A-MAY-zing Bandits Monthly Exercise/Water Challenge



Recommended Posts

Thanks to MetalBand for getting us going in July! Now here we are, a few days into August and I thought I would start a new thread for our monthly Exercise & Water Challenge. I figure we can just keep adding to this thread for each month.

For each month set your own goal, with a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise at least 20 days of the month. Also, don't forget to get in at least 64 oz. of water each and every day!

I've already got three days of exercise and water under my belt. For me, it's been easier to get in the exercise than it has been to get in the water! Never thought that would be the case!

I know there won't be tons of posts here, but it's great to see folks exercise tickers changing on the other threads!

Good luck to all of us!

Margaret

I'm sorry I neglected to post in last month's thread. I did meet the challenge for July though! :-) And I intend to do even more this month by adding some time in the sauna 5-6 days a week. At my gym it's an extra charge by the month (fancy infrared sauna) so I'm going to make sure I get my money's worth!

It looks like everyone did great in July!! Woohoooooo!

Hello all!

It seems as though I've been on plateau for quite some time now. After reading all the posts and coming to terms that I've only lost 14.5 lbs. in 3 months has really challenged me to get moving again. I'm joining the August exercise challenge in hopes of kicking my weight loss into high gear. My goal is to lose 2 lbs. per week. I truly belive that most of my problems stem from not eating much. I can honestly say that I'm lucky to eat 900 calories daily. So compile that with lack of exercise and what do you we have. A body in starvation in mode! SO, I'm planning my meals out and taking my Protein shakes, working out 30 minutes a day and drinking my recommended 64 oz. of Water. Wish me luck because if this plan does not work, not sure how I'll feel.

You all bring me such great inspiration and glad to be a part of this group.

Weighting...

Glad you joined us. I have been stuck on a plateau for quite a while now and just can't seem to jump start it. I have plenty of restriction in the morning and at lunchtime, but dinner is better and then, oh those dreaded hours after dinner. I seem to always be hungry. Have been walking and gardening when the weather is cool enough, but when it's hot and I'm stuck inside, food seems to call out to me! LOL. And it's always chocolate or some higher calorie soft food. Need to quickly change that.

Keep us posted on how you are doing with your Water intake and exercise.

Cheers,

Margaret (aka NimbleBean)

      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.
