May Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

My challenge is getting through a move from one house into a new house w/out gaining. :cool2:

I fell off the wagon the last week of April and now I'm trying to get back on it. Rains came and I just didn't go out of the house, I didn't do anything.

We cleaned up the yard on Saturday, and today I AM GOING TO THE GYM. I am. I am. I am. I am.

Goal for May (a realistic one for right now) is to go to the gym at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. I know that's small, but I just need to keep moving and release stress for May. Once we're settled into the new house, I'll be doing more. (It has a pool, so I'll be swimming!!! I love swimming!)

Ok, alarm went off at 0345 this morning. I immediately reset it for 0515. Just could not get out of bed.:cool2:

Got softball tonight. Tomorrow I'll hit the gym for cardio in the morning and upper body in the afternoon. Friday will be light cardio in the morning and maybe light legs in the pm.. Want fresh legs for my 5k on Saturday.

Had my first being stuck experience ever yesterday at lunch. Had a fill last Thur. and am tighter than ever before and lunch did not agree with me at all. So, no exercise yesterday pm.

This morning, just did an easy 1.6 miles on the treadmill followed by 10 min. cooldown. Legs are feeling GOOD for tomorrow mornings 5k run.

I'll get into the gym this afternoon for the upper body workout I was supposed to do yesterday.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
