December Fitness Challenge



Recommended Posts

Fiddle how's her c25k coming along?

She hasn't started it yet (just asked), but did go to cross fit a couple times last week and plans on getting into that some more. She is ecstatic that it helped her drop an extra 3 lbs. Running, unfortunately, is not her thing yet. Perhaps in the future.

Did the first day of Insanity today, discovered that it is aptly named. Also, the guy couldn't find the starting vdv, where you assess your fitness level etc. so we jumped right in with cardio and I almost blacked out 3 times. I'm going to go look at this planking challenge and if it is something I can do in my room, I'm in!

Sunday I did 4.4 miles. I also did a lot of up and down the ladder while hanging Christmas lights on the house.

Thanks to Butter, I will be doing miles this time. I will attempt 30-40 miles walking/cycling and the plank challenge. I've cycled 2 miles this morning and completed my plank for the day. I added 5 more seconds to my plank over yesterday!!

Whew....did a 9 mile run this morning. Not an easy run. One of those days where every step was painful. But I'm getting ready for aha of marathon this month so I need to get my miles back up. I'm still not where I was before my surgery 2 months ago, hopefully I will be by the end of this month.

I'm going to shoot for 2 miles a day, which would be 62 miles for Dec. I think that is doable for me right now. Wish I could do the plank challenge, I can't wait to get working on my abs, maybe Jan

Hey there.

Thanks, Butter, for facilitating this!

I was sleeved two weeks ago, so I'm getting back into the swing of things with regard to exercise...I'm only cleared for walking right now.

I'm going to do a total of 50 miles this month.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
