October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Nope. She's a higher belt than me and she hit me first. She should have had more control so it was clearly intentional. I just gave it back. Worse.

Sounds like you should be a higher belt than her! I'm a little jealous - there aren't many situations where it's acceptable to actually hit the person you don't like!

; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

You might be surprised in the next couple of weeks how your body responds. I say stick with both.

Hi Chelenka. Funny you mention the Cardiologist. I was just in his office today and he gave me clearance. The EKG and Stress Test were fine. My main issue is body aches and muscle spasms post exercise. Anyone with something similar? VSG Pre Op

Lynette: make sure you are drinking enough Water pre, during, and post-workout, and stretch out pre and post workout. Also, getting in your Calcium and magnesium helps with avoiding cramping. I use a topical pain reliever called Sombra on sore muscles and knees, back, wherever, that you can buy on Amazon. A lot less stinky than Ben Gay. Also an Epsom salts bath helps or if that's not an option for you I understand there is an Epsom salts cream that you can get at Walmart. I haven't tried that yet but my massage therapist likes it.

1.1 miles yesterday, for a total of 2.4. A lot slower than most folks on here, but I'm movin'! Trying out the bike this weekend, so hopefully I can put on some miles that way.

Also up to 200 squats for my Squatober challenge; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

The bike will definitely help you get the mileage in and it's good to change up your exercise routine. I do the stationary bike at home and every five minutes I increase the resistance and I lift my butt off the seat for one-minute intervals. I'm not a runner so it would be very hard for me to get in the 125 miles (my personal goal) this month! What is the squatober challenge? I'm intrigued..is it 200 squats/day? I need to do something like that!

Well this is my first day back at the gym in about one and and a half years! I must say I surprised myself I did a 1 mile fast walk and 3.26 miles on the bike for a total of 4.26 miles. Feeling frisky ; 0)

My husband is asking the same thing. He said his stomach was sore from jostling around. Unfortunately my boobs aren't big enough to bother me. I'm almost but not quite sad about that!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
