Seems Like Life Revolves Around Exercising And Food



Recommended Posts

do you like running/jogging? maybe try signing up for a race. it will give you a goal to look forward to and it's more about having fun completeing the race and less about "ugh i need to exercise today" if you know what I mean. that sometimes works for me! (and i dont even really like to run!)

I do like walking and really want to get myself to where I can run. There's actually a 5K in my town next month that I want to do. I walked it last year and would like to run it this year but its a good day if I'm able to run half a mile straight :). He did it to me again a little while ago. I did go out and do an hour in the elliptical and he asked me if I exercised I said yes I did an hour on the elliptical his response was "that's it? Why? Kinda weak wasn't it?" I told him that's all I felt like doing, he seemed like he got mad. Before that I was feeling pretty good with myself that I even went out and did the hour :(

Does your Xbox have the kinect? I use mine to workout and they have several different Zumba games.

It did but the kids sold it to get a game :(. I think I'm gonna move the DVD player to the garage/gym and break out my exercise DVDs :)

I agree!! I am only doing 30 min 4 times a week. You should be proud of that hour.

Finding the time to exercise is the hardest for me. I have an in home gym. I set up a flat screen with DVD and dvr for my fav shows. Sooo I have to watch them on the treadmill. I do this three times a week for an hour. Makes me feel great and I always wonder why I fight it so much. I've come to the conclusion it's my fat cells trying to stop me lol. I get bored too. Now that the weather has been sooo nice I've been walking the neighborhood. shake it up when it gets boring. In Austin we have tons of hike and bike trails I take advantage when I can. Don't give up!! Don't let the fat cells win!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
