100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

No but I might kick you in the buttocks with them.

I used to wear 15's before I lost the weight. The Zem Gear guy gave me these shoes for free because he saw me running in my five finger shoes. They were selling their stuff at the race Saturday. He saw me and asked me if I was interested in trying something other than the vibrams. I said yes but he didn't have my size so he told me he'd ship me a pair for free if I'd pen a little review of them. Heck yeah! I'm fairly stoked about getting free running shoes.

Heres the action shot...

And I can't see any excess skin either!!!

I've been wanting a pair of those. I've got the merrell road gloves which are almost the same exact shoe. Good choice on the NB.

7 miles today gives me a total of 60 after 12 days. I did start 2 days early I believe.

Ran in my new running shoes today. These are even more minimal than the vibrams. These are Zem Gear Terra Ninjas. And yes' date=' that is a size 14 shoe rolled up in my hand. These are not for tenderfeet.

You could save some money and just run barefoot. Lol.

I am going to get me a pair of reebok cross fit nano shoes the next time my shoe budget materializes. If it materializes... Note: wife can have 100 pair of shoes, but it is like pulling teeth to go buy a pair for me. :)

Oh and +4 miles today for 76. 9th day of running. As alluded to at the beginning of this thread, I found it hard to sustain 10 miles of running a day and an hour of cross fit. I will try for 5 miles a day outside of daily cross fit (which killed me today in a HIIT way. :) ). In the strength portion I did PR +40 lb @ 390 today for 3-2-1 back squat sets. I grunted like a beast getting out of the deep squat @ max.

3.85 miles today. That puts me at 25 miles so. I love my Fitbit Flex. Tomorrow I go back to riding in the morning as well. It is time to push it!

I walked all over town, took 22 flights of stairs and still that tyrant of a fitbit said I didn't reach my goals. Hmph! So I got the rebounder out and pwned that fitbit lol.

Btb, I haven't tried running in the Merrell gloves at all, but I love them for my (very fast) walk to the gym and for doing my workout. My husband has several pair of five fingers and wears them for lots of things, tho he's also not a frequent runner. He loves them. I already ordered a new pair of merrells to get in the US. :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
