November Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

This new job is kicking my ass. As is some kind of cold/virus, our drenching, multi-day rains, and my walking partner the dog unable to walk thanks to a swollen foot.

So today all I did was a 20 minute walk, followed by weight and core work this morning. It's 6:30 p.m., dark, pouring, cold, and I'm only at 4800 steps for the day, but I don't know if I can drag myself out.

Motivation, please find me! :thumbup:

As for exercise:

Monday-upper body workout and 65 minutes of cardio.

Tues-Leg workout and 65 min cardio

Wed-65 min cardio

Thur-had my practical exams for EMT and just couldn't do cardio and then those. After class, we had to unwind at the local beverage establishment. So, day off from working out.

How did you do, Georgia?

I did housework for 4 hours yesterday...does that count? If not, I was a blob yesterday. Feeling a little 'blechy' today; have yet to see if I can get my rear in gear and do something.

Friday

6.5 miles walking

ab work

weight training

Saturday

NOTHING - came home from jewelry class and went to bed. This is one of those colds where I feel almost fine, until I try to do something. Blech.

Sunday (today)

1.5 miles - I think, after retrieving my pedometer from the pocket of my just-washed jeans. Sigh. Cold on the brain as well as in the nose ... I'll try some ab and weight training later, if my body agrees.

Yesterday-leg workout and 35 minutes on elliptical.

Today-too lazy to get to the gym before church. Got a call from work to come in for some O.T. So, I went home to catch some football and then came in to work. Going to be a bad/tough week for working out. Here until midnight, then back at 0800 tomorrow. Will have to workout tomorrow night after work, going to be TIRED!

Double on Tuesday for the holiday (gotta love holiday OT:thumbup:) Off on Wednesday, but have to take truck in for brake work it looks like (there goes holiday OT). Back in for OT on Thursday, work on Friday and Saturday. Going to be a LONNNNNG week. Especially with DW going out of town Wed-Fri for work. Just me and DD.

Yay Georgia!

As for me...yesterday was a complete and total failure. Not only did I not do anything, I grazed all day. Nothing was safe - in the fridge, on the counter, in the freezer, in a cupboard. Let the chastizing begin....

Today - 45 minutes hard cycling; 20 minutes upper body/arms; 30 min brisk walk.

Hi - I'm late to this one...but I"m here.

Georgia and I ran the 5K Saturday - whoohoo! I finished and that was my goal (ended up running 6K for me - shhh I got lost - lol). Anyway my next goal is to do it under 45 - there is a race in March I want to do. I then went to the fair Saturday night and walked alot then.

Sunday - took the day off - other than housework and folding clothes, vacuuming, mopping...all that jazz

Monday - I did 15 minutes on the elliptical - my thighs are still really sore. I then got into the sauna and relaxed. I have Zumba class tonight - definately going to shake my Thang! Hey GG - you doing zumba this week?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
