December Fitness Challenge



Recommended Posts

Fiddle how's her c25k coming along?

She hasn't started it yet (just asked), but did go to cross fit a couple times last week and plans on getting into that some more. She is ecstatic that it helped her drop an extra 3 lbs. Running, unfortunately, is not her thing yet. Perhaps in the future.

Did the first day of Insanity today, discovered that it is aptly named. Also, the guy couldn't find the starting vdv, where you assess your fitness level etc. so we jumped right in with cardio and I almost blacked out 3 times. I'm going to go look at this planking challenge and if it is something I can do in my room, I'm in!

Sunday I did 4.4 miles. I also did a lot of up and down the ladder while hanging Christmas lights on the house.

Thanks to Butter, I will be doing miles this time. I will attempt 30-40 miles walking/cycling and the plank challenge. I've cycled 2 miles this morning and completed my plank for the day. I added 5 more seconds to my plank over yesterday!!

Whew....did a 9 mile run this morning. Not an easy run. One of those days where every step was painful. But I'm getting ready for aha of marathon this month so I need to get my miles back up. I'm still not where I was before my surgery 2 months ago, hopefully I will be by the end of this month.

I'm going to shoot for 2 miles a day, which would be 62 miles for Dec. I think that is doable for me right now. Wish I could do the plank challenge, I can't wait to get working on my abs, maybe Jan

Hey there.

Thanks, Butter, for facilitating this!

I was sleeved two weeks ago, so I'm getting back into the swing of things with regard to exercise...I'm only cleared for walking right now.

I'm going to do a total of 50 miles this month.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
