Exercise Obsession



Recommended Posts

wow, I wish i loved exercise! I have a hard time getting on my wii fit, let alone going to the gym. I would honestly just rather be watching tv, or reading a book. I guess that why ive only lost 15 pounds this year. Give me some of your obsession, i sure can use it!

I think the only reason I've been okay with going to the gym so much is because all of the machines have their own tv sets attached. I can climb on the treadmill and get my "Dancing with the Stars" fix and before I know it, an hour has gone by. If they didn't have the tv (or a book stand) I'd probably be in trouble.

The obsession really starts after you do it for a week or two straight. I feel so good afterwards that it just makes me want to do it more and more! I crave that feeling!!! I hated it when I started, I had to drag myself but once I got going again I love it again :)

Yes it definitely started a couple weeks after doing it 2-4 times a week. I usually do about an hour 2-4 days a week depending on my schedule. I'm definitely not ready to workout in the mornings. I sleep in as much as I can.

It's great. I can now do 30 pushups (girl style of course) but that's something I wasn't able to do at the start of this. It's nice to be able to stretch and be somewhat limber. My arms are starting to get a nice shape to them too. It's really exciting to see the results.

      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.
