100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

WHEW! I did it...broke the 10 miles mark today for the first time and I am whipped! I did a 2.56 mile ride this morning, walked 3.41 miles today as well and I just finished a 20 minute 5.4 mile ride on the recumbent bike. That put me at 11.37 miles for today and a grand total of 80.5 miles. I have to admit, I am amazed at myself and where I have come from to now. This challenge is awesome and exactly what I need! Thank you BTB and everyone else for the motivation!

Great. Welcome aboard. Good luck on making that 50 miles. That extra push of fitness now will pay off in a better recovery later.

Update: mowed my lawn tonight for an extra 2 mile of walking. 1/2 acre - I think that distance is about right according to this link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090605065701AAM0eaM

Gotta rake in the miles from any activity. :)

+2 for 112.5 total.

Sorry was flying yesterday... Total with yesterday and today, 81 miles! Woot!woot! Also an NSV... While I was waiting on my mom to land, I parked and went into the airport and walked around baggage claim, I had around 45 minutes, did over three miles, and as I was walking, I had to control myself because my body wanted to run....WANTED TO RUN !? what? I had to give myself a mental pat on the back... It was awesome!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
