I love the accountability food post but one thing I have learned is that moving is just as important as getting the food under control. So what are we doing these days? I go to the gym every day at 6 o'clock. I go with my son who meets his wrestling buddies there. It is great incentive to me because I hate letting him down and I am his only way to get there. I can't tell him to get fit and healthy and then not help him. So since my new job is 9-5 I don't have the energy to get there after a long day, and then do dinner, etc. So I figure get it over with in the morning. So it's every single day and then once on the weekend. I do the elliptical/cross trainer every single day for 45 minutes. On alternate days I do the weight circuit. On the weekend I do the cardio and then I take a 60 minute weight lifting class. So I am there on the average of around 1 1/4 - 2 hours a day, give or take. So what is everyone doing these days????

Ahhh I skipped Karate today! YOu caught me! Actually I went to pick up some donated clothes after work and I got stuck in traffic so I ended up getting home with only 15 mins left of karate. Figured it was pointless. I'll make Thursday's class though. Been thinking about picking up mountain biking.

Shari: Hey :).. Why did you scale back? First is scaling back related to the threshold.. or the accountability part? :-?

Sustainability. Let me explain: I'm living on 850 calories a day in what's still a pretty big body. When I exercise full out, I get very very dizzy due to low blood volume. Over time, I will be eating more, so it won't be as hard on me. Also, as I hit plateaus later, adding exercise will help me get through that. But the bigger deal is sustainability. I was exercising 7 days a week pre-op. I realized that I would probably do that a while and eventually burn out. So instead, what I do now is walk a lot, stay more generally active, do strength training twice a week and swim on Sundays. That'll naturally increase with better weather, me being smaller, and getting more calories in so I have the energy to spend. I find that most people start gung-ho, then peter out. I am hoping to do it backwards. :)

Monday through Friday (and sometimes Saturday) I do an hour on the treadmill in incline intervals... then usually another 20 minutes on the lifecycle. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I do that w/ an hour of weight training. usual stuff at home.. nothing much to speak of but I'll be starting my gardens this weekend and that's usually a good workout.

I ride my stationary bike anywhere from 2.5-7.5 miles an average of 5-7 days a week. How far I go depends on how fast I go, what time of day and how much energy I have that day. I need to get more consistent but I just started steady exercise about 7 weeks ago and honestly, I am still getting used to dedicating time and effort to it. I know I'm slow but at least I am doing it.

6:00 a.m. = 15 minutes asansas + 50 ball crunches + 15 push ups After work: DAY ONE of water aerobics!!!! 80 minutes total moving hard in the water. I got there early and jumped in to do ten minutes of warm ups - water jogging. Class was one hour, then i did an extra 15 minutes of water flailing. You guys might call is swimming laps, but i think I must look like I am drowning! I never officially learned to swim, so i am not begging for compliments here! My lap is: ~25 forward flails, then the come back is ~35 backstroke-like flailing pattern. I need a whole lane to myself I am slappin the water. I did 4 full laps in 15 minutes, no stopping, not fast, but wow was I tired. No resting except once i had to catch my breath! but i still kicked out my feet while catching up. The plan is to do Water aerobics M & Wed. 80 minutes + asanas in morning before work Tu, Thu is wogging and floor work, heavy on yoga moves. Friday wogging. Saturday: yardwork or rest Sunday big bike ride or something longer and harder
