December Exercise Challenge

Hi Everyone

I thought I would start a December exercise challenge thread -- until Band Chick is able to put a new one up.

Good luck and Happy Holidays to all!!!

Today I didn't do squat. Does that count? :confused:

But did you at least squat doing it?? LOL

I posted my complete lack of exercise today as an NSV.....because unlike the past, I REALLY wanted to exercise, I just didn't have time for it!

I've revised my challenge goals for December -- watch my siggie and kick my butt if you see me slacking, 'kay?

Day 1 down. I had to cancel my gym membership for financial reasons, but I got some weights and an exercise ball, so now I am good to go at home. My arms are so tired, it almost hurts to type!

I'm in for 16 days this month! I also did squat yesterday. I am working on two final papers so i will start on monday. I have to lose 7 lbs by 12/20!

Worked out with the exercise ball again today. Hoping to get something going as my scale has officially stalled. My arms are tired, it is quite a workout.

Well yesterday was my day to not do squat, but I am back at it today.

I will be traveling for the next few days and am hoping that I will find someplace other than hotel gyms (which are just SO boring) for my workouts.

Have a great week everyone!

1 day down for me. I really want to make this goal this month. It will be the first time EVER that I lose weight over the holidays.

weight lifting with my son and 30 minutes on the treadmill. He has agreed to be my workout buddy. I wonder how much that will cost me!!

LadyBug - How is the fill working? I wish I had a workout buddy. My BF is not so much into the exercise thing. He said he did enough for a lifetime when he was in the military.

Day 3 done last night. I was too tired to post afterwards. I could barely lift my arms up.

I took a few days off from walking, unless you count hours of Christmas shopping and decorating the house and yard! Back to formal walking for exercise today - 40 minutes.

Salsa,

The fill is great. What a difference! I ate a bit too quick today and got a terrible pain but it subsided pretty quickly. I can just about stick to 3 small meals a day and my Protein in between. I am hoping my son sticks with the exercise. It helps me because I don't want to disappoint him.

Isn't accountability amazing! I am actually looking forward to going home and working out tonight. Not sure if it is because I am starting to like exercise or if it just means that I won't be at work. Either way I will milk it for all it is worth. Will check back in after the workout to post!

30 minutes treadmill....125 crunches on the AB Lounger and a bit of boxing (that was fun....saw it on the Biggest Loser). If this continues Son #2 will get something very special for Christmas. ;);) :clap2:

I can only hope to get to the point where I want to work out. I am not weighing myself everyday because my weight fluctuates too much. Once a week will do it for me. I can feel a difference so hopefully the scale will show a difference. Since I turned 45 this year the weight is hard to drop.

Good morning!

Still traveling, but the hotel I am staying at happens to have a very deluxe fitness center (a refreshing surprise), so I got an excellent, not-too-boring, workout in this morning.

LadyBugRed congrats on your successful fill :clap2::clap2::clap2:!

Welcome to the wonderful world of restriction -- it's great isn't it?

Have a great day day everyone!
