mmmmm...beer 691 Posted September 30, 2019 Okay my friends. I have a challenge for you. Tomorrow is the first day of October. Tomorrow morning, October 1st, weigh in on your home scale. Then for the month of October, at least 5+ days a week do something physical for at least 20 minutes. Whether that be walking, running, biking, weights, anything physical fitness related. If you want to do more than 5 days a week or longer than 20 minutes, do it. But it has to be at least 5 days and at least 20 minutes, no averaging. Let's give it a real go and push ourselves! Do NOT weigh yourself the entire month. Only on October 31st, step back on your home scale. As far as diet, do whatever you want. I will be going back strictly keto, but thats totally up to you. Do what feels right for you. Join me in this upcoming month to really challenge yourself. We can totally start the fall off right, by making good choices and creating good habits! Who knows... maybe 30, turns into 60, turns into all of us looking and feeling great for the New Year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted September 30, 2019 I hopped on a scale the other day because I was zip-lining. I was not happy with the number I saw. I will give this a shot. Speaking of which - we can still drink. Right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,702 Posted September 30, 2019 Good timing, thinking about doing the Sober October deal.. I work out 3 days a week and my weight is decent, I could drop a few but, nothing drastic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so is it a challenge for you to do that or is it easy? You want to do is something that can challenge you for that physical activity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Beer's facebook sounding challenge, I already work out about 5 days per week on average and weigh myself every day which I'm not going to change. I also eat mostly low carb, except when I don't. I guess I need to decide on the drinking thing to make this interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,518 Posted October 1, 2019 alright, apparently since my incident and not travelling as much as I have the last 4 months, I went from 222 to 238, so my goal is to get back to that in October Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
