How To Get Started Exercising



Recommended Posts

Walking at the Pond yesterday and there were 3 big ladies sitting on a bench and they never moved and they didn't look real happy. I thought, that use to be me. I wanted to move but was afraid I couldn't without getting winded. I didn't want my fat jiggling all over the place and for people to see it. So I started at home. They say exercise 30 minutes a day. Now they say you can break that 30 minutes into 10 minutes 3 times a day. I was like well I can do that.

  1. So to get started, if you can walk.....stand up and walk in place for as long as you can.....20 seconds.......40 seconds......2 minutes....Good (I you can't walk or stand move your arms....punch them out in front of your raise them over your head 2 times.....4 times.......20 times)
  2. Repeat the walking in place for as long as you can 3 or more times a day and keep track of it.
  3. As this becomes more comfortable you should be able to walk for a longer period of time. Increase your time as you can.....5 minutes.....15 minutes
  4. Guess What you are Exercising YEAHHHHHHHHHH:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Every little bit counts.....move your body, it burns calories.

If you really want to lose some weight WEE

Water- drink your Water, propel, crystal light, powerade....

Eat- samller portions (lean cuisines are perfect)

Exercise- move your body however you can everyday

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
