100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

A short 2 miles today split up into sprinting segments of 800 m. Felt like road runner. :) total: 97.5.

The sprints were in between pull ups, double unders and kettle bell sets. A good met-con. :)

Hey BTB- how in the world are you running with a broken toe? A few posts (or pages) back you stated you had 2 more runs to do this week. Crazy!

Hey. Well I did my stress test yesterday at the cardiologists office. That's the first time I've ran on a treadmill in years. By the end he had that incline cranked all the way up but I was determined not to quit. I ran at 170 bpm heart rste for 3-4 minutes before he shut it down. No toe pain really.

So this morning I did 4 miles doing overpass repeats getting ready for a 10K this weekend. So for me, that's day 19...76.1 miles.

Those 3 days off killed a nice roll I was on but I'll make it up before the 30th.

Hey, All Challenge Peeps! I woke thinking of this. I'll bet many of you (US!) didn't realize how active you have become since you probably didn't track it. Granted we've stepped up our game, but in The long haul, think of what true transformation has taken place in our lives through VSG, Change of diet and plain ole exercise!! hard work pays off!!!

Ok - good job at setting an example of pushing through adversity to achieve a goal. It is admirable.

I soooooo did not want to do anything today after my crazy work-day yesterday but I got my butt into the gym and rode 6 miles on the stationary bike, 1 mile on the elliptical and did 40 minutes of strength training bringing my milage to 64.6. I think if it weren't for this challenge I wouldn't have pushed myself. Thanks Butter!

Today I walked 2.28 miles and just finished a 3.04 mile ride on my bike in the garage. I stopped because my knee that I had surgery on last year for a torn meniscus started bothering me. I had to listen to it and stop. No biggee, just needed a break. That put me at 5.32 miles today and a total of 66.4 miles for the month. Great job everyone! Keep it up!

      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.
