Exercise Today



Recommended Posts

I've been slacking on my exercise the past few days. I'm going to get back into it today with a 4 mile recumbant bike ride.

BTW Telly, you rock!

I'm very excited and I'm always planning my next home escape to the gym :rant:

Emilee, I know you can't wait and neither can I. Once you settle in, life will be great for you again. Anything I can help you with I will! ;)

Tricia, no...you rock girl!

:help:

When did you start exercising? I'm 8 days out and would like to start--but you know those nagging little residual surgery pains keep me from jumping in.

I wouldn't get in the pool for 6 Weeks. My Daughter was Banded a month ago. The doctor said she can now lift weight up to 25 pounds, then unlimited after 6 weeks.

i started a slow walk on the treadmill after 2 weeks. but i mean slow.

today:

- waked 20 mins 4mph, 5.5%

- ran 10 mins 5 mph 5.5%

- 300 crunches, situps etc

- 150 arm exercises 7 lbs and 10 lbs

- 350 leg lifts

then i bought a bike! it was so much fun. i went over to target with a friend and we both bought bikes and rode around the neighborhood. i can't believe how much more tiring bike riding is than when i was eight!

I know! I bought a bike at Walmart and was so excited to get on and ride, then, damn! It was so much harder than I remembered, why wasn't it like that when we were younger? I used to ride my bike across town every single day in the summer to my friends house then onto the outdoor pool.

I have only been able to get 4-6 miles on it now. Once we move and get settled that is one thing I am really going to start working on. Getting my endourance up and biking more.

I want a really nice street bike so I can ride to work in the summertime, but I think they're like $700-$800. OUCH! Maybe I'll have to settle for my bargain mountain bike.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
