December Exercise



Recommended Posts

Way to go, Jess! I hear Zumba is fun. I would take that, but the chick who teaches it is not my favorite person...I cannot stand to be around people who are always gloomy and negative, and she is. (And to think she is a personal trainer! Lord, she'd train me into opening a vein after much of her attitude.) But I digress...

I'm so glad you are rockin' the cardio!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today was 180 crunches and an hour and a half on shoulders. We were supposed to to legs tomorrow, but I really want to do biceps/triceps, and my partner agreed, so I'm looking forward to that.

Yeah, I know. I've never seen her teach a class...I would hope she would be peppy. But the true person that I see every day sits behind the desk, never smiling, talks in a monotone, acts holier-than-thou...so if she was peppy in a class I was taking, it would piss me off because I would know she's a big fake. (Uh-oh...are my cat claws showing? :omg:)

I agree with you, JM...I feel so good when I work out. Makes me all happy and wanting more and more!

With all you guys around, I don't think I even get a medal!!!

By the way, does anyone know if AngelNurse got rid of the cold so she could go through with surgery? Not sure if I missed a post, or if she just hasn't posted yet. I know that surgery is tomorrow 12/20...I'll be thinking about her!

I wouldn't want to go to class with a trainer like that either! I know I am going to get my butt kicked at Zumba and I am already sore, and I am trying not to catch this cold that is hot on my trail. I getting ready to head to the gym. I don't want to go but this site and all of you are such great reinforcement. You are all doing so great! Stefanie your pictures on before and after look so good! JM you'll get a medal for sure! Everybody keep up the great work! We are all doing a great job!!! Someone remind me of that when I can't walk this evening! Hahahahaha! Have a great day!

Hi guys!

I couldn't get on this thing yesterday for some odd reason. Anyways, I did spin class last night. Even though I am still sore from shoveling. I seem to have pulled a groin muscle I guess..if only I would have pulled it for other reasons..lol :( Ohhh and I pulled a muscle in my right shoulder somehow doing pushups during the class. The instructor saw me do it and was worried but I'm fine really. Geeze I'm like falling apart. It's much better this morning though thank goodness.

Other good news for me. My mom last night paid for a full year family membership to the Y for me. I'm sooo happy. I told her it really is the best present you could get for me. I was lucky too I got 100 bucks off. I was awarded a little scholarship. Plus I got a free month and a cool tshirt.

All you guys are doing great! I was thinking of trying zumba too..maybe next year :confused: I hope anglenurse is doing well. I'm soooooo envious! I'm hoping next year I could get some plastic surgery too. Well gotta reach my goals first. Anyways..this is hell week for us. Stress, food everything being thrown at us. I'm not gonna watch what I eat to closely and just enjoy it. But gonna make sure I still exercise. Hopefully I'll just stay even.

Dibaby, I am hearing you about the stress week. I am sorry you pulled your groin muscle. I am feeling your pain today. I did the zumba class but had to stop 3/4 of the way. I have done something to my hip or it's my sciatica acting up. Oh I totally feel knocked down today. I have this cold and I am trying not to let it get the best of me but boy it's kicking my butt. I am getting ready to take a tylenol and lay down for a while. I did however manage to do the elliptical for 30 before zumba. I did the class for 40/60 min. Wow it kicks my butt, my heart rate got so high, I had to slow down.... Going to see the chiropractor in the morning got to get fixed. I hope you all have great workouts today! Good luck Dibaby, congrats on the y membership.

yeah my family membership would have been 740 but I got it for 640 with the little scholarship they offered me since I'm a single mom and all. The best part is that daycare is free with the membership. That alone is worth alot. Alot of gyms don't even offer that..or it's at a premium price. Still that was alot for my mom to pay out for a xmas gift. But she knows there is no way I could afford it. Anyways..it's been a great year :)

Btw I'm about 5 hours from Dayton..lol

      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!!
