November Exercise Challenge!



Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone!

Just a quick note this morning because I am running late!

Becky you continue to amaze me -- great job!!!!

I met a nice young lady while working out this morning. She was wearing short shorts and a midriff top, and it was obvious that she had a stunning figure. I told her that I hoped to look as good a she does one day and she said "Oh, you will. I have lost 85 lbs."

I couldn't believe it -- the woman did not have an ounce of fat on her body!!! That was inspirational to say the least...........

Have a great day everyone!!!

Becky,

The DVD isn't boring yet because I just began. I imagine day after day it would become boring.. I don't break too much of a sweat but I do get tired. The next day I hurt. I used the Water weights too that come with the dvd. I only paid $13 for the set at Walmart.< /p>

Congrats Dave on making the November challenge ahead of schedule. You are just doing an amazing job.

Jody, I'm going to buy the DVD. It sounds like a good option for rainy days at the very least. I'm glad you mentioned it. I'd thought of it before but quickly forgot.

Sunshine and blue sky today - walked for 1 hour.

Hey Guys! I've missed you! I was on vacation in Disney World for Thanksgiving and did not have access to internet. It sounds like everyone did great! Yeah for us! I worked out 4 of the 6 days I was there. My eating choices weren't the best but I still managed to lose 1 pound. I didn't make my goal but I'm O.K.:straight I didn't gain and I didn't feel stuffed!:biggrin1:

11 of 12 workouts completed this month with 3 days to go!:whoo:

It's good to be home and back on a regular schedule!:ranger:

Talk to you soon!

Okay....I got the pricing for the personal trainer sessions at the gym yesterday. Lets just say I'm gonna have to save that for when I hit a plateau I CAN'T bust out of on my own.

I think (HOPE!) I got enough core info from him during the two free sessions I had to get me started -- and I'll just keep increasing the duration and weights. Then, when I need to vary it some more, maybe I can pay for another month here or there.

Hi Ya'll! Looks like almost everyone has hit their November exercise goal. Good going! I'm still plugging away. Walked just 35 minutes today. I feel guilty if I don't get in at least 40 minutes, but I guess 35 minutes is way better than nothing.

      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.
