October Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok - I did 30 minutes elliptical tonight...

but at work today I climbed up and down 8 flights of stairs - TWICE! I'm soooo counting that as exercise! What do you all think... I'm slow... so maybe call it... 10 minutes total?? That sounds fair! (I won't count the minutes I stood on the landing betweeen flights trying to catch my breath!!!!)

30 minutes walking/jogging in place in my bedroom while watching Greys Anatomy... I was too lazy to actually GO to the gym! But at least I moved and got to my 10,000 steps (according to BodyBugg!)

New total: 690 minutes... only 110 left! Not only do I think I'll MAKE my goal.. I think I'll surpass it!!!!!

If you guys have a challenge for November, I would love to join in. I have been doing my own for the past three months, but think it would be fun to join in.

I do notice that If I set a goal, and write it down and keep track each day, that I am much more eager to keep up with the exercising. In fact some days, I make myself get busy just so I can subtract those minutes from the monthly total.

You guys are all doing so good. A real inspiration.

Hey joeygirl! I'm more than sure we will do a NOvember one! Lol. Some of us *ME* need the accountability!

OK all. I just did 30 minutes walking in place in front of my TV, using 2 pound softweights in my hands while I did different moves with my arms. Yay! Thanks to my bodybugg (they should pay me for advertising!) I know I have now burned all my calories for the day and almost have my 10,000 steps in for the day. ;)

45 minute chest workout

30 minutes on stationary bike

75 total for the day. I got my bodybugg and I am fixing to set it up. I am sooo excited. Has anyone tried the free samples they sent? And if so, are they good?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
