Have adjusted your schedules?



Recommended Posts

:whoo:Hello Mississippi Bandsters...Have any of you adjusted your exercise schedules--due to the hot weather we've had of late?:help:

I took off 10 days and was sorry for all of that. Because today my body felt ok--but I felt the tired legs after going on my short course of 2.5 miles. I hope the ones who can exercise after work--outdoors--you wait until 6:30 to 7 PM to let the heat die down. I am back at it--funny how my neighbors who doesn't have the band wanted to ride with me. So I asked my sons to let them ride their bikes. Oh well--I am 50 and I rode with two single Moms--23 and 24. I can't brag--but they had a tough time. I will have to get back to the riding. I have to go back to my "Hill of Pain". Yes I have a hill that I can do--but the pain--oh well time to get back...We all fall off...I did--but I am back...:faint:

Oh, rain, hail, shine, I'm at it every day, lol. Its winter here now and I'm glad to see the back of 40 degrees celcius days thats over 120 Fahrenheit I think. Now its rain and darkness that keeps me on the treadmill rather than running outside, which is my real love. I'm sorry daylight savings has finished.

But, you jsut have to keep at it in all conditions dont you?

Yes, I have adjusted my schedule due to the extreme heat, too. Before I went on vacation (week of 6/19) I had been walking 3 miles at the park. I walked on the beach and used the fitness room equipment at the hotel, but when I got home --BOY! The heat had really gotten bad here. Since then, I have been walking an hour on the treadmill and then jumping in the pool. I kind of miss the park, but I'll go back when it cools off.

Hello all....I had to adjust my schedules too. I don't ride too much in the afternoon--since the 90 degree heat seems to hang on too long. It's been sometime 85 degrees and the sun has went down. Or the heat index is still hanging on. I still do a lot of walking--but the one thing I hate is this: I am a member of a Gym here in my tiny town. They don't allow the kids to be there--due to no day care. I am a single Parent and it's frustrating. I guess they never expected anyone to be a single Parent. Funny that a Woman owns the 2 Gyms that are 10 miles apart. The one that has the day care--of course it's not here. $2 an hour is very cheap to pay--if they had one here in Hernando, Mississippi. I would be there each week. But--I can't lie--I am still getting 3 days in of riding each week. I go from 3 to 5 miles. I had a couple of ladies to join me one day--but they quit after 2 days. Ladies 1/2 my age. I am now 50 years old and I was so shocked to see people-23 and 24--unable to ride on a flat road--3 miles.....But--I am hoping to get my schedule to a solid 5 days again. I like the 5 days thing--with two days off...

Hi Lee,

I go to a gym to do my Water exercises so I dont have to rearrange my schedule. I go 3 times a week,,maybe 4. My knee is shot, so Water is best for me.

Regarding the ticker, just go to:

Graphical Tickers for your Signature, Message Boards, Blogs and Web Page

choose the ticker you like , click next, choose again,,click next

enter the info it asks for,,click next

It will show you your current wt loss and BMI

scroll down and copy the bbCode

to to EDIT SIGNATURE on lapbandtalk.com

paste it in the blank box,,click ok

Post something and it should show your ticker at the botton of the post.

I just did it for myself,,I was having a friend do it for me, cause I'm a dummy when it comes to these things!

Ya'll keep posting,,its comforting to see people close to me being successful!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
