May Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

My challenge is getting through a move from one house into a new house w/out gaining. :cool2:

I fell off the wagon the last week of April and now I'm trying to get back on it. Rains came and I just didn't go out of the house, I didn't do anything.

We cleaned up the yard on Saturday, and today I AM GOING TO THE GYM. I am. I am. I am. I am.

Goal for May (a realistic one for right now) is to go to the gym at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. I know that's small, but I just need to keep moving and release stress for May. Once we're settled into the new house, I'll be doing more. (It has a pool, so I'll be swimming!!! I love swimming!)

Ok, alarm went off at 0345 this morning. I immediately reset it for 0515. Just could not get out of bed.:cool2:

Got softball tonight. Tomorrow I'll hit the gym for cardio in the morning and upper body in the afternoon. Friday will be light cardio in the morning and maybe light legs in the pm.. Want fresh legs for my 5k on Saturday.

Had my first being stuck experience ever yesterday at lunch. Had a fill last Thur. and am tighter than ever before and lunch did not agree with me at all. So, no exercise yesterday pm.

This morning, just did an easy 1.6 miles on the treadmill followed by 10 min. cooldown. Legs are feeling GOOD for tomorrow mornings 5k run.

I'll get into the gym this afternoon for the upper body workout I was supposed to do yesterday.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
