February 2009 Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

I did the swim thing for 1 hour 15 min. I'm not sure how far I went. Did one 500, a 6 x 100 and a 400 and some other stuff. I lost track. We did a lot of drills and I learned how to do my hands properly and that helped me swivel my hips.

No treadmill today, my lower back has been letting me know that 2-3 wks straight of running is not what it wants.:biggrin: So, did 45 minutes on elliptical, pausing every 10 minutes to pump out 25 pushups. Btwn that and some before and after, I'm to 225 pushups already today.

Tonight will be upper body and a little more cardio.

Nothing this weekend as it is my 2nd "guys" weekend. Gotta take some time off:tt2:

Stationary bike. 45 min.

I've started adding in hill work. It's weird because the hills are so hard but overall I go more miles and my average heart rate is lower and my calories burned is lower. So, in some ways, it appears to not be as good a workout. But my METS where the same.

Hey Warriors,

Haven't posted in a while - January was NOT a good month for my workouts...

Back on track now, though - been walking every day at work now that the sidewalks are much clearer. Still haven't been in the gym, work has been a bit crazy and I don't have any energy when I leave.

Will be going to the gym this weekend to hopefully re-jump start my habit. DH does maintenance at a gym and they were tossing rowing machines, so he brought one home. Already downloaded a workout for it to my IPhone, so I'll be breaking that in this weekend.

Ya'll put this sometimey-jock-wanna-be to shame!:ohmy:

Yesterday: Unexpected road trip out of town, so no exercise.

Today: 4 miles, 1% incline, for 60 minutes. I was able to go 1 extra mile, by decreasing the incline. My goal now is to do 5 miles in 60 minutes by March 15.:frown:

Georgia Girl sorry to hear you were sick.

Lulu, let me know how golfing is with the Wii.

I did a brick!

We biked for about 8 miles (an up and back), then practiced our transitions (mine was about 30 seconds as I just took off my bike helmet and gloves and put on my running hat) and then ran.

My legs were like jelly though. Yikes.

      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!

      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!!
