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

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!

      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.
