November fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

I walked 2 miles at lunch. This weekend I'll figure out the bike commute - there was a trailer truck on fire on the side of the highway in rush hour last night, further cementing my zeal to never again use my car to get to work.

I upped some of my weights last night at the gym - fueled either by road rage, sugar or increased strength.

OH! And I ran last night!!!!!! Not much, but I really really want to start, and so I did (stressed sugar imbibing at work that day may have helped the run as well as the weights :-)).

I plan on a ride when I get home tonight. Had a crazy busy morning right up to going to work @ 3 pm. I may just take today as a rest day. I'll check in tomorrow with miles:)

I'm in. I'm Carson and I didn't "officially" join for October even though I am trying for the 100 mile mark. I am at 93 miles and some change so far so I should make it, I started out strong but then we got some rainy weather and had some busy days at work and blah blah blah. It doesn't matter. I'm shooting for 125 miles walked/run/elliptical (I'm doing couch to 5K as well, just can't seem to get through the week 1 completely and I alternate that with my elliptical). I also am going to shoot for a resistance work out 3 days a week. Let's GET IT y'all!

Hey a neighbor! I am in Haughton right down the road. I grew up and work in Shreveport. Welcome aboard!

First day of the new month is now in the books. 3.85 miles walked. Knee has been feeling pretty good the last few days. I am hoping to get a ride or 2 in this weekend now that all the rain is gone. Let's have a great month everyone and welcome to all the new faces! Come on in, do what you can but most of all...have fun!

I did 4 double unders in a row which is 4 more then I have ever done :) working towards 100 in a row by end of month.

Today: 2 miles, 195 GHD sits, 182 back extensions and 22 double unders in a 9 min workout. My infantile skill at double unders held my total reps back. Tired and aching after this week...

Still am trying to do a single overhead squat and failing. Will keep working at it. On my 6 month plan to do 1 - lol.

30 min on the elliptical today and almost 2 min plank last night- my penance for the crimes I committed yesterday at the company potluck. Working out with my trainer tomorrow so no gain but no loss expected. Going to a wedding tomorrow and I have house guests this weekend. So not good eating likely to continue. So glad I am upping the exercise this month!

Thanks Butter for the challenge :) Ok time to jump back in. Threw my back out about 6 weeks ago I think and have been rehabbing I have slipped discs that act crazy sometimes worse than others. Pretty intense pain sometimes :( I was riding my mountain bike 4 x week before that... I'm gonna jump back on the bike and work through the pain! My goal for November is light for what I was doing before but chiro says to ease back in so 5 to 8 miles a week walking and biking this month to get things going again.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
