November Exercise Challenge!



Recommended Posts

boxing.gifCome on, Crazy Ates! Lets get moving! whoo.gif

This months goal is to get three exercise days per week, for a total of 12 days of exercise this month.

For those who made that goal last month and want to step it up a knotch, I challenge you to 20 days of exercise.

This is the kind of exercise that makes you break a sweat, gets your heart pumping, burns calories and tones those tushies!

(Be sure to consult your doctor before starting a new exercise program.)

Please post your name and exercise goals to this thread.

So I know that I need to do more exercise, but this month is going to be really tough, for actual legitimate reasons. We are moving Thanksgiving day (don't have to worry about over eating I guess!) and I had to sell my treadmill because we can't take it to the new place. Then we had to plunk down a chunk of change to move so I can't join swimming this month. So I am going to have to get creative or walk outside (which I really hate). However:

Goal: Exercise a total of 20 times in November.

I am SO freakin' tired of seeing the same number on the scales day after day after day after.....

you get the point!

I'm just gonna walk MAD on days when nothing happens!!! As opposed to just walking otherwise.

I totally flubbed the challenge in October -- too many excuses and none of them worth listing. Just DIDN'T get off my bootois and do it! (That's boo-TWAH for those of you who don't speak "Nana".)

And, I'm going to go to the gym next week if it is the last thing I do!

Hi everybody. Great exercise goals for November. Glad you're back Band Chick. I'm cheering for you and everybody else to make your goals this month. I must admit, I have to talk myself in to my walk alot of the time, but I feel sooooooooooo much better after I've done it. I believe it is helping me with my weight loss, but more than anything it is giving me energy and a mental boost that I need. If I start slacking off, please remind me how good it makes me feel. Anyway, as for my Novemeber goal, I'm going to go for 24 days of exercise this month. It is a stretch since I made my 20 days in October on the very last day of the month, but I think I can do it. Good luck to me and all you other exercising Crazy Ates!

I walked for 35 minutes today. DH went with me for the first time today and he was worn out after 35 minutes. I'm going to try to get out again this evening for another 30 minutes or so.

Now that I don't have my treadmill I am walking home after work everyday. It is only a mile and a half so I am going to jog at least half. I walked, walked, walked all weekend to make up for the days that I missed.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
