November fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

Will you be released for FULL ON exercise...lifting, etc. nothing held back? Or is it granted in "stages"...just curious!

It's full release but to "ease back into things."

I'm already anticipating having the cardiovascular function of day old bread.

LOL, nah, you will be good. It's not like you sat still this entire time...you might feel a bit rusty but a day or two of that and you will start feeling like the old Bean. :D

It's been going slow but I am up to 37 miles so far!!

I can't believe how much I'm getting into the plank challenge! 13 days ago when I started, I could barely hold it for 20-25 seconds. Today I managed 90 seconds!!!! The continual & rapid improvement I can see over just a couple of days is very motivating to me. The other day I saw a 16 year old girl I know & I mentioned planking to her. She immediately challenged me to a plank-off....and I beat her!! I ain't even gonna pretend to feel bad about it, either! B)

gamegirl,

I specifically remember you saying if you were in pain, you were going to take it easy. If you don't make 60, it's not the end of the world. You're not going to turn into a pumpking or something horrible. I'd rather you do what you can and not hurt yourself. If you hurt yourself, you'll be out even longer.

Exercise hard when you are up to it. Listen to your body. There are many tomorrows. If you go the full 60, you have 38.25 miles to complete with 17 days left as of the 14th. You will need to average 2 1/4 miles a day. I did the math for you this time. I think you have done enough math for others in your other post. :-)

Hah! Thank you. You made me smile, and feel cared for this morning. I feel hugged! You're right, I did say that didn't i? Hoist by my own petard! Who knew someone would actually read my posts? :D

This has always been my problem in the past. I overdo if, then I hurt so I can't do anything at all, and then when I can...you guessed it, I over do it. Maybe I should try something different this time....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
