amandagracewing Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi Miguel, Great job! 10 minutes without your cane! Very awesome! Have you tried incorporating the program I sent you? Can't wait to hear how that goes! When your legs are sore you can always do a workout just using your arms if you feel up to it! You can even use soup cans and do it right at home! I found this article for you, if you have any questions about how to do the exercises, please let me know! http://www.livestrong.com/article/327806-soup-can-exercises/ BRAVOAmanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda i have been doing the program you send me i am just lazy writing all down that i just wrote it this way. I just added five more mins to it i wanted to push myself. Thanks about the can workout i will give it a try. I also just found some bands that i bought a while ago that i forgot that i had so i think i will start using them as well.

Migueljr Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 So this is my first post in a while and am coming back to this strong again. February was not a great month for me. Just having a lot of issues and now that its March i want to put it all behind me and move forward again. So i end up gaining everything back because all the crap that happen so I am starting all over, but now i know that i can do it over again because i have support here. So my starting weight now is 355lbs. What my goal is to get as strong as i can to at least walk at 5K in April. So to start my workouts again i walked for 20 mins and did some stretching. Over the weeks i will start to add more things but since i have not worked out and gain a lot of weight back so soon i don't want to rush my body so fast.

Migueljr Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 So today was a very busy day at work and did a lot of walking and standing. Even being tried i still got in my 20 minutes of walking and stretching after. The thing that i am still proud is that even though i gain weight i have still kept my strength about trying to use my cane less. i went about 10 minutes without it in my walk. i am hoping that before summer i can kiss that cane goodbye and walk normal again.

Migueljr Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 OK so today work was busier then yesterday so even as i am writing this down i am in a little bit of pain. Even though i didn't want to do my walking for the day i sucked it up and did it any way. Did 20 minutes of walking and then did my stretching. Something big that happen today is that i tried to run and did for about 5 seconds. This is a lot since i have not tried to run since last month and with the weight i gained i thought i would not be able to. i am hoping that soon i can go up to about a minute.

Migueljr Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Today was my day off work so my walking was not as hard to do and because of that i did a bit more walking. Did 30 minutes of walking and then my stretching. Tomorrow i am going to do some jumping jacks and since i have resistance bands will try some work out with them since it looks like it will rain.

Migueljr Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 So i forgot to post my workout yesterday so here it is. i walked for about 15 minutes of walking and then my stretching. The reason why i did so little time is because i did it all with out the use of my cane. I left my cane at home so that it would be a true to myself when i did the walk. at the end i was so tried and my back was hurting. As for today i did my 20 minute walk and then my stretching. I had to go into work for a little bit and that had to do walking there as well so i was moving around for about and hour an half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migueljr Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Today I did my 20 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of walking with out my cane. After i did my stretching. Didn't lose my breath as much today as i would before. I also weighted myself today. Before i got on the scale i was really scared because every time i been getting one it i just see it go up and didn't want to see that again. so when i got on it i saw it didn't go up but down. In the last week i lost 10 pounds to be down to 345lbs. This is a big for me because it shows me that i am back on the right track. I know that for the most part the weight i lost is water weight but for me it show that i can lose and not gain. I know that i am not going to lose this much every week and that i should be happy with what i do lose. Here is to another great week. and that i don't fall off the wagon for my 5K with out a cane.
