November fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!!!! Everyone is doing so good!!! I completed 3 miles today , total 15miles. I wasn't feeling the greatest today so I had to cut my workout short. Tomorrow is my fitness assessment with my trainer and I am a little nervous. Anyone know what it would consist of? I was thinking the mile, situps, pull ups and all those things we did in school.

I walked 2.80 today for a total of 18.30 miles. It was a refreshing fall walk with a little chill in the air. Loved it!

Started the day with a 2.75 mile bike ride before work. Couldn't sleep so went riding around the neighborhood at 4:45am...lol 5.30 miles walking today. Total now stands at 26.15 miles. Needless to say I am a happy camper!

Went to the Dr. today, down 12 pounds since my last appointment 1 month ago, 70 pounds total since Aug 12th preop appointment. I am now at 291 lbs. I go back Dec 9th and my goal is 275 lbs, that will be another 16 miles down. Time to get crackin!

Tabata day!!

20 seconds balls-to-the-wall of sit ups, pushups and jumping lunges over 8 rounds of each exercise. 10 seconds between each set. Let's see, that is 24 sets over 8 minuted of work. It goes by fast.

Sit-ups I do not mind and can do them all day. I got 98 over the 8 sets. Pushups start giving me grief around 60. On my final 2 sets in the pushup round, I think I got 4-5 in 20 seconds. Kind of sad. Anyone know how to break through the wall during a round of 8 sets of pushups? I literally felt on empty in my upper body at set 6. Nada. Same with jumping lunges, but my endurance held out a little longer.

I got 254 reps total which I think is OK... wish I had more stamina for the pushups and jumping lunges.

Also did power cleans and front squats, getting PR max weight on both. Coach today said my technique is much improved. It is good that we are able to do some kind of Olympic lift every day for practice.

OMG, y'all...I planked for 65 whole seconds today!!!! Today was actually a "rest day" on the 30 day plank challenge I'm doing, but I went to the gym for my regular workout. When I was done my trainer offered to time my plank & check my form. The most I had managed before was 45 seconds. My trainer started counting down every second past 50 & yelling "You can do it!"....and I'll be damned if I didn't actually do it! At 1:05, I collapsed on the floor & started laughing & tearing up at the same time. I might not be able to see the difference in myself in the mirror, but I sure as hell can see it in other ways. :D

Was wondering if one of those would have any effect or not.... I thought of getting one

You have to make sure you Are exerting full effort and not just this as primary. But I'm using it while doing other stuff so how can it hurt to burn calories and increase cardio while working at a desk or sitting in a chair watching tv? :)

      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.
