April '07 Bandsters: August Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

I pulled this thread from one of the other months. Thought it would make a good start for us.

It's challenge time:

Pick a target level for how often & how long you plan to workout,

and we’ll be off… I’m shooting for Level 2~Intermediate this month!

I am in!!! I am gonna shoot for Level 2, 18 days in August. I may only make it to Level 1, (14) because of a couple of trips I will be on. If I can hit anywhere between 14-18, I'll be happy!

OOpps, I didn't read it all. I would be at the advanced level, 60 min. I might be closer to elite, but I'll claim advanced. Can't believe I am advanced at exercise...but 60 min is my min since i've been off this summer!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
