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. ;)

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
