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.

      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.
