100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

It works. I think the key for me is keeping workouts between 30-60 min' date=' no longer, including warmup, cool down and stretching. I have on average 3 hours an evening to spend with my wife, less if I have dead lines to crunch through at work. I do try and get quality sleep at night so essentially retire at 9:30 pm and am up at 5:30 am to do a quick run and then start work at 6am. I workout mid morning and mid afternoon usually. Work is usually done by 6 pm for the day. Run after dinner is new, but I am going to try it for 30 min.[/quote']

So you are working out morning, mid morn and mid afternoon. Wowzers. I'm assuming from that you are your own boss!!!!! :)

Well, doesn't look like I am gonna get to much walking in today. I have had the headache from hell all day. I didn't walk the warehouse at lunch as planned. I plan on jumping on the treadmill for a little while tonight but also plan on crashing early. That just means more to do tomorrow but never giving up! Great job everone on your numbers the last few days. Very impressive. I can't wait to get back to full strength so I can get my numbers up there. Best news is, I get my staples removed tomorrow and move to the pureed stage...real food! I am so tired if sweet shakes. I will still have 3 or 4 small shakes to get my Protein but so glad to also have real food again. Remember, drink drink drink your liquids!

I'm with Laura-v on this one....I didn't start exercise of any kind until nearly 4 weeks after my surgery and it was done laparoscopically! I think you're doing amazing.

Ok' date=' Laura-Ven! LMAO. All that time for a response - I post it - and you got your answer in the meantime. Sheesh. ;)[/quote']

Lol! Well I know that you and fiddle should start your own challenge! You guys can do a 100 in 2 days!! :P

Maybe we should start a thread for 500?

The rest of us poor souls are going to suffer for that 100 :D

Except butter of course we all know he can.

Right butter? Out with the old in with the new :)

      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.
