February 2009 Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

I did the swim thing for 1 hour 15 min. I'm not sure how far I went. Did one 500, a 6 x 100 and a 400 and some other stuff. I lost track. We did a lot of drills and I learned how to do my hands properly and that helped me swivel my hips.

No treadmill today, my lower back has been letting me know that 2-3 wks straight of running is not what it wants.:biggrin: So, did 45 minutes on elliptical, pausing every 10 minutes to pump out 25 pushups. Btwn that and some before and after, I'm to 225 pushups already today.

Tonight will be upper body and a little more cardio.

Nothing this weekend as it is my 2nd "guys" weekend. Gotta take some time off:tt2:

Stationary bike. 45 min.

I've started adding in hill work. It's weird because the hills are so hard but overall I go more miles and my average heart rate is lower and my calories burned is lower. So, in some ways, it appears to not be as good a workout. But my METS where the same.

Hey Warriors,

Haven't posted in a while - January was NOT a good month for my workouts...

Back on track now, though - been walking every day at work now that the sidewalks are much clearer. Still haven't been in the gym, work has been a bit crazy and I don't have any energy when I leave.

Will be going to the gym this weekend to hopefully re-jump start my habit. DH does maintenance at a gym and they were tossing rowing machines, so he brought one home. Already downloaded a workout for it to my IPhone, so I'll be breaking that in this weekend.

Ya'll put this sometimey-jock-wanna-be to shame!:ohmy:

Yesterday: Unexpected road trip out of town, so no exercise.

Today: 4 miles, 1% incline, for 60 minutes. I was able to go 1 extra mile, by decreasing the incline. My goal now is to do 5 miles in 60 minutes by March 15.:frown:

Georgia Girl sorry to hear you were sick.

Lulu, let me know how golfing is with the Wii.

I did a brick!

We biked for about 8 miles (an up and back), then practiced our transitions (mine was about 30 seconds as I just took off my bike helmet and gloves and put on my running hat) and then ran.

My legs were like jelly though. Yikes.

      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.
