Aug/Sept Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Walked one hour again today. I really needed it today. We had people over to watch football yesterday and I ate way too much. That's the first time I've done that since surgery. Anyway, I'm getting right back on track (and waiting very anxiously for my first fill Sept. 28). Today I completed the challenge to do 21 days of mindful exercise. Woo Hoo! Since there are 13 more days in September I'm going to set another goal of 8 more days of mindful exercise this month.

Thanks Chinokitty. Congrats are in order for you too. I saw your post about being down a size. Way to go!

Today instead of walking I worked in the yard for 1.5 hours. It was harder than walking!

I haven't been very good at posting, but I have been exercising and I guess that is the important part.

I walk at least 1/2 hour though last night it was a little longer because football was on and I finished watching the game.

I just stretch my calves under the table anytime I am at a meeting or anytime I must sit for a while.

I went back to work, where I walk all day. I can't wait to get a pedimeter and measure how far I really walk.

Good job! Every bit COUNTS! :clap2:

I just stretch my calves under the table anytime I am at a meeting.

That's exactly what this challenge is all about-- get us thinking about exercise every day. Those stretches add up! Keep up the great work! :cheer2:

I finally had to take a day off from walking, but I think I may have gotten in more exercise than normal. I chaperoned a school dance and probably walked around the perimeter of the commons about 100 times. However it wasn't "mindful exercise" so I didn't count it!

<p>I've been having internet access problems (boo Time Warner) so haven't been able to post for a few days.</p> <p>I walked for 35 minutes on 9/23 and 48 minutes on 9/24 and more yard work everyday!</p> <p> </p> <p>Chinokitty, I'd post a picture of the yard if I could figure out how. It does look pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Of course, it should with all the time I've spent working on it lately! It is getting easier (thank goodness) as I am losing weight and building stamina and strength.</p>

Walk, walk, walk. I will be so glad when we get our DVD player hooked up in the room that my treadmill is in. I am getting really tired of looking at the same spot in the room. The music just isn't keeping my eyes off of that dang clock that ticks away so slowly!

I'm BAAAACK!!!

Didja miss me?

I finally clocked my distance and time today -- 1.1 miles at 27 minutes. Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but considering I couldn't/WOULDN'T attempt to make it to the mailbox a few months ago, I'LL TAKE IT!!!!

Anyway -- I made the 21/21....just barely squeaking in!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
