January 2009 Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

I am thinking about joining a gym. Do you all belong to a gym or do you exercise at home?

I'm surprised at how much I enjoy my gym! I get a much better workout than I ever did at home, and I don't feel as out of place as I expected to.

I still do some things at home, though - Crunches on the ball, walking my dogs, some Wii Fit yoga.

Thanks! It is so expensive that I did not want to sign up and not use it. I start my free 7 day pass on Sunday so hopefully it is an awesome place. It is brand new.

Today: Just arrived home from work, so I don't have time to exercise. Again, another accident on blood alley took the lives of a child and adult, :sad:which delayed my home time.

I ran for 20 min straight! I was sure I wouldn't be able to do it, too.

So 45 min. on treadmill.

Last night was leg workout and another 65 minutes on elliptical.

This morning I set the wrong alarm and barely had time to get into work on time. Left calf was extremely tight this morning and has not loosened up today. That coupled with DD apparently having the flu and DW needing to get some errands done, looks like today is out completely.:cool:

I had a rest day. My triceps were happy but my quads are still killing me. I think I may have to go to two rest days a week. :thumbup:

Woke up this morning and left calf was better but still stiff. Still came in for 45 minutes on elliptical. Glad I did it, calf got better as I was on it.

I'll be going back up after work this afternoon for another 45-60 minutes.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
