Hey Ladies!

I like this challenge - my goal is to get in my gym workouts 4 days per week.

I get 30 minutes every day without fail because my family goes to walk the dog every morning. He's a house dog, so to avoid the messes, we have trained him to go outside the house. My DH, DD and I go every morning to walk him - approx a mile from our house to the high school and back.

I also walk at lunchtime at work - my current route is a little over a mile, and I walk that 5 days per week (weather permitting). That's another 30 minutes, and I'm trying to get my time down.

My challenge to myself is to keep up my 4-day a week gym habit - I work upper body and lower body on each day, and rotate the bodyparts so I don't work the same muscles two days in a row. I'm holding steady with my weight (I still eat too much and I'm a diabetic) and I haven't yet been banded.

Nice to see so many of us working on gaining an exercise habit!:wink2:

So far I am going strong! I guess yesterday was not really a planned workout but I went to the bank at lunch time and I took the bus but it was at least a 15 minute walk from the bus stop. That coupled with some other walking downstairs, etc and other things like cleaning up last night I am sure I got me my (yeah I said it) 30 mins. :rolleyes2:

This weekend is my big gym comeback I have NOTHING PLANNED!!!:cool2:

Ok that's a lie I have a dinner birthday thing around 6pm but all day Saturday is mine and same for Sunday so my botty belongs to the gym!!!! :thumbdown::thumbup:

Here is my plan for

Saturday

Step-9:30

Body Vive-10:30 (maybe)

Sunday

Body Pump-9:30

Body Flow-10:30

My pants are so tight it isn't funny!!! :) I refuse to buy bigger clothing again not with a closet full of stuff!!!:smile: I am starting to feel pain in my foot again and I don't like that one bit. I didn't have the best Breakfast but I have a WW meal for lunch and some fruits for Snacks.:thumbup:

How is everyone doing so far???!!

:biggrin:Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I made it to the gym :tt1: I did 45 minutes of Step aerobics and then I skipped abs and went on the eliptical for 10 minutes the I stayed for Body Combat:lol::tt2::lol: I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :tt1::tt1::tt1: Body Combat!

So I got in 2 hours of cardio:thumbup::mellow::thumbup:

I am such a black or white, on or off, yes or no person so I am either a gym rat or not so I have to just jump back in feet first and get my stride back. I've been trying to ease back into working out but I see that just doesn't work for me. :cool2: A/w I feel good although I got a good look at myself in the mirror boy I can see the weight I gained back big time :thumbdown:but that's ok onward, upward.

Tomorrow- Body Pump & Body Flow

Thanks so much for joining me you all have inspired me so much!!!:tongue_smilie:

LastOption - I'm still here with you!

Friday - usual walk in the am with DD and DDog - just about 1 mile. Every day, this is the minimum that I do. Lunchtime at work, I walk another 1 - 1.25 miles depending on the weather.

Saturday - hauled wood with DH for our new fireplace. He got some salvaged wood from work, brought it home in his truck, and we hauled it around the yard and cut it up (gotta love a chop saw). It was heavy - 6 x 6 pieces about 15 feet long, some 4 x 10 pieces 15 feet long. It was all hardwood, so it was HEAVY! All that bending and lifting had my legs a little sore.

Sunday - more wood hauling, plus I got to use the AX! Swinging one of those babies over your head and splitting big chunks of wood is great exercise. I got "Brute Squad" points once I found my groove and started splitting like a pro. Then we hauled wood inside the house (trips up and down the stairs)...I was so tired Sunday night I fell asleep on the couch in DH's arms.:wub:

Walked the dog this morning - faster than normal, because it was so COLD outside! Will walk at lunch, but no gym tonight - DD's job is having an open house for family and parents and we have to attend.

Will check in with more this week...:biggrin:

Count me in, I need to get motivated about exercising. I have not been working out since I was banded on October 1st. I just finished 30 minutes on the stationary bike and I feel great. Looking forward to this exercise challenge.

      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.
