December Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ooh, you must be feeling a bit crappy!

Today I did a circuit probably 80% all out effort, bit tired. This more intense training really wears you out.

Tomorrow, not sure. Might take another day off - 2 days off per week. See how I feel in the morning. Would like to maybe rest tomorrow, long run on Sunday.

Then I plan to drive myself into the ground next week as we're going to a friend's beach house the week after and I will probably do no more than a couple of jogs down there.

Jachut, a beach house sounds lovely right now.

Lulu, I am getting my RX after work today. Thank goodness it is Friday. I have been working late at work, then with the commute it is hard to get my personal stuff done (exercise and errands).

Anyway, back on track by tomorrow.

Yesterday: No exercise late work night. :biggrin:

Today was 45 minutes of lower leg workout. More snow this morning. Not nearly as much as they said it would be, so that is good. Unfortunately, we are supposed to get another 3-5" tomorrow.:biggrin:

Didn't do anything yesterday - the Y was closed due to the weather.

So far today 45 min of hard shoveling; round two in another 15 min or so.....

Round 2 - another 45 min of shoveling...

Today: No real exercise. Was at shopping centers walking and walking, but I didn't break a sweat. Picking up family from the airport for the holidays. I am swamped.

I am hoping tomorrow I can get back on track.:tongue_smilie:

Great jobs everyone!

As for me, back in the gym this morning for 45 minutes of upper body circuit training. Had a great workout. This is week 6 of my 6 wk cycle with 12 reps. Everything went according to plan. No cardio as I had to get to work and am working late tonight. This week is just not shaping up for much in the way for cardio.:biggrin: Hopefully, next week will be better.

Today a.m., 40 minutes of leg circuit workout. Had to hurry through it as I was dropping my Explorer off for new tires and my friend was picking me up. Plus, it is snowing AGAIN :thumbup: and we wanted to beat most of the traffic into work.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
