December Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ooh, you must be feeling a bit crappy!

Today I did a circuit probably 80% all out effort, bit tired. This more intense training really wears you out.

Tomorrow, not sure. Might take another day off - 2 days off per week. See how I feel in the morning. Would like to maybe rest tomorrow, long run on Sunday.

Then I plan to drive myself into the ground next week as we're going to a friend's beach house the week after and I will probably do no more than a couple of jogs down there.

Jachut, a beach house sounds lovely right now.

Lulu, I am getting my RX after work today. Thank goodness it is Friday. I have been working late at work, then with the commute it is hard to get my personal stuff done (exercise and errands).

Anyway, back on track by tomorrow.

Yesterday: No exercise late work night. :biggrin:

Today was 45 minutes of lower leg workout. More snow this morning. Not nearly as much as they said it would be, so that is good. Unfortunately, we are supposed to get another 3-5" tomorrow.:biggrin:

Didn't do anything yesterday - the Y was closed due to the weather.

So far today 45 min of hard shoveling; round two in another 15 min or so.....

Round 2 - another 45 min of shoveling...

Today: No real exercise. Was at shopping centers walking and walking, but I didn't break a sweat. Picking up family from the airport for the holidays. I am swamped.

I am hoping tomorrow I can get back on track.:tongue_smilie:

Great jobs everyone!

As for me, back in the gym this morning for 45 minutes of upper body circuit training. Had a great workout. This is week 6 of my 6 wk cycle with 12 reps. Everything went according to plan. No cardio as I had to get to work and am working late tonight. This week is just not shaping up for much in the way for cardio.:biggrin: Hopefully, next week will be better.

Today a.m., 40 minutes of leg circuit workout. Had to hurry through it as I was dropping my Explorer off for new tires and my friend was picking me up. Plus, it is snowing AGAIN :thumbup: and we wanted to beat most of the traffic into work.

        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
