November fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

Can I ask what brand?

Although the rate this is going' date=' I'll be bald from Hair loss pretty soon and won't have to worry about it anyway. Sigh.[/quote']

Biolage is the one Im using now. It's the Step 3 impurity remover. I also will use one called Bumble and Bumble, and also liked Paul Mitchell's Step 3 Impurity remover. I find my hair is more responsive to shampoos if I switch them up, so I pretty much rotate between the 3.

I'm going to go with 150 miles on the bike, AND logging in frequently enough to actually participate in the thread.

I think I would like to start running this month as well, if I can get the courage up to actually get outside and do it. Kinda silly, I guess, to be scared of running but I am!

Check into the C25K app if you want to start running. It's a great program for a beginner.

I actually just finished downloading that app! It looks totally doable to me, I might actually give this a shot. :)

I got in 3.2 miles of bike riding today. I thought good for 9 days post-op. I really wanted to get in one more ride. My ride today will probably be my last ride of 2013. After surgery tomorrow I am restricted from riding for 6 weeks, and unsure how the weather will be after 12/16 release date. Any rides after that date will be restricted to weekends and holidays since it is dark by the time I get home from work.

I start my walking program later this week. Depends on how I feel after tomorrow's surgery.

Hi I'm in but only for the next 17 days... My surgery is on November 21!!! I plan on getting my miles in by heading to the gym and walking on the treadmill for 30-45 min a day. And then look out cause I can't wait until I get cleared to head back to the gym after my surgery! Good luck everyone on the November challenge!

Today was another spend day with kids day. Went to church, played littlest pet shops and made bracelets. Only 2 miles total of 10.21. Getting a bit anxious about surgery on Tuesday spending time with my girls feels right!

Gamegirl,

Haven't you heard of the surgery of the month club? Lol. I had this one originally scheduled in September and it had to be cancelled. I had to get my sleeve surgery and another doctor's visit taken care of before this one could happen. Last week my social calendar revolved around seeing doctors. After tomorrow, I don't have a scheduled doctor appointment until November 19th.

Thanks,

Rita

5.5 miles today for a total of 12.5 miles. That was done on the exercise bike. I didn't make it out for my walk today. I was having tummy issues and took a nap after work. But that bike is sitting right here calling to me to get up off my back side! The bike won! Ha! Sent from my iPhone using VST

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
