November fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

I walked 2 miles at lunch. This weekend I'll figure out the bike commute - there was a trailer truck on fire on the side of the highway in rush hour last night, further cementing my zeal to never again use my car to get to work.

I upped some of my weights last night at the gym - fueled either by road rage, sugar or increased strength.

OH! And I ran last night!!!!!! Not much, but I really really want to start, and so I did (stressed sugar imbibing at work that day may have helped the run as well as the weights :-)).

I plan on a ride when I get home tonight. Had a crazy busy morning right up to going to work @ 3 pm. I may just take today as a rest day. I'll check in tomorrow with miles:)

I'm in. I'm Carson and I didn't "officially" join for October even though I am trying for the 100 mile mark. I am at 93 miles and some change so far so I should make it, I started out strong but then we got some rainy weather and had some busy days at work and blah blah blah. It doesn't matter. I'm shooting for 125 miles walked/run/elliptical (I'm doing couch to 5K as well, just can't seem to get through the week 1 completely and I alternate that with my elliptical). I also am going to shoot for a resistance work out 3 days a week. Let's GET IT y'all!

Hey a neighbor! I am in Haughton right down the road. I grew up and work in Shreveport. Welcome aboard!

First day of the new month is now in the books. 3.85 miles walked. Knee has been feeling pretty good the last few days. I am hoping to get a ride or 2 in this weekend now that all the rain is gone. Let's have a great month everyone and welcome to all the new faces! Come on in, do what you can but most of all...have fun!

I did 4 double unders in a row which is 4 more then I have ever done :) working towards 100 in a row by end of month.

Today: 2 miles, 195 GHD sits, 182 back extensions and 22 double unders in a 9 min workout. My infantile skill at double unders held my total reps back. Tired and aching after this week...

Still am trying to do a single overhead squat and failing. Will keep working at it. On my 6 month plan to do 1 - lol.

30 min on the elliptical today and almost 2 min plank last night- my penance for the crimes I committed yesterday at the company potluck. Working out with my trainer tomorrow so no gain but no loss expected. Going to a wedding tomorrow and I have house guests this weekend. So not good eating likely to continue. So glad I am upping the exercise this month!

Thanks Butter for the challenge :) Ok time to jump back in. Threw my back out about 6 weeks ago I think and have been rehabbing I have slipped discs that act crazy sometimes worse than others. Pretty intense pain sometimes :( I was riding my mountain bike 4 x week before that... I'm gonna jump back on the bike and work through the pain! My goal for November is light for what I was doing before but chiro says to ease back in so 5 to 8 miles a week walking and biking this month to get things going again.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
