    CENTURY CLUB EXERCISE CHALLENGE

    This challenge is for all folks who have 100+ pounds to lose, are in the process of losing 100+ pounds or have lost 100+ pounds. There are no charts, nor measurements. only made goal or didn't, and what you are going to do next week.


    There is a thinking extra credit question too which is optional.

    We have very different obstacles to overcome in dealing with exercises, equipment and how our bodies respond to new exercise programs then the lightweight losers do. You can be in this challenge and all the other challenges on the exercise board too. This is an open enrollment, weekly commitment to your exercise goals based on your ability.

    Use this thread to post your questions, concerns, cheers and even your failures. If you see someone out on the board who would qualify for our challenge invite them to do so. We will have a new topic each month so the poor server doesn't have a coronary loading all the CCEC members who are going to join this challenge TDL weekly reports for 12 months just so each of us can read what our fellow TDL members have posted in this coming DEC. Hopefully the mods will archive it for us so you can look back and see where you were and how far you have come.

    I know from running one of these earlier here we have had quite a few alien abductions so don't laugh about that part right Linda. After all no CC memeber would willingly stop doing the exercise part of their Atkins program right )


    The pledge:
    I, ______________(Please use your screen name here so folks can see who has posted and how needs a nudge) promise unless injured or abducted by aliens to do the workout I have committed to do this week and report my results faithfully the following Monday.

    WEEK 1
    take setbacks in stride
    Learn from your mistakes and keeping looking toward the future.

    Goals
    Make goals for what you will accomplish this week. Be realistic, make them attainable. Challenge yourself, but don't set yourself up for failure by promising more than you know you can do.
    When I started out I was doing 2MPH for 20 minutes and thought I was Rocky on top of those steps. Now I'm in much better shape and can do much more much faster so if I posted I was doing that now I hope y'all would kick my butt for being an exercise slug.

        I, brabea22, promise unless injured or abducted by aliens to do the workout I have committed to do this week and report my results faithfully the following Monday.

        Goal -- I will walk for the first four tracks of my favorite Phil Collins CD (approximately 21 minutes) per day every day this week. I will also go out for extra walking on my wife's days off.

        Extra Credit -- I always have a little fear in the back of my mind that I am really going to hurt my bad knee, but as I get lighter, that fear diminishes.

            Isn't Monday report day? If so here goes: I got all my exercise in this week and made it out to do more walking with my wife on her days off. I was thoroughly exhausted after walking around with the wife, but what a load of fun. I can't wait till she is off again.

            This week I will continue to do the first 4 tracks (21 mins) of Phil everday.

                  Re: CCEC report topic

                  Well, I am reporting in from the alien spaceship. These guys aren't much for exercise, but they have some awesome broadband connections up here!

                  Due to the abduction, I only got in two days this week. But I rode my bike (real bike on real trail) for an hour (so that's twice as much as I'd planned!) and I walked for a hour one day -- so instead of three times for a half hour (total of an hour), I did two hours -- just an hour each time.

                  Ahh -- today begins another week, and I am reinducting for the first time. So, we'll see if I can get my act together and bid adieu to some more of my flubber!

                    Weight lift 4x a week - weight lifting includes conducting at least one PT test with my goal being at least 36 pushups and 43 situps in two minutes

                    What's your biggest fear when it comes to exercise? How realistic is this fear?

                    My fear is that I will eventually not be able to motivate myself being at goal as easily or effectively as I did with a weight goal driving be on. It's pretty realistic as I have dropped from a 6 times per week to 4 times the last two weeks. I also dropped lifting weights for 4 weeks straight before just recently restarting. Not letting old habits (which sounds funny in a good sense) of exercise dedication die is key to positive feelings about myself.

                          I thought we were reporting on Mondays?

                          Anyway, I surpassed my goal this week. Instead of doing my pledged 21 minute walk everyday, I did two per day for a total of 42 minutes per day. On top of this, I went out and walked an additional 3 hours with my wife on her days off.

                          This week my pledge is to do two 21 minute walking sessions per day everyday. I will report back on Monday.
