May Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

My challenge is getting through a move from one house into a new house w/out gaining. :cool2:

I fell off the wagon the last week of April and now I'm trying to get back on it. Rains came and I just didn't go out of the house, I didn't do anything.

We cleaned up the yard on Saturday, and today I AM GOING TO THE GYM. I am. I am. I am. I am.

Goal for May (a realistic one for right now) is to go to the gym at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. I know that's small, but I just need to keep moving and release stress for May. Once we're settled into the new house, I'll be doing more. (It has a pool, so I'll be swimming!!! I love swimming!)

Ok, alarm went off at 0345 this morning. I immediately reset it for 0515. Just could not get out of bed.:cool2:

Got softball tonight. Tomorrow I'll hit the gym for cardio in the morning and upper body in the afternoon. Friday will be light cardio in the morning and maybe light legs in the pm.. Want fresh legs for my 5k on Saturday.

Had my first being stuck experience ever yesterday at lunch. Had a fill last Thur. and am tighter than ever before and lunch did not agree with me at all. So, no exercise yesterday pm.

This morning, just did an easy 1.6 miles on the treadmill followed by 10 min. cooldown. Legs are feeling GOOD for tomorrow mornings 5k run.

I'll get into the gym this afternoon for the upper body workout I was supposed to do yesterday.

      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.
