Feb 2007 Bandsters: April Challenge



Recommended Posts

Okay I really like how Boo has set up the challenge for her group so I really hope she does not mind me kinda stealing the set up. Instead of a certain number of days per week exercising lets shoot for 20 days of movement, 30 minutes per day. The 30 minutes does not have to be consecutive, it can be broken up into two 15 minutes sessions or even three 10 minutes sessions since some of us might be very new to exercise and need it! We can do it!!!!!!

So let's shoot for 20!

I am totally on board with you guys! Great idea! I have a full time job and 2 toddlers so it should be a real challenge to find time to exercise regularly, but I am up for it. I really need to get moving!:)

I feel your pain honey! I have a 6 year old kindergartener who is also in dance and softball and a 3 year old and I work 46 hours a week. I usually get up at 4:45 in the morning to get my exercising in. The first few times it was relly rough but once you get used to it it is not so bad.

I'm up for the exercise challenge! I'll be joining you by walking on treadmill 20 minutes and a 10 minute workout with my stretch bands 4 times a week starting April 1st. I think this a reachable goal for 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.
