June Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

upper body workout last night. 60 minutes on elliptical this morning.

Really tired this week as I can't seem to get to sleep at night, but still forcing myself to get up and hit the gym. I'm actually kind of hoping softball gets cancelled tonight so I can try to get to bed early. If not, then I won't see the bed until about 10:30 at the earliest.

hi all -

after talking w/my surgeon and my trainer, i'm taking my goal weight down by 8lbs to 117. I'm pretty short, 5' & can still see where my lower body would need to slim down some. As I crept to my original 125lb goal, I figured I would re-asses & so a new challenge is on & i'm going to step up the training for the summer.

in addition to tsd/thurs - my trainer "trains" some members of the Baylor Football Team on Wed/Fri (early 5am) - i'm going to hit up Wed morning conditioning just to see how fit i really am..LOL.

i'd like to be 120lb by the first of Aug - when i visit my parents who i havent' seen since i had the surgey...for me exercise is the only way i can get close to the scale goals set......

Sooooo.. today -

2mile run

50min training session - windsprints / ladder drills / squats / lunges , abs , shoulder - tri - bi

plan on getting some swimming in later on...

have a good one~

Gotta play catch up from the weekend.

Friday morning was both lower body and cardio of 65 minutes on elliptical and 25 minutes (2.1 miles ran in 20 minutes) on treadmill.

Saturday morning was 65 minutes on elliptical and 25 minutes (2.15 mile run in 20minutes).

Sunday went at it HARD. Set the treadmill for 60 minutes. Decided to run until I could not run anymore. Hit the 5 mile mark @ 50:25. Got in a total of 6.26 miles in 65 minutes (incl. cool down). Then hit the elliptical for 25 minutes.

I've never run that far at one time. Heck, until the 5k's this summer, I've never run half that distance at one time. I couldn't believe I was able to do that.:biggrin:

This morning was 65 minutes on elliptical and 15 minutes (1.05 miles in 10 minutes) on treadmill. Tonight is upper body again.

      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.
