Exersice Band Wagon



Recommended Posts

I just took 2 days off of exercise and have made poor eating choices. I shall go back to the gym first thing tomorrow morning. I really believe the exercising helps with the food attitude. I just need the staying power to continue working out!

I am on vacation and have begun using a treadmill for 30 minute periods. It's not my first choice of exercise but it does work up a sweat!

I don't know if we have talked about it in this thread or not, but I just purchased a Wii Fit and I LOVE it. It weighs you, measures your BMI, lets you set goals, plus gives you fun games that let have you building up a sweat and getting your heart pounding in no time. I find I can do 30 minutes on the Wii in no time. Plus, it is a lot of fun to sit back and watch others play, especially the Hula Hoop.

We had very heavy rains last month and assisted to my pool's pH and alkalinity to go up, then algea big time. It's been out of commission as i try to remedy it back to help save $$ right now (DH is in school FT, not working). SO i've replaced my swimming with 30mins treadmill followed by 15mins strength training for arms, abs, thighs, and rump. 5days a week, 6 is a blessing! I walk thru neighborhhod once or twice a week to break it up. I do miss the pool. My back flab is not tightening up as good as it was so hopefully I can get back to it soon. A friend of mine showed me some exercise ball ideas that are really making a diff in my thighs, even my DH is noticing!

Of good note, when I tried my treadmills preset #1 workout, I couldn't do it. Now I can!!!

This week has been sloooow on the exercise front. I try to walk at least a mile a day... but I know that's not enough. I hit the gym each day last weekend (Friday through Sunday, inclusive), and then again on Tuesday night. Since then, nada. Monday was a planned day off. Wednesday and Thursday were not.

Tonight I am going to try and go before dinner with my family, but I am not too hopeful about my timing. So, Saturday and Sunday will be making up for it. =)

Dragged my ass out to the gym at 9pm, and so glad I did. I put in 40 mins of cardio and then came home and did some stretching and strength on the ball.

This morning I dressed in my gym clothes to force me out today and get it done before I do anything else. I haven't left yet, but I started on the ball this morning and plan to hit the gym after Phelps swims this afternoon.

      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.

      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!!
