July Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I'm back and I'm in!!! Like Becky (hey girlfriend -- great to have you joining us :thumbup::smile::)), I'm recovering from surgery and my Dr. doesn't want me doing too much too soon, so I'm setting a very modest goal for myself this month, but look forward to rocking with the rest of you in the coming months!

I got a twenty minute walk in yesterday, today I'm shooting for 30 minutes. Have a great day everyone!!!

Treadmill today:

interval incline and speed

4 min warm-up

jogging the entire 41 minutes!

You know I have to make myself get on and I sort of drag my feet most days, but it feels so good when you are done!!! :thumbup:

I hope I'm not too late to join. I'm setting a pretty low goal for myself this month. Considering it's been, oh I dunno about 3 years since I've done any real exercise! So my goal is simply to work out 3x a week this month, but I am really shooting for more. I know that if I have to come and check in every day that I'll be accountable and get it done!

Today I swam 20 laps and walked for 30, so off to a good start for me! Already feeling a nice burst of energy from that too! I love this feeling!! :thumbup:

BTW you are all doing awesome! I can't believe some of the numbers you are putting up! VERY inspiring! keep up all the hard work!

Frangi, glad I've got my exercise buddy back! We'll both be back in full swing in no time.

I walked for 35 minutes today and I'm continuing to pick up the pace. Gotta get started on potato salad now. We're having a big bash today. Happy 4th to everyone!

Checking in and modifying my goal for the month.

3 mornings a week: Couch to 5k (that remains unchanged)

4 mornings a week: 45 minutes of walking

Originally, I reported that I would do the 3 mornings a week and walk every evening with my mom. She has proven to be an unreliable walking buddy (I'd never tell her that, though). So, I'd rather get my exercise in every morning on my own, and then if my mom wants to walk in the evening, it will just be added bonus, but I don't expect it more than 1 - 3 days a week.

Day three (and four, five, six) are swimming! Spending a long weekend in Phoenix by a friend's pool. With this heat, I am still trying to walk, but swimming is much more my style when I am melting!

=) So far, so good!

      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.
