July Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

What a great way to stay on track! My goal is 4x a week for at least 30min for a total of 480 minutes. Normally I walk 2.5 miles or I do Water arobics but they normally take 1 hour but I am not always able to do them everyday. Wishing everyone a great month!

Here's my update:

Wednesday, 7/4, 24 minutes

Thursday, 7/5, 30 minutes

Here's another update: went to the doctor's for my 1 week post op visit and I officially lost another 7 lbs. since 6/28. Not earth shattering, I know, but it felt good going down and not up!

Thanks for ALL your support and I want you all to know I root for you all too.:clap2: I just want to be in onederland someday!

Hi Everyone,

Musicamomma, can I get in on the July challenge too? I could really use the motivation and the accountability. Why you say...Because I am the ultimate procrastinator!!!!

My goal is to excercise AT LEAST 4x per week for 30 minutes = 420 minutes (from July 8 - July 31)

Reporting in for the exercise challenge.

I've exercised for a total of 111 minutes so far.

(Don't ask where the odd minute came from, I don't know. LOL)

Another update

I have also been riding the aerodyne, but it hurts my butt!

Does going in the pool count? Wait, I can't go in the pool yet!:omg:

OK, I FINALLY made it to the gym!! Slow start because of post op pain, but I feel 100% again!! I did 40 minutes tonight on the elliptical. Hopefully tomorrow I can get in a full hour, and some light weight training.

Great job everyone!! Here's the updated chart...

I need to get my rear in gear...I am NOT feeling motivated and haven't felt motivated in several days!!! I NEED to do what I NEED to do, not what I FEEL like doing! Does that make sense? I need to overcome my 'feelings' and just DO IT! It seems like every time I join a "challange", I lose my motivation! Hmmm...failure mentality???? OK...Gonna post this then move my big ole butt!!!! :)

Have a great day everyone!

      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.
