April Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok, I had to start one of these.:thumbup: I know it's not quite April, but with it snowing here, I had to at least have April thoughts.

Let's keep up the great work and see the results coming.

Me personally, I want to be below 270 before softball starts at the end of the month. Shooting for 267-268

Also walking the track and climbing the stair at the high school football field, and doing the bike at night. I also have a weight goal of getting to 200 by May 8th, going on vacation then. Good luck everyone.

Ok, so last night (I know, last night of March, but I'm putting it here:biggrin:), I did my upper body workout. Went real good, 11 rep circuits per exercise. This morning was back on elliptical for 65 minutes, 1103 calories and 5.36 miles. Back in tonight for lower body and 11 rep circuits.

Hope all is going well for you guys and your workout goals so far.

I was on elliptical this morning and did 60minute and the darn machine kicked me off...lol but only burn 845cal. I think if you run it on default it will only do 60min (actually was 58min and 2min cool down) then it shut off. I usually do 35min elliptical and then 30min treadmill but I wasnt that tired today and I also had a good view :lol:

Ceradad: one of these days ill catch up to you... lol

So there's no "exercise police" here? First time signing up - I thought there might be a set challenge of time etc...Whosya, going to keep me in check????...LOL

Right now thru the first of May I'm in a twice a wk Boot Camp w/trainer. No idea what I'll be doing till that day comes...BTW it's an A$$ whip.

3/4 days I'm doing hard cardio & weight training or core exercises set by the man that whips my butt.

Not sure of any additional info to throw out - advise welcomed..:blush:

Hey all. I am in too. I have been going strong since surgery. For April, I will walk 6 days/week until April 17th (6 weeks post op visit and possible 1st fill.) At that point I hope to get the OK to start running, again. If that happens, I will re-start the Couch to 5K program with walking or elliptical in between, maintain 6 days/week.

I'm in. Even though I was banded 8 months ago, I only recently found and joined this web site. I did not start exercising until January 08 but have consistently done low intensity aerobics since then. I plan to get in 18 hours of aerobic activity (walking) and 8 hours of resistance training. We'll see.....:thumbup:

Sorry, no workout police, just lots of encouragement from those on here.

As for me, as I said yesterday, last night was lower body circuit training. This morning, I had a chiro appt, so I was able to get extra cardio in. Did 65 minutes on elliptical for 5.33 miles and 1085 calories. Then, did another 65 on the elliptical doing interval training. Did 5.44 miles and 1150 calories. Sweating bullets the whole time.:wink_smile:

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
