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!

      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.
