Working Out is ALL about showing up Daily



Recommended Posts

I really didn't initially start exercising till about 3 months ago or so and I started with the attitude of - I HATE WORKING OUT - then i realized if weight loss and better health is what I really want THEN I gotta do what I gotta do and it all began with - SHOWING UP DAILY at the GYM - NOW, I just and still walk for 45 minutes, swim for 10 and sauna and hot tub for the remainder of my time there daily. My mind fought me ALOT for a long time but this month I commited to myself to make the entire month daily. I had started out once a week, then twice a wekk then every other day and NOW EVERY DAY and I am thinking that I will continue doing it like this UNTIL I get EXACTLY where I want to be. ACTION is the call and SHOWING UP DAILY at the GYM makes that all come together and I thought I would share my experience with everyone. It is no big deal, I DO NOT press myself during my workout either. BUT, I do show up EVERY DAY. Good Luck to All - You too can do it.....

BTW-I just exceeded my personal goal of 100 lbs in 12 months, I did it in 11. God is Good to me.

Oh, I wish I could do it every day...but I cannot. I can, however, walk with my girls on the days I can't...and I do!

Thanks for the inspiration. My goal is 100lbs by one year as well. Although, to be frank, I'd like to be at goal by then...but let's keep it reasonable, shall we!!!

Great post!

Wow. 100 pounds in 11 months. I hope I can do that. Although I think I will just be happy with 100 pounds period.

OK well this just motivated me to get off of my behind shortly and go walking. I shoot for 5 days per week, but this week I am at only 4, so I will go get that 5th day.

Thanks.

      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!
