Exercise..Exercise...Post Op
posted on 8/21/12 9:33 am

Today is another day to get moving.

I want to admit that I like I would think most other people have their highs and lows in the area of exercise.

For me, I have accepted that it is an evil necessary.

I have to get moving. I have to get moving for my life and for my kids, who are my number one priority.

With the everyday changes of life such as the kids are now on the football fields three days a week and school has started versus a couple weeks ago where we didn’t have any activities……….my exercise routine changes as my life/ schedule changes.

I also get bored and I change up my routine.

I have done Turbo fire and it is great.

I have done Zumba class and it was okay.

I love hard core cadio and lifting weights.

And, of course, walking…..walking….walking can be done any and everywhere.

So, in all, I have accepted that I must do it and I try to do it as often as possible at least three days a week.

Early in my process the more I got moving the more weight I loss.

Now, I can see the more I get moving the better I look in my clothes. Some days I feel “fluffy” and when I do, I know I need to change something and I move.

Have a great day!!!

I truly believe that regular exercise is the key to long term weight maintenance. I've been faithfully doing it now for 4 years, and miss it if I miss a couple days. Have you tried jogging? I love to jog with my iPod...I build great playlists and just get lost in the music.

Morning!

Morning!

When all else fails, I walk. I get bored sometimes so I change up my routine.

I am now walking.

I will be taking a pole dancing class starting in Septemeber.

Varie ty is the spice of life and like to keep it spicy.

Have a great day!

I purchased a product called fitbit. Small device you keep in your pocket or on waistband. It tracks,steps, stairs, calories, etc. You can join an online community and compare etc. It's a little motivation to beat your previous day's activity and so on.
Just a thought:).

I have completely fallen in love with exercise. It totally lifts my mood & I can see how much its changed my body. I really feel like it will be a lifelong habit. I just needed to get the weight off to enjoy it. I love all the cute gear, sneakers, and gadgets that go along with it too (I also have a fitbit & fitbit scale). When I was concerned about the number of calories I was able to eat at 10 months post op, my doc said I shouldn't worry too much because I exercise a lot. I walk, jog, elliptical, bike, and do home aerobics and strength training- an hour or more, 5-6 days a week. I have 4 kids, so I do it at 6am usually.

Sorry for the rant, I just really love this topic, and can't believe how much it's changed my life & made me a happier person....Liz SW-270, GW-160, CW-149 (11 months post op)
