I have to admit, I had a lazy day today. It has been one of those weeks at work. I only got in 1.82 miles today which puts me at 119 miles even. My goal is to break 125 by Sunday night.

+ 5 miles today

Warmup : 1 mile jog, handstand push-ups, pull-ups, burpees, air squats and cart wheels. Mobility work for about 30 min.

First workout : 3 rounds of 400 m, 20 pull-ups, 15 push-ups, 10 thrusters and 5 back squats

2nd workout: 3 rounds of 1600 m, 50 back extensions, 50 GHD sit-ups. Completed this workout in 19:50 m. Was a really huge push of effort and fastest by 4 min for box.

Also worked on double under skill today on my own. This is where jump rope passes under you 2x per jump. Harder then you might think.

Nothing is funnier then watching a grown man do his first set of cartwheels. Lol. It really made me wonder how younger gymnastic girls make it look so easy. Now I have yet another exercise skill to work on. :) there is so much skill to master in cross fit!! I need 48 hours a day!

I'm doing The Color Run 5K in the morning' date=' my first 5K since surgery. I took a tumble this week down my stairs and broke my wrist. I really thought I wouldn't be able to do this run but I'm not as sore as I thought I would be so I'm gonna try even if I have to walk some of it. Wish me luck.[/quote']

You go, Girl! Run on! Just don't push if you feel your body telling you not to during the race.

Added + 3.5 miles this morning. Lost count of total.

Warmup: 1 mile jog and ring of fire

Workout is called "Helen and Jackie" today. Two back to back actually.

Workout 1: 3 rounds of- 800 m run, 21 kb swings and 12 pull-ups

Workout 2: 1600 m row , 50 thrusters @ 95 lb, 50 pull-ups

Ring of fire is where group sits in a circle and we alternate between 10 s hollow hold and 10 s ab exercise (each person picks 1). Nice "burning" sensation in the abs after this one. pull ups really toasted my arms. Runs are fun and fast as usual. I am weird to consistently like running every day hard and fast (race mode). Most find it their least enjoyable part of the workouts.

I am at 91.8 miles. It is getting ready to rain today. I know I will get my miles in before the end of the month.

October will be a challenge for me to complete 100 miles. Between work and this thing called "sleeve surgery", it will be a shortened month for me. My last day to exercise for a lengthy period of time will be 10/23. I am going to see the Eagles in concert on 10/24 and go the hospital at 5 a.m on 10/25 for surgery. I have four evening deployments which will prevent me from exercising on those evenings. I will do my best in October.

I am totally in for October! To save me 33 pages of reading, can you sum up the procedure here? Run? Walk? Elliptical? Daily check in?

I've done 15 miles in the last two days and it's felt so good. I'm ready!

Lipstick Lady,

Glad you want to join. The people participating have been involved in many physical activities. Some people have ridden bikes, walked, ran, and combined other activities. You do not have to check in daily unless you want to. People report their miles on the forum. Some people use apps to track their info. The main purpose was to get people more active than they had been previously. This forum was 100% successful in accomplishing its purpose. It was a lot of fun. I can't wait for October either, but need to finish my miles for September.

Has anyone started a new topic for October yet?

      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.
