Aug/Sept Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Walked one hour again today. I really needed it today. We had people over to watch football yesterday and I ate way too much. That's the first time I've done that since surgery. Anyway, I'm getting right back on track (and waiting very anxiously for my first fill Sept. 28). Today I completed the challenge to do 21 days of mindful exercise. Woo Hoo! Since there are 13 more days in September I'm going to set another goal of 8 more days of mindful exercise this month.

Thanks Chinokitty. Congrats are in order for you too. I saw your post about being down a size. Way to go!

Today instead of walking I worked in the yard for 1.5 hours. It was harder than walking!

I haven't been very good at posting, but I have been exercising and I guess that is the important part.

I walk at least 1/2 hour though last night it was a little longer because football was on and I finished watching the game.

I just stretch my calves under the table anytime I am at a meeting or anytime I must sit for a while.

I went back to work, where I walk all day. I can't wait to get a pedimeter and measure how far I really walk.

Good job! Every bit COUNTS! :clap2:

I just stretch my calves under the table anytime I am at a meeting.

That's exactly what this challenge is all about-- get us thinking about exercise every day. Those stretches add up! Keep up the great work! :cheer2:

I finally had to take a day off from walking, but I think I may have gotten in more exercise than normal. I chaperoned a school dance and probably walked around the perimeter of the commons about 100 times. However it wasn't "mindful exercise" so I didn't count it!

<p>I've been having internet access problems (boo Time Warner) so haven't been able to post for a few days.</p> <p>I walked for 35 minutes on 9/23 and 48 minutes on 9/24 and more yard work everyday!</p> <p> </p> <p>Chinokitty, I'd post a picture of the yard if I could figure out how. It does look pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Of course, it should with all the time I've spent working on it lately! It is getting easier (thank goodness) as I am losing weight and building stamina and strength.</p>

Walk, walk, walk. I will be so glad when we get our DVD player hooked up in the room that my treadmill is in. I am getting really tired of looking at the same spot in the room. The music just isn't keeping my eyes off of that dang clock that ticks away so slowly!

I'm BAAAACK!!!

Didja miss me?

I finally clocked my distance and time today -- 1.1 miles at 27 minutes. Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but considering I couldn't/WOULDN'T attempt to make it to the mailbox a few months ago, I'LL TAKE IT!!!!

Anyway -- I made the 21/21....just barely squeaking in!

      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.
