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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
