dee you are so close your goal already, that is amazing!!

I have been keeping my net carbs under 30 grams since Sunday and there were a couple days that I did not have the energy to work out. I am hoping they become fewer and further between as my body adjusts!

KFunk, you are doing AMAZING! BigFatMomma- you are as well! Kelijpa, you're kicking butt too!

So I'm changing my goal to 600 minutes of exercise for the month. I'm doing better at actually sticking to exercise, although we are moving next week to our new house so that might derail me a little but I'll try to still squeeze in some exercise.

Goal: 300 minutes of exercise
Updated Goal: 600 minutes of exercise

10/3- 36 minute outdoor walk

10/9- 31 minute outdoor walk

10/11- 15 minutes weight training
10/12- 25 minutes cardio (T25 Speed 3.0)

Ok, I've gotten a bit behind on exercise; fell down the stairs two weeks ago, and have been unable to hit the gym. I may have a torn ligament, I have an MRI tomorrow. I'm going to revise my goals and try to get back to the gym for some upper body work tomorrow.

kelijpa 10-17-2017 07:06 AM

Kfunk its an app, each day it adds 5 seconds to your plank, wevery 4 or 5 days is a rest day, i’ll Post a screenshot later so you can see.

Shea sorry to hear, hope you’re feeling better

kfunk6113 10-17-2017 08:12 AM

joy Great start to the month!!!

shea Good luck with your MRI today! I hope that you can get some relief soon!

kelijpa I am super interested in this! I downloaded the app by 30 day fit body and I think I am going to add this on to the end of my 30DS workouts!!

Chunkahlunkah 10-20-2017 02:11 PM

I'd made my goal daily exercise this month. I didn't come close to achieving that. :lol: I started out kinda strong...ended up doing 5/7 days during my first week in the challenge. I've only done 2 or 3 days/week since then though. And except for yesterday's workout, all of this was my short 10 minute workout. Yesterday I finally did a longer one. That was tough!

I miss the body tone I got from more frequent/intense exercise. So I'm going to bump my exercise up to 3+ days a week using my 30 min+ workouts. That's not as much as I did last month, when I was often working out 4 days a week and doubling up on many of those days. I just don't have time for that much this month though.

I'm not officially changing my goal for this month, just updating to let you guys know that I missed goal but am still in the game. :D

Chunkahlunkah 10-20-2017 03:34 PM

October goal: Currently unreachable :lol: so instead I'll just go back to listing my day's workout. Listing it seems to help me stay on track. :)

kfunk6113 10-21-2017 08:58 AM

Hey ladies!! I am just checking in to say that I am taking a break from my workouts until I am finished with the antibiotics that I am on. I have 6 days left and then I am hoping I can jump back in. I will not make my goal this month, but will be happy with myself if I finish the month strong.

We're moving this week/weekend so I haven't been getting any traditional exercise. I am getting my steps in, though! I have 138K steps and 602 flights of steps so far this week, and the day isn't over yet. This will be my best week ever with my Fitbit, I'm certain.

gardenerjoy 10-22-2017 11:01 AM

Chunkahlunkah: glad you're still with us! Listing the day's workout, even when my goal is out of reach helps me, too. It sets me up well for the next month!

I am planning on getting back to my workouts tonight, hopefully its not too early, but if it is I will listen to my body and take it easy.

I can't believe that the month is already almost over!

Thanks, gardenerjoy! I think of listing as the grown-up version of getting stickers for our achievements. It gives me a similar buzz of satisfaction. :D

October Goal: Unreachable, but am now aiming to work out 3 days a week using a 30 min+ workout. (My days off from work are Wed-Fri, so that's when my workouts usually happen.)

October goal - 12x ST, complete 30 day plank challenge

Good morning all!
GardenerJoy thanks for the thread, hope all is well.

10/01-day 11/30, 0/12
10/02-day 12/30(rest day :)), 0/12
10/03-day 13/30, 1/12
10/04-day 14/30
10/05-15/30 halfway, planks are hard :)
10/06-16/30 rest day, that was easier :D
10/07-17/30 whew, 2/12
10/08-18/30
10/09-19/30, 3/12
10/10-20/30
10/11-21/30 105 seconds I had to do the last 25 seconds as knee, then I did another 45, might try it again tonight, whew, did another 45, 4/12 ST
10/12-22/30, 110 seconds, same as yesterday, knee last 25, so I managed an extra 5 seconds from yesterday:D
10/13-23/30, 5/12
10/14-24/30
10/15-25/30, 6/12
10/16-26/30 did I say planks are hard?!
10/17-27/30, I did half regular plank, half knee plank, 65 seconds each, I drop to a knee plank when I feel like I’m going to die...:lol: 7/12 did them outside, that is so cool
10/18-28/30
10/19-29/30 145 is a lot of seconds...my plan is to keep doing this challenge until I can hold the plank without dropping to a knee plank for the whole time, I think it’s partially mental :twirly: so not giving myself the out of I did it, I never have to do that again :), 8/12 ST
10/20-30/30! GOAL!!

Goal: 300 minutes of exercise
Updated Goal: 600 minutes of exercise

10/3- 36 minute outdoor walk
10/4- 62 minute outdoor walk
10/5- 32 minute outdoor walk
10/8- 45 minutes weight training
10/9- 31 minute outdoor walk
10/10- 46 minute outdoor walk
10/11- 15 minutes weight training
10/12- 25 minutes cardio (T25 Speed 3.0)
10/13- 28 minute outdoor walk
10/17- 3 hour hike, 24K steps, 12 miles
10/26-86 minute outdoor walk

14 minutes to go

I had been getting tons of steps in the past two weeks because we've been moving- averaging over 20K steps per day. But it's just slow all-day movement and not really at the pace one would consider exercise. I'm only counting the faster paced activities.
