Treadmill victory



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say that I jogged on my treadmill today for the first time! I am a 63 yo woman and don't think I have ever done that bf. I tell you I felt so good doing it and will continue this so I can enter a race with my daughter this summer for sure! I was floating..and sweating but didn't kill me!:wink0:

Congratulations what an accomplishment. I wish I had that stamina. I have all to do to get myself to walk on the treadmill and then I increase it to a rapid pace but that's it. Best wishes I hope you make it to do that run with your daughter.

Thank you all.

Another question. I hate to say it but my butt is nonexistent, flat as a board and was wondering if I keep jogging will it help the ole butt? I can feel some tightness in the glutes now, but is there hope?

Great job! I've heard running is a great way to tone up, so maybe it would help with the butt. Mine's also flat and it jiggles terribly...if the jogging does it for you, let me know because I think I would get past being terrified of running and try it if it would help with this Jello butt.

Jiggle butt! So funny Dee dee and I know you work out and dance so I must be looking at some serious work on mine!! I will keep on and let you know. My daughter runs and she complains also about her butt jiggling but she doesn't do any other exercise and sporadic at that. Buns of steel is my hope but hamburger buns is more like it for me.

Itstime, congrats on the endorphine rush working out. That is great.

FYI, from a mans view, nothing wrong with hamburger buns...

I hear running definitely tones up, but all the runners that I know personally suffer from tiny hiney.

Now, I love, love, love squats, lunges, and these funky tippy toe exercises I do to help my toosh. I have noticed that I'm getting a little curve to the bottom of my butt, and jeans actually look good on me.

I wouldn't mind the tiny hiney (cute phrase) so much as long as it was lifted and not a big bowl of Jello. You're right though, lunges and squats probably need to become my best friend.

Congrats! That's awesome...I cannot even try to jog on the treadmill for fear of falling, so I stick with the sidewalk. :)

      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.
