October 100 Mile Challange!

Hahahaha. "Lady' date=' step away from the Quest bars!"[/quote']

I think I may be addicted! They digest so much easier than real food...plus there is no cooking involved, which means no dirty pots or pans to clean up. Just one small wrapper to dispose of! LOL

Yes I commute to Austin, Tx on a weekly basis. I'm home on the weekends. We could meet for a nice ride sometime.

That would be awesome, hopefully we will still get to experience fall... But who knows in Colorado!

Maybe we can figure out a date/time to meet up. I know that long-distance commuting is hard...hubby did it for 2 years, we only saw him on weekends. :( Now he works primarily from home ...lol not sure which is worse. :P

So I was supposed to take it "easy" this weekend but I ended up mowing the lawn (we have quite a large lawn, actual mowing time..not including triming, etc...is like an hour.) Hubby is quite allergic to the lawn (lucky me!) so rather than hear him wheeze and act like he is on his deathbed I took over the mowing duties years ago. Anyway, I have one more day of "rest" before my weight class tomorrow. Oh and I don't have a fitbit or anything to keep track, so the lawn mowing isn't going into this challenge...LOL!

I want a category for braving Florida in a suit and heels. Sweating like a construction worker. Surely I'm burning some calories?

Is there a category for sitting on the back porch swing ....wrapped in a quilt....drinking a cup of coffee and watching the leaves fall? I'm in that one at the moment.

Ok..so this weekend was a bust for me! i was excited to get in a lot of miles but it didn't quite work out that way...I felt blahhh! I only got in 4 miles on Saturday. I took a super quick walk with my dog (.5 mile) and rode my bike for 3.5 miles. My total so far is 20 miles. I have to get in at least 11 miles by tomorrow to be on target for my goal...So, I intend to bust my butt! Everyone is doing so well...I'm so glad I found this thread...

Yes that's the "I'm really good at rubbing salt in the wounds" award.

Good for you. Relax and enjoy.

      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.
