100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok, had a rest day today, only got in 3.24, mowing the lawn between floods and shovelling hail away from my doors. My total so far 65.74, my poor muscle in my right thigh is killing me, I hope I haven't messed it up. Probably won't do much tomorrow just stretching. Great job everyone!

Aww' date=' come on! Y'all trying to make us look COMPLETELY bad?! :)[/quote']

No, not at all. Fitness is just something I picked after losing the weight. I am no athlete in the traditional sense, but am a strong believer in dedication, discipline, believing in myself and not setting limits. I have found that believing you can do something is 90% of the way to achieving a goal. Happy fitness everyone. :)

Another rest day today and back at it tomorrow. This next week I am going for the 3 day on 1 day off approach. 5 days in a row of the type of exercise I did this last week is too tiring. And 2 days rest in a row (weekend) is probably not the best for training.

Well, I accomplished my goal this weekend of making 50 miles by Sunday night. I walked for 1.52 miles and rode the recumbent bike for 5.12 miles which put me at 6.64 miles today and a total so far of 51.6 miles. Feeling great!! I go Wednesday for my 1 month post op visit.

Ya'll are all on pace to make the 100 miles. Way to go guys and gals.

My toe is somewhat better today. It's gone from deep purple to plum. I'm hoping by Tuesday it will be a nice lavender. My running ability has gone from impossible to improbable. I need it to be slightly better before I get back on it. I'm hoping by Tuesday.

Monday is my last work day...then I'll be on vacation for the rest of the month...right up until surgery on the 30th. I was hoping to spend that time trail running, soaking in the jacuzzi and napping....with the occasional piece of pecan pie thrown in for good measure. Yeah...that's my moderation y'all. But looks like I'll have to take a cardiac stress test next week to get clearance for my surgery. My resting HR is so low they're a little suspicious of it. Funny...I always hated going to the doctors office when I was obese because I felt suspect.....now that I'm in good shape, I'm still suspect.

I did 5.19 miles today, and my total is 55.87 miles. I need to average 3 miles a day until September 30th, and I'll hit the century mark.

      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.
