Little Improvements



Recommended Posts

I've been noticing that it's the little improvements that make a huge difference in how I feel about this whole journey; particularly in regard to exercise. For example today I was on the tread mill for a total of 30 minutes. I walked three, ran 7 and I did that three times.

Well, it started with me running for 30 seconds every minute and a half. But slowly I added more running. For weeks I stayed at walk 2 minutes and run for 1.

The goal is to run a 5K by February, then more later. I'd like to be able to run a solid hour which is hard to imagine!

Mind you a year ago I'd not have run out of the way of car careening toward me. I would have resigned myself to certain death instead of running so this is no small thing.

How about you other exercisers out there. What small improvements have you found in your abilities? Please share them with me...It's so encouraging!

Thats GREAT! keep it up, I am struggling with starting, I get past the first 2 weeks and then stop. Then it is so hard to get started again! Good luck!

I've noticed huge improvements in my endurance for other sports when I cross train, as in, when I run, I do better in spin the next day, or vice versa. I like it!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
