What's Up Vst Gym Rats! January/february 2012



Recommended Posts

Well it has been WAAYYY too quiet in here lately. I'm telling you, I think that's just downright terrible. ;) I'm guilty too so I'm getting this party started NOW!! I have decided that 2012 will finally see me arrive, and arrive I will. I still need to tone up in a lot of areas, and I fully intend to see to it that my Summer is the best I've ever had.

So, I have decided to challenge (oh yes there's that naughty word again... LOL) myself to do a MINIMUM of 30 minutes workout (any) every single day. Starting January 1 and going through February 29th!! Yeah, I get an extra day this coming year!! ciappa.gif

Then, from that point I am going to hit the wonderful world of the P90X. (ohhh what???)

That would dutifully require it's own thread of course.

Anyway, I just have to get this over and done with because I'm ready to just enjoy all my hard work. Don't get me wrong, I do - but the finishing touches are still needed. There's always something more that can be worked out. aureola.gif

I will be checking in here for sure, every single day to keep accountable. I'd like to see more pop by and get back to your routines. Come out, come out - where ever you are!

Good post! I am going to challenge myself to do full body weights( with a program called Group Power my gym runs) at least twice a week. I am ready to take my fitness to a whole new level and do many 5k's this year, but toning is essential for fat burn and my cardio is no longer cutting it. I just became a kick boxing instructor(Group Kick) at my gym, and teach a class two days a week, and I had been doing kick boxing between 3-5 days a week, but I am ready to change it up. Two days kick, two days weights, and one to two days cardio endurance training or another fun exercise with my family!

My challenge to myself is Zumba six days a week (Monday - Saturday) and use my elliptical six days a week. So far last week I did the elliptical 5 days and each morning this week. I have Zumba'd Saturday, Monday and Tuesday so far. The exercise is helping me towards getting these last 10 pounds to go, and is firming ups the jiggles and sags. It is also helping relieve the stress of looking for a job!

      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.
