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.

      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.
