OK Slackasses! Who's working out today?

After two weeks of relative inactivity, I hauled my doughy ass back into the gym today.

I was able to crank out my hour on the elliptical no problem, but I gotta tell you, it was a struggle for me to get through my weightlifting routine over lunch. I predict some soreness tomorrow in the AM.

This will also be my first day of doing push-ups and sit-ups in the evening.

I should have no problems with the push-ups, and I'm excited to use the "Perfect Push-Up" Mary got me for Christmas.

I'm not sure about the sit-ups though. I've never done them post-surgery. I always had my big gross Jabba-sized hernia which I didn't want to aggravate, but now that it has been fixed and healed, I guess I can start.

I'm looking into a yoga class here at work. It's Tues/Thurs over my lunch period. I'm waiting to hear how much it costs before committing.

So who else is getting their buff on today?

Trust me, I wouldn't call it 'getting buff'' by anyone's stretch of imagination, but I am getting back on my bike tonight - dusted the sucker off Saturday and rode, and am hitting it again tonight along with my hand weights.

Norm you are da man.

Did my sweatin 4 today, will do my walk later.

Food wasn't as well as I planned.

well I haven't actually worked out yet.. I'm in the pre-op do whatever I want stage.  BUT, I did go to Gold's yesterday and got some information.  I am going to go gym hopping over the next week or two to find out which one will be best for me so I can start going as soon as possible.  Any suggestions... I'm in Bethlehem and don't want to travel too far.

Alright - so we all know that my exercise equiptment severly misses me. Today I decided to get back into the game - albeit slowly. I did a lot this weekend and am a bit sore so I started with the yoga moves that I should be doing every day to get my core in shape to help my back - I will continue to do them every night this week and then will move slowly back into what I can - the treadmill and the bike for now - then maybe Chris will teach me to use the total gym. I know I need to do strength training - my muscles are like Pop Eye without spinach - seriously droopy. It is a start though none the less!!

I went to the gym yesterday and worked out hard.  Got in bed last night and almost cried because my muscles were screaming!  Thought I would take today off the rest my weary body.  Woke up today and felt great.  After school I went to the gym.  Ran 2.5 and then did the ARC trainer for 30.

I am not able to go to the gym yet. I am hoping maybe tomomorrow when I see the Dr. he will clear me. Speaking of asses, mine looks huge now that I have a waist line.

I've done pretty good sticking with the workouts over the holidays but some days are certainly tougher than others. Today was "legs" day and I did pull-ups and dips which are killer. I logged 47 miles on my bike last week. Shooting for 50 this week.

Keep up the good work everyone.

I have never missed a workout since my surgery. I get my protein and water in and do treat myself to one small indulgence every once in a while. My surgiversary is coming up on January 29th and my goal is to lose the last 10 pounds by then. I am proud that I have literally worked my A$$ off in taking this weight off and have vowed that I will never get back into the old habits  again. As long as there people and many others that inspire me every single day I will keep on trukin'. Thanks for this post I personally really needed it.
