Thanks!!
I actually have the dumb bells, and I alternated between those and can good items to get different weigh options!
I'm changing my diet and finding out, that I don't miss certain foods already!
Thank you so much for the motivation! I went to get the resistance bands and this week has been non-stop chair exercises. I've been super conscience of walking, so I started walking in my back yard for 20 mins each morning and evening!
First of all, congratulations on your decision.
Since you want to start working out and you are overweight, I suggest walking around your neighborhood as a first exercise. It will get your heart going and also you will burn calories.
What you can do also is, you can take 2 bottles and fill them with water (pretend they are dumbbells) and start working some exercises that you find on the internet using those so called dumbbells. It's a great start and you will get your motivation in no time.
Hard to say what the week will bring. Yesterday the air was good, so I rode to the coffee shop...Got two poached eggs and an ice tea. Today rode to the sales yard (flea market) and got a massage. The air is getting worse...Almond harvest and fire smoke. I went to the gym and did 3.1 miles on the treadmill. I went between 3mph to 4.5mph at 1% grade. I did 1/10 of a mile at 7% grade just to mix it up. Tomorrow is fasting in the morning...Then blood test for the doctors. Lipid panel...I want to do good. Have the good HDL and bad HDL in good shape. I'll just do the treadmill for the rest of the week. No rain in sight...So I don't want to ride my bike. Brian PS Next week I turn 61!!
Glad you had a good week. We all need time to one self without having to worry about exercising and training. I will be taking some time in Nov. after all my racing is done. Just some down time. Does not mean i won't be exercising but it will be when I want.
Monday last tri swim training and proud to say for the first time 400 meters in 7:39 fastest time yet for me.
Tue 60 min speed work
Wed master swim and 30 minute strength training
Thursday 70 minutes run with hilly route
Friday walk stretch
Saturday 3.5 hour run
sunday I am doing a long bike ride hamilton to oakville
You got this. You will rock it and remember what counts is crossing the finish line upright and smiling
not long like yours. would love to try it maybe something on a smaller scale the first time out. Like I said the east cost. Halifax P.E.I, Newfoundland. I have heard Newfoundland is very hilly. I have seen many pictures and it just looks so beautiful.
There is a weekend bike ride that my friend and I would love to do but you have to raise 5 thousand dollars and if you don't raise it you have to make up the difference. There is no way I could raise that kind of money and put that kind of money out for a weekend of biking. I would say my longest bike ride is 100k not very much. my trainer would have me ready if i was going to do it. she is great that way.
Cuba sounds like a nice one. Please share the stories and share pictures.

Congrats on your decision to get healthier. There is never a reason to feel self conscious about that. One lesson I've learned is you don't have to train like an Olympian. Just simple walking is very effective and you can do it anywhere.
I've lost 150lbs and I can run, but I'm a little tired and not feeling as well today so I'm about to go to a local park to walk a bit. I just want to get some steps in and I'm always glad I did, even if it seems like no big deal.
Good luck I know you gonna kill it!
Yours in WLS Journey,
