October Exercise Challenge

[TexasFire 84]

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!

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

Add Activity - miscellaneous - touring/traveling/vacation involving walking and riding

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!

And I just ate 3/4 of a small Butterfinger Blast from Sonic! :omg:

I wish their "small" wasn't so BIG, though! LOL

Lol. Thanks Stef. 1001 cals for your weight? wow... then I burned ALOT! haha. Myscales say 330 this morning. I gotta quit weighting myself daily. Its an obsession. I want to be under 300 so badly! Can't wait to weigh in at the docs office on FRIDAY!!

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!!!!!!!!!!

mrsking - awesome job, way to go. I did 40 minutes worth of leg work today. I feel great. The soreness is paying off. I am well on my way to goal.
