What Exercise Did You Do Today?



Recommended Posts

We've replaced sitting at home in front of the TV every night with going to the local YMCA and working out/swimming.... all 3 of us!! Going to Zumba for the first time tonight....cant wait! then meeting up with hubby (my daughter is out of town with her school group till Sat) and working out then swimming. We both feel much better....and I must say we're a little more frisky after our workouts too!!

LOVE THE GYM! (lol)

Walked and jogged the neighborhood. First 5k in 2 weeks. I'm a little nervous. I will be walking lots, but I'm feeling pretty proud just doing it. Hopefully by next spring ill be able to run one without stopping.

So proud of you!! I was planning on a 5k in Charleston, SC April 6th ... but I have to work instead! But I will be more than ready for next years 5k!! hopefully at goal and can actually RUN!

5 miles on the treadmill uphill, weight circuit, and sauna

I have a question for you.... what incline do you use? how long does it take you to do 5 miles? what weights do you do and how long in the sauna....(have you tried the steam room as well?)

Sorry to be asking so much... but I could use the help in getting my routine in place.

I started my incline at 4% and increase by 1% each week....it takes me about 60 minutes to do the 5 miles walking and running, weights it just depends on what I'm doing for my upper body I use 5 to 20 pounds and legs I go up to 50 to 80 pounds, 12 to 15 reps and I go into the sauna 15 to 30 minutes just depends on how I feel. You have to set up a program that you're comfortable with. When toning use light weights and do a lot of reps per set and get at least 30 minutes of cardio. You have to listen to your body and push yourself...set goals each week.

      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.
