    APRIL TDL TOPIC

    THIS PAGE IS FOR ALL NEW TO THE CHALLENGE FOLK. ALL RETURNING MEMEBERS GO TO THIS WEEKS TOPIC PAGE AND READS THE EXTRACREDIT BEFORE YOUR POST PLEASE.

    iF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS CHALLENGE PLEASE READ THIS POST SO YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND THEN FIND THE EXTRA CREDIT FOR THE CURRENT WEEK IF YOU WANT TO ANSWER IT POST YOUR PLEDGE AND GOALS FOR THE CURRENT WEEK


    TRIPLE DIGIT LOSERS 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 no measurements only your made goal or you 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 the 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 CC 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 on other boards we have had quite a few alien abductions so don't laugh about that part.After all now 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.

    This week's question:

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

    Okay I triple dawg Dare y'all to join!

      I missed my goal on weight lifting. Having the wife home only increased our desire to do other things. On the positive I did do cardio workout 5 days and did some hiking with the family on Sunday. Two decent size hills for the kids had the blessed effect of wearing them out. My goal this week is simply to do cardio 5x and lift when I can. It's a crazy week already with additional consulting work and incooperative computers.

      E.C.
      My role model for right now is TTdriver. Her commitment to exercise specifically running is phenomenal and if I could a fourth of what she does, I'd be a happy man.

        opps forgot to post mine I made my exercise goals and even though I hate the swimming stuff i have to admit my knees are liking it better.

        I will contiue my lifting and cardio 3X and the swimming 3 x and see how that goes for another week. Feels so weird not sweating on M-W-F anymore.

                  I, anotherkim, 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.

                  My goals for the week, April 10-17:

                  Sunday-Wednesday, gym every night. 1.5 miles on treadmill. 1 mile at least 3.5 mph. This is up from the 1 mile that I have been doing for the past 3 weeks, but doable. I've added the extra half mile the past two times and it's been easy.

                  Do at least two nights of weight machines (will hope for 4, but lots going on this week in prep for my trip).

                  Two neighborhood walks--1 mile, but with hills. OUCHIE!

                  Thursday-Sunday I'll be in New York City!! :icondance so I will just be trying not to get any blisters or trip over anything. I will also be trying to avoid cheesecake.

                          1) I have more energy to keep up with my grandson's!
                          (I played freeze tag first time since childhood)

                          2) I sleep much better and wake feeling more refreshed than ever before.
                          (No more aches in my back and feet)

                          3) I think my skin is tightening! And my afternoon sleepy's are gone! And my concentration is much better.

                          Sorry...that was more than 3! :nod

                            I made my goal last week with lots of cardio, and 3x of weight lifting. Still pretty sore as I worked out pretty hard last night with Laura. I am working pretty hard to meet my APFT goals, but the run is hardest to get up for. My plan is to do the same for this coming week.

                              I'm a little late reporting in, but I did exercise.

                              Friday - Walked Dogs
                              Saturday - helped DH with removal of old fence. Lots of hammer action and pulling of weeds
                              Sunday - helped DH with spreading gravel - I drove the bobcat and raked


                              This week:
                              I will walk the dogs 3 times or do equivalent yard work
