Exersice Band Wagon



Recommended Posts

I just took 2 days off of exercise and have made poor eating choices. I shall go back to the gym first thing tomorrow morning. I really believe the exercising helps with the food attitude. I just need the staying power to continue working out!

I am on vacation and have begun using a treadmill for 30 minute periods. It's not my first choice of exercise but it does work up a sweat!

I don't know if we have talked about it in this thread or not, but I just purchased a Wii Fit and I LOVE it. It weighs you, measures your BMI, lets you set goals, plus gives you fun games that let have you building up a sweat and getting your heart pounding in no time. I find I can do 30 minutes on the Wii in no time. Plus, it is a lot of fun to sit back and watch others play, especially the Hula Hoop.

We had very heavy rains last month and assisted to my pool's pH and alkalinity to go up, then algea big time. It's been out of commission as i try to remedy it back to help save $$ right now (DH is in school FT, not working). SO i've replaced my swimming with 30mins treadmill followed by 15mins strength training for arms, abs, thighs, and rump. 5days a week, 6 is a blessing! I walk thru neighborhhod once or twice a week to break it up. I do miss the pool. My back flab is not tightening up as good as it was so hopefully I can get back to it soon. A friend of mine showed me some exercise ball ideas that are really making a diff in my thighs, even my DH is noticing!

Of good note, when I tried my treadmills preset #1 workout, I couldn't do it. Now I can!!!

This week has been sloooow on the exercise front. I try to walk at least a mile a day... but I know that's not enough. I hit the gym each day last weekend (Friday through Sunday, inclusive), and then again on Tuesday night. Since then, nada. Monday was a planned day off. Wednesday and Thursday were not.

Tonight I am going to try and go before dinner with my family, but I am not too hopeful about my timing. So, Saturday and Sunday will be making up for it. =)

Dragged my ass out to the gym at 9pm, and so glad I did. I put in 40 mins of cardio and then came home and did some stretching and strength on the ball.

This morning I dressed in my gym clothes to force me out today and get it done before I do anything else. I haven't left yet, but I started on the ball this morning and plan to hit the gym after Phelps swims this afternoon.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
