November Exercise Accountability Thread!
I don't know about you, but I love a place where I can stay accountable (like the daily weigh in thread), but I really want to start a thread that is based on exercise. So here we can have a workout goal, whether it be how many times we work out or how many miles we run. I figured I'd start this a few days early just so people can plan out their next months goals! Hope you can join me on this, lets sweat up a storm and lose some pudge!! See my post below for an example.

I will join you on this. :) I am eating much better than I used to, but I work from home as an illustrator and I am on my butt most of the day. I'd like to make it a goal to get 30 minutes of exercise minimum a day. Mostly cardio, yoga, and figure skating. I take a skating class every Thursday night, and working to take a power skating class every Monday morning and yoga at least once a week. I really would love to drop 20 pounds before the new year. I turn 26 in January. I'd like to stop feeling like a fat slob and keep it all off once and for all. I hate weigh-ins, but I may have to force myself to start weighing myself again.
----- 1. 30 Min Cardio - Done. Did 40 minutes on the bike. 2. 30 Min Cardio - Was home visiting family. Walked dog for 15 minutes. 3. 30 Min Cardio - Walked dog for 15 minutes, then skated fast at the volunteer event I go to. I was paired with a child that likes to just skate really fast and I had to keep up with him, managed it for a solid 40 minutes. 4. 30 Min Cardio - Did power skating class this morning instead, got a good workout and then wiped out doing a simple move, so I'm off the rest of the day. Bruised knees, wrist and ego. 5. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio - Did not happen. Woke up with a sinus infection and not getting better. May be out for a few days. Also was sick to my stomach earlier so I may have dropped a little due to that. 6. 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 7. Skating Class / 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 8. Skating or 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 9. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 10. Skating / 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 11. Power Skating Class - Sick. 12. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 13. 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 14. Skating Class / 30 Min Cardio - Sick. 15. Skating or 30 Min Cardio 16. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio 17. Skating / 30 Min Cardio 18. Power Skating Class 19. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio 20. 30 Min Cardio 21. Skating Class / 30 Min Cardio 22. Skating or 30 Min Cardio 23. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio 24. Skating / 30 Min Cardio 25. Power Skating Class 26. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio 27. 30 Min Cardio 28. Skating Class / 30 Min Cardio 29. Yoga / 30 Min Cardio 30. Skating / 30 Min Cardio Successful Days: 4/30 Failed Days: 10/30 (Due to sickness) |
Yaay! Thank you for joining me! Was worried I'd be the only one doing this ;p. I never really liked weighing in either, but now I like to weigh in daily to give myself an idea of how I'm doing. You could weigh in once a week, or even measure.

Week 1 over! I had 2 successful days and 1 fail day. I didn't feel too well last night when I was going to go on a run, so I skipped it. Here's to a kickass week 2!

Ok joining a little late on this but I started Jillian Michael's 30 day slimdown plan using her 3 videos the 30 day shred, no more trouble zones, and banish fat boost metabolism 2 days ago. The first day I totally almost fainted and puked (hadn't been eating a lot and worked out on an empty stomach which was a bad idea), but the second day was a lot easier and I'm hoping to stick to it. I know it will probably take me more than the 30 days but I realize I have to be reasonable in my expectations with work and school which is kicking into high gear and that's ok with me it's better than nothing which is what I had been doing (exercise fell by the wayside once september and clinical year hit :()

I've been sick since yesterday so no working out for me until Friday at the earliest. Binged horribly today.
|
ugh, I hate getting sick especially when you know you should workout but you know you can't! Rest up, eat well and hope you feel better soon!
I decided to switch my routine to a combination of Insanity and running, hope it works out for me! |
Still sick. :( I've missed a whole week of working out as a result. Going to the doctors tomorrow.
|
This isn't helping me keep up with my exercise. I've been slacking so much recently. I really don't know what to do. My best plans are useless when I have no motivation!!!
I've got plans tonight, but my goal is to start up tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Shaunalynn- I really hope you start feeling better. |
I think this will help for me!
I have been having huge personal issues so things have been slacking! I am doing things slow coz of severe arthritis in my knees so no judging! lol day 1 - dog training (1 hour) day 2 - walk dogs for 30 min day 3 - walk dogs for 30 min day 4 - hour hike day 5 - walk dog for 30 mins day 6 - rest day 7 - hour hike day 8 - dog training (1hour) day 9 - dog walk 30 mins day 10 - dog walk 30 mins day 11 - hour hike day 12 - dog walk 30 mins day 13 - rest day 14 - hour hike day 15 - dog training (1 hour) day 16 - dog walk 45min day 17 - dog walk 45mins day 18 - hour hike day 19 - dog walk 45mins day 20 - rest hold thumbs for me! |
FINALLY starting to feel better. I'm hoping to be able to get back in the workout circuit Monday. Giving myself until then to get completely better.
|
Glad you're feeling better at last!
Week 2 done! I added 4 fail days to the tally unfortunately but ended strong by working out over the weekend. Really loving doing Insanity but boy is it tough to do every single day! So I incorporated some potential run days on the horizon, I am training for a 10k after all. Pace is a bit slow these days, so not sure if I'll beat my record this time around. But the fact I'm exercising again is the most important part! |
I'm joining this late, but hopefully this will force me to check in and stay on track.
