October 60 Mile Walk Challenge



Recommended Posts

Joan: I say you should modify it any way you want--the ultimate goal is motivation and movement, right? I'm going to be doing my 60 miles on the elliptical to minimize the impact on my knees, and I want my 60 miles to be above and beyond my daily activity, but that's MY plan. I think yours should be what you want it to be! :D

I agree the idea is to motivate everyone to get moving... :)

This is just what I need. Exercise really needs to become a priority or this band is going to become another failed attempt :(

I'm so in. This will be my first month for a challenge!! I'm 3 days behind but I'm sure I'll catch up. I'm going to try to get my roommates who are not banded, to walk with me too. :-)

4 miles down so far! I'm so excited :D I bought a new pair of shoes with the Nike insert thing, and used it this morning. Works awesome and is a great motivator with the voice prompts and whatnot.

Shooting for 3 more miles tomorrow on a new trail I just found. Can't wait!

Great job so far everyone, keep up the pace!

I have intentionally gone for walks each day for 2 miles per day. Sometimes I will park extra far at a shopping center or I'll walk up and down every single aisle at Sam's Club or costco. Also at work sometimes I will walk the extra long way around the school building or walk to the farthest bathroom. I have ordered a new pedometer that should arrive soon. It is the kind you carry anywhere on you, a pocket, purse... I hate the kind that is clipped to your waistband! They always fall off on me or reset themselves.

Happy walking!

Joan

Does zumba count toward miles? And if it does, how many miles is an hour of zumba worth? :blink:

If you can figure the number of steps you take during Zumba, I say count it :) Maybe you should try wearing a Pedometer during Zumba to count the distance.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
