Can We Count This As Exersice



Recommended Posts

Can you call working for 61/2 hours sanding a door & side light be consider exersice. And that's just the first sanding still have to sand a second time then stain and seal it.

I can't wait to get back to work next week. My honey-do list was done 2 weeks ago. Now I'm just looking for something to do

Absolutely! I really love the term "active lifestyle" specifically because it has such a broad scope. We often associate it with running or jogging or (fill in the blank) - and as a result a lot of folks never try to have a more active lifestyle or worse yet, attempt a form of exercise that they aren't ready for and soon abandon. There are enormous health and weight loss benefits in countless sustainable activities. Shopping, mowing the lawn, vacuuming, visiting a theme park, walking the dog, cleaning windows, washing the car, and of course just taking a walk. The options are endless and every single one of them counts!! Adopting an "active lifestyle" means looking for and embracing every opportunity to MOVE. It does NOT have to be synonymous with working yourself to exhaustion!

The last 3-4 weeks I have completed the honey-do list that I have been working on for years never enough time to get to it all. It is now complet and a few other things to like the front door. My energy level is higher then it's ever been.

      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.
