October Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Lol. Stef! But it wasn't like at an 'exercise' pace... ya know.

Oh, and I should confess here too... Lol... my friend bought an 'apple dumpling' which is a huge peeled and cored apple which is then covered with this breading stuff and deep fried. Then its covered in a thick rich sugary cinnamon sauce and toped with a huge scoop of ice cream! I ate about 1/4 of it! Haha. Ooopsie!

Okay, I can respect that. (Both the excercise comment and the apple! Sounds positively DECADENT!)

But I want you to see something. Over on My-Calorie-Counter.com, I entered 5.5 hours for walking like you did today. Adjust up or down for the weight difference between us, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Based on your current weight of 200.2 lb / 90.8 kg , you would burn 1001 calories.

5.5 - Qty in hours (for half/quarter hours, use decimals) recalculate

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A thousand calories is nothing to sneeze at! You burned off way more than you ate in that apple!

I just wanted you to see just how much good you did today!

Oh well I ate a lot of junk this weekend that I should not have. But on the flip side I had a pretty active weekend. Saturday I did a walk for breast cancer (3 miles in 50 minutes). Then Sunday I took the kids to the park and we went on a nature trail. I'm only counting 20 minutes for this since it was a little slower pace, but it was about a mile.

So that brings my total so far this month to 215.

I walked 60 minutes in the Walk from Obesity this Saturday in Pinehurst. Sunday I walked 60 more minutes just around the neighborhood. I can't remember what I had posted up until now but I'll look back and see what my total would be. How often should I post my minutes?

SUZZZIE - You will break that goal before you know it! I get on the scale several times a day. It's amazing how it changes based on the time of day. I've been trying to break 200 for a month and a half now, so yeah....you could say I'm obsessed with the scale! LOL

ALL - Everyone is doing so well! I'm so proud of everyone in this challenge! Just the fact that you are here at all really shows dedication to your new life tool!

I have to confess that my diet has not been going well since Saturday. I just can't seem to get a grip. I lost my job and I am so depressed. I can't seem to shake it!

50 minute chest workout. I am so exhausted today.....so I won't be doing the treadmill tonite. Everyone is doing such an awesome job. Lets keep it up.

MM give yourself a break; don't be so hard on yourself. Think positive thoughts. Pick yourself back up and start again. Things will get better.

Hi all!!

Just reporting in. I am done with 1/3 of my goal for this month. If I can stay at this pace, I will make it to goal!!!!!!!!WhoooooHooooo!!!!! I never thought I would be so excited about excercise. This site is so wonderful You guys inspire me. Today, I was on the elliptical, and was ready to quit. My legs were tired, I was sweating to death and I just flat out didn't want to be there today. At 30 minutes I almost gave up, but I really wanted to put in a good number for today on the ticker site, so I pushed myself to finish the last 20 minutes. I was so proud of myself, this is the longest I have gone on this machine before.

It just proves that you can do anything you tell yourself you can.

Keep up the awesome work guys!!!!!!!!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
