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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
