august exercise challenge



Recommended Posts

Note to self, when your groin and hamstring muscles are still tight from doing legs, do not try to go heavy on dead lifts. Tends to strain those muscles.:thumbup:

Anyway, did shoulders last night. Ran 3.6 miles again this morning. This afternoon will be tri's and forearms.

Last night:

3.5 miles during lunch hour

PS - IT'S NOT YOU 3 - I'll make it 4 again - I made myself read all your entries to lay more guilt on

Last day of August. WTF!!!! Where did the summer go? Oh well, at least it's almost time to watch my 'Boys stomp through the NFC East.:biggrin:

Ran 6 miles this morning. Started out looking to do only about 4, but just kept going when I hit the 2 mile mark going out. Figured I'd see if I could do the 6 mile route after only being back at running for a couple weeks. Tired, but felt good at the end. We'll see how it goes the rest of the day.

Tonight will be chest again.

I'm just the opposite on the food issue. Once I eat, I cannot do cardio. I have to do cardio before any food is consumed or I just don't feel like I can breath.

i'm not running, so maybe that's the difference?

typically i have greek yogurt w/fruit.

btw - doing nothing today:)

Even if it is on the elliptical, I don't feel "right".

Morning, all!:biggrin:

Extended my run distance on Sunday morning at hubby's insistence (sometimes ya just need a push)...did 1.29 miles (according to Prevention.com map), ran the whole thing...felt good.

Hubby decided that if we make it through a run (extended distance) with no problems (shin splints, having to stop, etc) then we extend a little at a time until we hit a new limit. Add on a block or so each run day until we hit one we need more time on...not 100% sure I'm ready for that, but what the hey - at least my distance will keep going up! :biggrin:

Sometimes I think my head gets in the way - I could do more, but I don't THINK I can, and sometimes I don't try. Having a running partner pushes me to realize I really AM stronger than I think I am.

We'll see how it goes...looking forward to tomorrow's run. Walked this morning - no problems.:blushing:

Will walk at lunchtime and again to the train station tonight...onward and outward!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
