Walking is just not cutting it!!



Recommended Posts

So, i'm sooooo careful about charting my weight daily and looking back over the last 4 weeks i've realized that i lose the most on Sunday and Monday, which coincide with the huge amount of dancing i do on Saturday night into Sunday morning... but for the days i'm just walking... zip!! SO... from now on i'm going to forget about walking... it uses a lot of time for very few calories burned... instead i'm going to focus on higher intensity aerobic exercise!!!

Videos I've downloaded:

- Bellydance Fitness for Weight Loss-- Too Hip with Rania

- Cardio Bellydance Workout with Dolphina

- Luscious- The Bellydance Workout

- Suhaila-- Fitness fusion Yoga

- Yoga Meltdown Level 1 & Level 2 (with Jillian Michaels-- i ♥ her!)

- Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (very hard!! OMG)

- Jillian Michaels -- Banish Fat Boost Metabolism

- Jillian Michaels-- No More Trouble Zones

Aren't you in San Antonio? Where are you going to get these classes? At a particular gym?

I'm the opposite. I notice I lose the most when I'm walking. I walk about 8-10 miles at least 3 times a week. The weight melts off, and I feel amazing. I think I get that "walker's high". When I Zumba and go dancing, I have fun, but it's only ounces I lose.

8-10 miles is a lot! Good for you! Doesn't that take forever?

about 2.5 to 3 hours. It usually depends on how fast I walk. I discovered, though, walking is the one exercise that I really enjoy. It clears my mind. Plus when I don't walk my hips hurt really bad, I normally walk to open them up. After I have a long walk, then I can do other exercises. I love it.

I am with Shanny I love walking. I walk a little over two hours with hills five days a week and take my dog for a brist 45 minute walk every night. I like to call it my mental health time because I can hear myself think. Most days it doesn't even feel like exercise.

      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.
