I've been lazy with the exercise lately.

I need some motivation that will kick my ass in gear.

The past 5 days I haven't done ANY exercise.

Usually I at least walk 2 to 3 miles a day. Blah

go to the Y (or thru work or your local city park) and sign up for lessons of some kind. join a team and DIVE IN.

i hate "exercising," but love to go out and PLAY. find someone to play tennis with or find a court that offers a tennis ball machine (then you can just PLAY without apologizing for being a begginer or for being slow :frown:).

looks like you spend a lot of time on line. maybe you can challenge yourself to spend at LEAST as much time MOVING your whole body as you do wiggling your fingers on the keyboard. Balance is the key to everything.

now log off and go PLAY!! :smile:

join one of the exercise challenge threads.

there are some great people that encourage you when your down & lift you up when needed.

it's also great accountability, if that's something you need.

find something enjoy doing - it then doesn't feel like a chore.

cheers~

Waht do you do when your "being lazy"?

I use do it to. Then I noticed 50% of my lazy time was sitting watching TV. SO, I got a treadmill and put in front of the TV. I watch 1hour of my shows and get 3 miles of walking in.

Go on and be lazy. The weight will fall off all by itself. How's that for sarcasm?

Just give yourself an end date for the laziness. Like I get one more week then I need to get real so I can achieve my goal.

the challenges confuse me or i probably would. I got some new exercise videos today. Been sick so havent been doing much just a little walking, waiting for the sun poisoning to stop kickin my butt.

Can anyone explain the challenges to me...would appreciate it. Thanks for the motivation.

so froggi - the challenges are the ones you set for yourself.

at the beginning of each month you decide your exercise goal - and everyday or several times a wk check in to rpt what you've done.

go drill down into those threads to see what's posted to get a better perspective.

if diet is also an issue - you'll find it's very easy to make healthier food choices if your active consistenly.

Maybe you should sign up for Water aerobics. It is low impact and you still get some exercise out of it.

      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.
