OK, I made this thread for lap band patients (only please)

to come and say what they did for exercise on any giving day

it doesnt matter what it is

or how long you did it for

as long you do it (as that is what matters)

30 minutes step aerobics....walking thru grocery store (still a wowsie moment esp when i use to not be able to)

and housework......i have a long ranch house..back and forth down the hall COUNTS in my opinion yall

Got in a 5k run after work again this evening... 50* degrees!! here near St. Louis this evening @ 6pm. Beautiful!! People were sitting out on their porches, patios, like it was spring. and the high for tuesday will be 17*......lol

commercial break:

back to the program......

CG that chart above is quite interesting to me. ( thanks for posting it ) Wonder what you're burning between the 15-30 minute timeframe? I believe that the fat burning picks up intensity after a certain time, also depending on what you've ate/drank before working out.

This morning 5k run: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/433110082

Now off to the Dr. (PCP) for a checkup...physical, etc.

Hoping to get in a ride this afternoon, depending on what I hear from him.......

me and hub and kabo the doberman walked....i kept a very fast pace (i know fat burns in oxygen)

...it was a mile with 2 steep inclines (my thighs felt it let me tell you)..

as nike says...carolina girl, just do it

feel bad about (merely walking) and thinking it isnt important as some exercises???

......think again cheecka

50 minutes....I'm impressed...really! I'm on the treadmill every day and 50 minutes is great....

I will be banded next week, Monday the 27th. But I thought I would get a jump on the exercise, today I was at Disney World. I walked around both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot for several hours. Tomorrow, it is back to my regular workweek. Wake up and go to the gym by 5 AM, then had to work. I'm looking to go for 40 minutes on the elliptical tomorrow.

I'm hoping that after I am banded it won't take too long to get back to the gym. I'm also looking forward to taking my puppy dogs on walks around the lake more often.

15 mile and 1 hr 20 minute bike ride. Burned off 1179 calories.

WOW!!

I got up this morning remembered it was my Mothers 66th B. Day so I took my protein drink and then walked up and down my street as it has hills and inclines where I live so then I went to the store and bought a Carrot cake and I didn't even have a piece so proud of y self , then I went to a few stores to find a sweater that would fit her as she wears a 5x , but some just don't fit as some of us understand , then I fixed ground turkey tacos for the family and I had my chicken ceasar salad , then one more protein drink and have been drinking water all day but I got in a lot of walking today , so I guess I did for my first day off for my one week vacation from work , but at least I did get my but off the couch and did it.

Walk/ran on the treadmill for 65 min and 20 min on the elliptical some weight training for total of 1500 calorie burn

ok yesterday i did 35 mins on the elliptical and then walked for 40mins with some girlfriends when i got home from work....

going to see if i can keep that going.

I always start out my day planning my workout regime and psyching myself up with the best of intention. 5 min right before heading out to do it, i get discouraged and think what is the point.. (i'm in a stall)? After pushing myself out of the door, completing a 60min crossfit, + 60min kick boxing yesterday, i feel like i'm on top of the world again. Annoying mental cycle... today 8K jog after work.

crappy day (mood wise...) but came home and knocked out step aerobics

def worked off some frustration and unclogged my mind from BS
