My exercise routine-finally



Recommended Posts

After procrastinating for 6 weeks, I've finally established a routine that I think I can stick with. The coach at my school told me I should see results with it. I hope he knows what he's talking about.


  • I use the weight machines in the school gym for 15 minutes during my free period. I hope to get up to 30, but I'm nowhere near strong enough yet.
  • At home, I ride my recumbent bike for 20-30 minutes
  • After that, I do a short kettlebell workout for 5-10 minutes.

Sounds good. I need to get back with it myself. Last year I walked in my first 1/2 marathon, took 3 hrs and 50 minutes. I was #2000 out of 2012 entrants. I am so wanting to have my surgery by end of May so I can recoup and start training again. The YMCA starts a jumpstart program May 17th, but the real training starts in July. Hoping to cut some time off. Keep up the good work, you inspire me to get it going. Thanks.

I'm only 3 weeks out and feel like a serious couch potato. But my energy is so low and my calorie intake is under 200. Once I get that in check I will be ready to start. I just replaced the battery in my fit. We have TRX system at home that I want to start using. It's a band kind of contraptions. My friend who's the strength training teacher at our local school swears by it. I'm really trying to focus on my arms. I'm not your typical women with nice lean long muscles. I was always very muscular and hope to be again so I can avoid some of the excess flapping.

      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.
