January fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

Did my 80 minutes today -- yippee! My goal is to get this workout in four times a week plus to add in two walks at the lake with a friend (3.5 miles). Problem is it is below zero here and I just can't hack it out there. Thank god for treadmill, recumbent bike and Bowflex in basement. And a lot of new insulation down there. But I'm getting into the head-space, which is vital. And something of a miracle, I must say. Happy Saturday night every one!

2.3 miles in the books today. That puts me at 15.35 for the month. I am going to try and get a 2 mile hike in tomorrow morning before the temps drop and the rain moves in.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Walked 14 minutes today. The woods were awesome. Lower back and rt hip started hurting so I didnt go longer. Just glad I made my "at least 10 minutes" goal ! School starts again Monday. This will be a whole new ball game.

I'm from LA about 50 miles from Baton Rouge looking for a date for my date in late jan. I'd love to connect

Whatcha mean a date for your date? And are you near Lafayette?
I'm near Covington tried to say a date for my Rny.

I got exercise in today but it wasn't part of what I listed for my January challenge. I shoveled snow for about an hour and a half. I know if I had tried to do this prior to sleeve surgery, I'd probably be having a heart attack. Now hope that winds don't blow the snow back where I shoveled.

It is cold out there also. Hope this revved the metablolism up a little. Working out inside tomorrow. Predicted hiigh for tomorrow is 0.

Well... I didn't do Zumba today but I cleaned my teenagers room for 3 hours and had a good cry. Does that count?

Ok, enough of this bullshitting myself already!

It stops NOW! I am almost 9 months out and only managed to lose 107 or so pounds. I still have 60 to go!!

And why? Exercise and the LACK thereof. But this is stopping RIGHT now.

So here are my goals for January:

* gym 4 times a week (20 min treadmill, 20 min elliptical/rower, 20 min weights)

* Saturday and Sunday: stationary bike for 30 mins

* work on mindful meditation

See you all on the other side!

1. Walk or bike 55 miles

2.

3. Plank and crunch at least 3 times a week

Theses are Gamergirl's goals and since I haven't met a goal I've set yet, I thought maybe I'd borrow her's. I hope you don't mind GG. It's 1/6/2014. I'm 5 months out today and 7 lbs from my goal weight. Time to make exercise a commitment.

Yesterday, I walked for an hour in 10 degree weather in beautiful Golden Colorado, down by frozen Clear Creek. Truly invigorating!

      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.
