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!

      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.
