December 60 Mile Walk Challenge



Recommended Posts

I went ahead and started a thread for December so we can get going! I like checking in here, posting and keeping myself accountable, as well as reading how everyone else is doing with their exercise challenge.

Good luck everyone! I know it's going to be a real challenge to exercise every day, with so many things to do before Christmas.

Logging my shopping and cleaning steps may be the only way I hit my goal this month! I literally ran out of my slippers twice yesterday, running around the house trying to get things done. I don't log that stuff but I might have to.

Hey! I've been adding my miles up, but haven't responded here. I started training for a marathon, so this will be the first month I actually reach my goal of 60. Looks like I will even be way beyond it!

Jessica, that's awesome! When is the marathon?

I am doing a 50-mile hike with my son over a weekend in March (for Boy Scouts). Starting in January I want to start building up my endurance. I think I will start walking outside, because I could die of boredom if I try to do more than 6 or 7 miles on the treadmill. We have a park track that is about 1 mile long, so going around that 7 times seems way more interesting. Good thing I live in Texas where it doesn't get TOO cold. I just hope I'm still saying that in January!

I hadn't walked in a week until I finally did 4 miles today. My knees were starting to hurt from disuse.

How's everyone else doing?

The marathon is May 6, 6 days after my 30th birthday! I did my first half marathon on my 24th birthday. I am in much better shape already, so I'm excited to see how I do as I continue to train.

      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.
