From Los Angeles, CA To Las Vegas, NV - 265 Mile Challenge!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

So... I have found this to be a really REALLY motivating way to keep me moving! That is posting a challenge to my forhead on how many miles to complete in one months time. My current challenge was a try out for me, and in October I challenged myself to 10 Miles per day and 6 days per week.

Now I can log these miles in all kinds of different ways... I can walk them, I can jog them, run them - use the elliptical to click them away and even do them on my stationary cycle machine. Any way I can get them, I mark them down!

I have to tell you, since I've started this lots of people are commenting on my physical self again. They keep telling me I look much much thinner though in reality my body weight is only down about 5 Lbs in the last 6 weeks, which is perfectly fine. I'm not trying to lose weight on the scale, I'm only trying to get more fit and get my body FAT % down to 29. I'm currently at 33.5% - so not much more to go! :)

For anyone who does not know this, I had a breast augmentation on August 25th and it added 6 extra Lbs of body weight to me. I was 179.8 Lbs on that day. Today I weigh in 181 Lbs, so I've pretty much worked all that new weight off... and soon I'll lose more from my 2 liposuction sessions... anyway, just wanted to clarify what I meant regarding my scale weight...

I encourage anyone and everyone to join in! If not that's fine... I'll still do mine's... ;) And I am in perfect harmony with completing my MILE challenge for October, even though I have not updated my ticker in the last 4 days.

So, for next Month of November - I will be travelling from Los Angeles, CA to Las Vegas, NV... which is 265 Miles... OHHH YEAHHH!!! If I can't make this trip in real life, might as well get SUPER FIT doing the miles in other ways!!!

      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.
