October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

+5.1 miles on bike = 15.7 Leaving on a 4-day biz trip today not sure what I'll be able to log during the next few days.

+1.8 miles in airport shenanigans = 17.5 miles.

Here's a lesson in how to do that, boys and girls. Arrive Miami airport after practically running through Jacksonville airport. Deplane gate d60 and decide to walk to d24. Yay. Walk walk walk, watch the sky train go by 4 stations you passed on. get to d24. Receive text saying gate changed to d27. Walk. Receive text saying gate d11. Give up and decide this is a good time for dinner. So I could possibly add another half mile still :)

Then again my dinner is salami, ham, proscuitto and olives! In an airport. I'm happy.

Love to see all these miles (and porch swinging... and hot suit walking) adding up! I didn't rack up anything today.. LOTS of rain and wind. I'm falling behind!!! Going to add a short AM ride tomorrow to try to start catching up. Going to shoot for 15 miles tomorrow!

I am at 16.8 miles total. Not as far as I had hoped. I have 17 days left for serious workouts. Of those 17 remaining calendar days, 13 are realistic due to evening work and my last date night prior to surgery.

I am not gonna lie. Just didn't want to today. I did a really dumb thing Sat and suffering for it now. Decided to change out my bedding so I lifted my tempurpedic king mattress up and held it up with my head and shoulders while I put on a new bed skirt. I knew immediately after letting it down I had screwed up. (C5/6 bulging discs in neck). SOOO, now I can't turn my head sideways or up and Down without pain. Tins unit, flex aril and meloxacam are my friends right now.

Only 1.1 mile in today. :(. Total 24.7.

Oh no! That is a major bummer. Take it easy and feel better quick! You might need to join Butter on the porch with a quilt of your own.

(Sorry it just made me really happy to be able to do it. And my heels weren't outrageous but still!)

      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.
