December Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I thought I would start a December exercise challenge thread -- until Band Chick is able to put a new one up.

Good luck and Happy Holidays to all!!!

Today I didn't do squat. Does that count? :confused:

But did you at least squat doing it?? LOL

I posted my complete lack of exercise today as an NSV.....because unlike the past, I REALLY wanted to exercise, I just didn't have time for it!

I've revised my challenge goals for December -- watch my siggie and kick my butt if you see me slacking, 'kay?

Day 1 down. I had to cancel my gym membership for financial reasons, but I got some weights and an exercise ball, so now I am good to go at home. My arms are so tired, it almost hurts to type!

Worked out with the exercise ball again today. Hoping to get something going as my scale has officially stalled. My arms are tired, it is quite a workout.

Well yesterday was my day to not do squat, but I am back at it today.

I will be traveling for the next few days and am hoping that I will find someplace other than hotel gyms (which are just SO boring) for my workouts.

Have a great week everyone!

weight lifting with my son and 30 minutes on the treadmill. He has agreed to be my workout buddy. I wonder how much that will cost me!!

LadyBug - How is the fill working? I wish I had a workout buddy. My BF is not so much into the exercise thing. He said he did enough for a lifetime when he was in the military.

Day 3 done last night. I was too tired to post afterwards. I could barely lift my arms up.

I took a few days off from walking, unless you count hours of Christmas shopping and decorating the house and yard! Back to formal walking for exercise today - 40 minutes.

Salsa,

The fill is great. What a difference! I ate a bit too quick today and got a terrible pain but it subsided pretty quickly. I can just about stick to 3 small meals a day and my Protein in between. I am hoping my son sticks with the exercise. It helps me because I don't want to disappoint him.

Isn't accountability amazing! I am actually looking forward to going home and working out tonight. Not sure if it is because I am starting to like exercise or if it just means that I won't be at work. Either way I will milk it for all it is worth. Will check back in after the workout to post!

30 minutes treadmill....125 crunches on the AB Lounger and a bit of boxing (that was fun....saw it on the Biggest Loser). If this continues Son #2 will get something very special for Christmas. ;);) :clap2:

I can only hope to get to the point where I want to work out. I am not weighing myself everyday because my weight fluctuates too much. Once a week will do it for me. I can feel a difference so hopefully the scale will show a difference. Since I turned 45 this year the weight is hard to drop.

      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.
