What Exercise Did You Do Today?



Recommended Posts

My gym offers 12 sessions of free personal training so today was my first strength training with my PT, and then did 30 mins on treadmill.

Hahaha! That was me this weekend. Decided to try to be a rockstar last week and did a 45 min cycling class. Felt fine afterward but then literally couldn't walk the next day. Need to ease back into it haha

My trainer had me using free weights yesterday, doing squats and lunges.....yeah in the words of Bill Cosby...JELL-O!!! Oh dear God I hurt everywhere today, but it feels goooooooood! I am actually looking forward to doing it again. Thanks to a tremendously busy schedule today and tomorrow, I will not be able to get back to the gym until Saturday.

It's nice to think that an hour of exercise could just about wipe out all the calories you ate for the day, LOL!

Would anyone like to share how long it was before the were able to do more than just walking? I'm not supposed to lift more than 10 lbs for the first four weeks, so obviously weights and I imagine sit-ups are out... when did you start running and doing more high-impact stuff? My goal is to run the same 10M run in the Fall that I did two years ago, but hopefully weighing 80 pounds lighter!

So pleased to be able to join this group "officially." I walked around the little lake by my house (1.8 miles). It was a 38 minute walk (lots of stopping for stretching). I'm looking forward to beating my time tomorrow. Thanks for motivating me!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
