Any One Up For an Exercise Challenge?

[New Hope 37]

Gosh, Betty, when you get done there, you can come here and REALLY go to work! LOL Girl, what are you going to do once you REALLY do get some energy? I can't keep up with you now!

Well, I didn't make a list but I've been scrubbing and cleaning since I last posted around 4:30 a.m., so that's 5-6 hours of aerobics, and I'm pooped!

MONOPOLY anyone going around that board a few times makes me sweat--lol--but i too am walking anyway--good luck to all!~

Wow, did I need this challange. I have only been banded for 3 weeks but need to get started. I keep telling myself that once I lose a good amount of weight then maybe I would have more energy to exercise. A crock of crap, I know. Anyway, I believe this will help me, if I have to check in and be accountable. I still feel so lazy. One true thing is that since about a week after my sugery, I have had terrible back pain and once I get home from work, I don't feel like exercising. I'll have to make an extra effort and at least walk the dogs - one at a time maybe (there are three of them). That should get me started. :Bunny Thanks!

Hi, Sherry, and welcome! What part of Texas is Burleson located in? Congratulations on your band and on a new grandbaby! You'll be getting healthier and be able to keep up w/that child now! Please take it easy on abdominal exercises until you've gotten your dr. to release you. Please come back and visit with us!

[Guest mylailie]

Hi Marie, and thanks for the welcome. Burleson is just south of Ft. Worth. My Dr. said I could start exercising 2 weeks after banding. He wasn't specific on what kind of exercise or how much but I did get the go-ahead. I figure I'll start with walking and build from there. I didn't start today but I did do a lot of cleaning and laundry etc. so maybe that will get me through the day.

Mylailie, there are several Texas Bandsters here. Leatha and Betty (Iluvharleys) are in your area. I'm in Houston, with several others. Please do take it easy. You're still recouping from surgery. We don't want you to "undo" what you fought so hard to get. Please listen to your body, if it hurts, "don't do it".

[DeLarla 22]

How-deeee ya'll! I'm not from Texas, I'm from Jersey then Cali now Vegas, Baby! I had to work off all that miserable exercise from this morning by going to the movies & eating greasy popcorn and candy - yum, she said candy! Good night everyone!

[Iluvharleys 15]

Hi Sherry - Glad to meet you! We actually ride our Harleys near your area sometimes. I have actually been in your town, only not on the Harleys. I am in Grand Prairie, so not too far from you.

Held on for dear life in wicked windy weather on the back of hubby's bike. That counts for exercise in my book. I'm going to bed early cuz I'm walking in the morning. Somebody spray me with Water if I make any lame excuses in the morn.

I'm lazy lazy lazy. I got up, took my son to school, and since I didn't have anything else going on at work today - I went back home and WENT TO BED! So, somebody smack me upside the head! This is not good.

On a brighter note - I did make an appointment for my first fill. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to get to Tijuana!

Ok I posted last week that I was game for this challenge..well I did not exercise one single time and I lost 3 lbs.. go figure

But today is Monday again and I am going to get on my bike as soon as I finish my lunch I promise!! 4 more pounds and I will be in onderland. If I can lose 3 last week with no exercise then maybe I can lose 4 this week with exercise..Hmm..

HAPPY EXERCISING TO YOU ALL!!!

[DeLarla 22]

I met the challenge this morning. Took doggies to the park when it was still dark out, and it was still dark when I got home. Then did a few arms on my machine. Then I ate at large piece of chocolate pie and put myself in the red again. Oops.

[nightingale2u 42]

Well... I guess gaining weight did something for my exercise motivation... I had a huge bowl of icecream this afternoon and was feeling pretty darn guilty and downright ashamed of myself...

So... I FORCED myself on the treadmill. I just kept walking until I didn't feel terrible anymore... for a grand total of 4 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes... and burned 520 cals. Now... the icecream goes in the garbage and I will knock my husband in the head if he partners up with me to buy naughty stuff! My muscles are crying out for mercy and I think I had a small cardiac infarction... but at least I don't feel guilty anymore. :dead

Darcy, an hour plus is an awesome walk. But next time, don't kill yourself over a bowl of ice cream, just share it with the dog. But I know how you feel because Friday somebody left a chocolate pie here. I was so proud all day Friday for not eating a piece, but the evil pie was still here today, untouched, and a hunk fell down my throat. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you Bad Boys?
