August Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Well, I haven't updated in a few days, but I have been working out!

I took Sunday off, but Monday I did 45 minutes on the elliptical and today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then 30 minutes with my trainer. I also took the dogs for a 10 minute walk.

So far so good :)

Updating my list:

8/1 - 35 minutes walking at 3+mph and 2.0 incline; AND 15 minutes bicycling @ 20+mph (5.5 miles in 15 minutes); AND 1 mile walking around the block (approx. 20 minutes). Total - 70 minutes

8/2 - 25 minutes walking at 3+mph and 2.0 incline; AND 15 minutes bicycling @ 20+mph (5.5 miles in 15 minutes); AND 10 minutes on the elliptical at home after a day on my ass playing cards. Total - 50 minutes

8/3 - 30 minutes bicycling @ 22mph (11 miles in 30 minutess) + 1.5 mile cool down; AND 15 or so minutes treading Water, moderate; AND 25 minutes (1 mile) walking around Town Square in Las Vegas. Will also do 30 minutes of light stability ball work tonight. Total - 45 vigorous + 25 minutes light to moderate (ball not included)

8/4 - Day Off

8/5 - 30 minutes bicycling @ 22mph (11 miles in 30 minutes) + 1.0 mile cool down. Will also do 30 minutes of light stability ball work tonight. Total - 30 minutes (ball not included)

I have also updated my goal. I have figured out the average of 45 minutes per day for 20 and 30 days, and met in the middle. I hope to meet a total of 1125 minutes for the month of August, however many days it takes me to get there.

      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.
