure about google play.

Tonight on my break at work, I am going to try another 9 min, then that will be 18 min!

YOU CAN DO THIS, BAR, YOU REALLY CAN!!

Fantastic! Congratulations, and I am trilled that you decided to try another bit later at work.

So, I was having a pity party earlier today. I am tired, to wrung out, can't do this, can't do that.

Had a nice talk on the phone with my sister.

Checked my email and found all the wonderful responses to this thread.

Had an energy burst and actually got myself to go out for a walk!

I did wk 1, day 1 of C25K.

I am not running, I just use it for motivation, a timer, and to remind to try to push myself now and again.

I also liked to reminder to stretch at the end.

Very proud of myself:)

For the many people who have responded to this tread I say thank you, for your support and encouragement, and your willingness to share of your own exercise experiences.

Many blessings,

Michelle

Thanks! :D

Yes I weigh myself every day AND I DON'T RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE DO IT! :o I've seen so many people on this site beat themselves up because the weight isn't "falling off" and the first thing I ask them is if they weigh themselves every day. Pick one day in the week that works for you and stick with it. Since you won't dare weigh yourself everyday you're ahead of the game - stick to that!

You should be proud of yourself - well done.

Now do it again tomorrow! :)

walking is a perfect start. better to start with something doable and not set expectations too high too soon. try to walk a little more/longer each day. that will give you a sense of accomplishment and also set achievable goals that you will feel success and want to do more. try Leslie sansones walk away the pounds videos if you can't leave the house. they are a great start. you do 1 then 2 then 3 miles and can use arm weights too. when that's get too easy you can move on to even harder workouts!

Michelle,

I was dog gone tired today. My sister took my mom to her CT scan, my dad was doing okay...so I slept....and slept. I am three weeks out of surgery and still positively exhausted. I spent the entire day sleeping. Woke up at 4, and considered going back to sleep, but decided I better get up and drink some Protein instead. Then I visited with the family got dinner ready and retired to my private area. There I found your post, and while I had considered walking before dinner, I didn't do it.

So here I was all relaxed and I get to reading your post. You did fantastic! I commend you on splitting it up and making it doable. And thank you for the kick in the pants.

First I was gonna go for a walk, then I wasn't because Mosquitos are bad here right now. Then I just figured that I started this thread for support and accountability and that meant I had a responsibility to follow through! So...off I went. Did C25K same as yesterday. Harder this time only because I have this unending nausea at times, and I spent 5 minutes heaving at the end. But I live on a farm so no one witnessed my display and screw'em if they had! I did my walk, I don't get far in distance but I did the full 25 minutes and stretched. Amen for all that.

Thanks for being out there, for working on your own fitness changes and for checking in! I appreciate the support.

Good luck with your walk tommorow.

Many blessings,

Michelle

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
