I Love Exercise!



Recommended Posts

Just finished my 2nd spin class and I had forgotten how much fun exercise is. I was out of breath, dripping sweat (I love to sweat) with legs of Jello, but I burned 400 calories in 40 minutes and I had an endorphin high that makes the finest pot look like so much crab grass. I feel really good. I can hardly wait until I can get the road bike and the hiking boots out. I may just have to take the family out snow shoeing this week end.

I wish I was like that. I don't really enjoy exercise, I did for a while after surgery, but the luster faded. I do enjoy walking my pooches, but that is about it. However, walking my dog can be considered exercise, rather having my freight train of a dog walk me.

Once you find the right exsersize for yourself you will learn to love it also. I love going to my zumba classes. They are sooooo much fun and I burn about 750 calories per class. I even do 2 classes a day (2hours) at times cause I just don't want them to end!

Me too! The bug really gets you :) I went spinning today too and with my other workouts burned over 1000 calories at the gym. It sets me up for a healthy day.

Oh and LuuLuu, please don't look at this as a slam against your post. I understand totally where you are coming from. I have a treadmill, a stationary bike and a complete weight machine set up in my basement and I HATE using them. I trick myself to use the treadmill by putting my laptop on the arms and playing Civilization 5 for an hour as I walk.

But hiking and biking really rock my world...

      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.
