October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Have you guys thought of creating a beginner's thread with a 50 mile threshold? I don't know if it would be redundant or motivating? I can imagine a few people out there wouldn't want to sign up for 100 right away, but 50 is easier to contemplate for someone who hasn't been active for a long time.

Thoughts?

It's just for motivation anyway! I never thought I would seriously be able to do 100 miles last month. My average was about 1-2 miles a couple to three times a week!!!! So.....

I say, just join in - kick it into gear - and do what you can! Nobody on here cares if it's called "100 mile" challenge! We are all just doing what we can!

If you do 50, that's 50 you didn't do last month!

True! and besides, this is my new mantra these days.

I do love it . Except I don't know if it necessarily calculates my strides 100% because I'm so tall . It's nice because I have the app on my phone I can track food ' date=' fluids , my weight , set goals for myself . I don't want something where I'm going to have to document my life in it if you know what I mean.[/quote']

Yes, I do know what you mean... I log my diet and workouts thru mfp. I watched the video on fitbit and was so intrigued!

Howdy and welcome. You don't need MFP for this. Just come to this thread and post your daily mileage. Keep your running total. Set your goal and go for it. We all root for each other.

Ok I've only got about 1 mile in to day but I caught somebody's stomach bug and have been sick of 2 days. But I got approved today so I'm so excited waiting for date to be set.

Just got home a little while ago. Feel fine as long as I don't move too much. Not sure how much of that is related to these pain meds but I'll take it. If this is as bad as it gets I'll be ok. Worst part is I'm already bored.

Damn....edited to say...thanks very much for asking.

      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.
