November fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

Disappointed I can't make it the gym this morning. I had to take my SIL to the ER last night (she is fine). I didn't get to bed until 2am. I thought maybe I would be ok, but after getting my son ready for the bus...I need a few more hours of sleep before work lol If I don't get them...My patients may not want to be around me today lol

Ok, gn zZzZz

I haven't been exercising as much as before my cruise. My November goal is to exercise daily for at least 45 minutes. So far so good! :-).

I haven't checked it but I'm off to a slow start. Since Nov. 1, I only got in 6 miles. But, I have completed week 1 Day 2 of C25K and I LOVE it! It feels so great to start this challenge. I feel wonderful after my workouts. Even though I'm going to try to get in 125 miles again as I did in October, my main focus for this month is to stick to the C25K as I have never been able to run in the past.

4 miles yesterday' date=' total of 11.21. Today is surgery day, so for the rest of the month I need to get 9 miles... Strange to think I will slow down so much... Wish me luck, I'll check in later. Surgery is not until 3 mst, so it will be late or tomorrow...=)[/quote']

Oh wow.....that snuck up fast. Good luck. Happy healing.

Love love love C25K.

If that program can turn me....a middle aged man with 2 bad knees and a bad back.....into a runner, it can work for anyone. When I started I could barely make the 30 second runs. Within 7 months I was doing my first half marathon.

Stick with it. It's a great payoff and the ability to run is like gaining a super power. It's liberating.

I'm late joining but need some accountability. My goals are puny compared to some but as a non exerciser seem challenging to me.

Goal is to complete the daily resistance exercises the dr gave me to do ( including the wall push ups) also adding in sit-ups. 30 by end of month. Not much But a start.

Hey I started with 40 miles last month. It's 40 more than I did the momh before! It all counts. No need for any of us to apologize.

Jumping late also:

Goals for the month:

1. Miles: 175 total

2. Re-signed up for my weight class and honestly I don't have any goals because the trainer kicks our butt...so I guess my goal is to keep up and have perfect attendance. I got the perfect attendance (given to ME by MYSELF :lol: ) award last month because out of 6 ladies I was the only one who showed up 2x a week for 6 weeks! B)

3. This is my "off" week from weight class, so my goal is to do a weight-bearing workout at least 2x this week by myself...no trainer to push me so hopefully I will keep that strength going.

Trying to be mindful of the fact that Thanksgiving means travel to visit family, so my big goal for that is to NOT be a slacker the week of Thanksgiving!

I was just about to unleash the blood hounds looking for you. Thanks for sparing me that. No doubt Georgia would have sniffed you out in no time.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
