November Exercise Challenge!



Recommended Posts

I got a marathon walk in this morning, all the way to Walgreens to refill a prescription. 4 miles one way, but when I got there I realized I left the prescrip. on the table. 4 miles back home, and then I caved in and got in the truck and went back so.........8 miles done today

I don't think anyone will blame you for getting in your truck and driving. 8 miles is great!

So I won't be able to make the 20 days, but I do want to make 12. We are moving this week, so I should get plenty of exercise running up and down our stairs. So my revised goal is 3 more days of exercise in November.

had a very good walk yesterday, my sister had a tongue wagging (serves her right, she only weighs about 110 lbs.):heh:

Only to weigh that. My DH probably wouldn't allow me out the house.LOL

Dave, I think I would have driven back, too. Great workout though.

What's everyone eating for Thanksgiving? And are we resting that day?

Good morning everyone!

I had to give my body a day's rest to adjust to the new schedule, but I am back and had an absolutely lovely sunrise workout this morning.

Becky, thank you for the comment, but you are the one inspiring me!!!

Dave great job on the 8 mile walk!

Salsa, I am sorry to hear about your mishap, but you are already way ahead of the game and you will be back on track in no time. Best of luck with your upcoming move :)

You guys keep me so motivated. I'm glad we are here to help one another. Dave, you amaze me. Eight miles!! Do your feet hurt? That's what usually signals that I've reached my limit. Maybe as I get lighter, my feet will not give me as much trouble.

40 minute walk today. I can't skip anymore days this month if I'm going to make my goal.

Actually, it was my ankles that took the beating. I did get a shorter walk in Sat and today. Just over 4 miles for each day.

Nana joined a gym! Nana joined a gym!!!

Can you believe it?? I had a 7 AM appt. with a personal trainer this morning and I was so excited I was up at a quarter til 5!

It is a little humbling to find out just how UNFIT and UNFLEXIBLE you are, but it can only get BETTER right??

Wow you guys are doing great. Since I had to revise my November challenge due to my little eating incident (which is sooooooo much better now), I only have one day left. The last two days I had been packing and walking up and down the stairs, so I decided that I would just take a break from packing and just walk/jog up and down the stairs for a half hour. I thought I was going to die by the end, but after I recovered I felt great. Nana I am going to be joining the gym as soon as we finish moving. Though mine doesn't come with a personal trainer. It is like Curves only with real weights. The people seem nice though.

The sun is shining here again, the "Christmas Winds" (as we call them here in the Caribbean) have arrived, and it was a glorious workout this morning!!!

Nana, good luck with your new workout regime. How did your first session with the trainer go?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!

Yeah Nana! Go Nana, Go Nana, Go! Good luck with the exercise. I hope you love it and the way it makes you feel. Keep us posted.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and that we all cope well with the food challenges the next few days. I've been super busy getting ready for a houseful of company, but I've still walked for 40 minutes for the last three days. I'm turning over a new leaf and putting my well being at the top of the list. It feels good.

Yesterday was the assessment, and I was a little unsure at the end of it. I tho't, "That wasn't fun at ALL and will I really DO this?"

But today was the first workout. And it was good not too strenuous and actually quite pleasant -- with just enough pain and sweat so that you know you've actually DONE something! LOL

He's cognizant of my age, my recent surgery and my fibromyalgia, so he had me do the treadmill for 5 to warm-up, two sets on four different weight machine and then 5 more on the treadmill to cool down.

I'm pleased. Not sure if I can make it up there today or tomorrow, but he's giving me another free session on Monday -- then I have to bite the bullet and find out how much it co$t$ to use his services.

I might can only afford once a month!!

        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
