Progress not perfection



Recommended Posts

I bumped up my workout a little today, I was walking 2mph on a 2% incline for 30 min. I bumped it up to 2.2mph same grade for 40 minutes, but ya know that may not be sprinting but when I started I was walking 1mph for 30min, on the same treadmill it has a weight limit of 300lbs I weighed 321 so with every step it would stop when both feet were on it at the same time.

@@amponder you doing great! Slow and steady wins the race is my motto!!

When you get a comfortable place that's the time to pump it up just a little. Even if it's for a few minutes and then drop back down. Getting your heart rate up a notch at intervals is a good way to rev up the metabolism.

Inclines can be rough on the knees so if you find it's rough drop it down and go a little faster vs higher. Keeping the routine varied will keep your body guessing and keep your metabolism moving.

I took this week off...just couldn't handle the gym and the snow but no regrets!

Thats what it takes....small increases/improvements over time.

Keep it up and soon we'll be hearing of you doing 5k's, etc.

Congrats! :)

      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.

      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!
