October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Every mile I see posted is such a great motivation. No matter the totals, every mile is one mile better than sitting on the couch. LOVE these challenges. I really do not like exercise, I always found it boring and had to force myself. I was motivated to buy a bike last month after the September 100 mile challenge started and my bike arrived mid way through. I never believed it would be something I would enjoy so much. I look forward to it, and am counting the days to daylight savings time so it stays lighter a bit longer for me to get my rides in after work. You are ALL a huge inspiration!!

I added 7.2 miles last night for a total of 121.76.

You are doing so well! People like you and so many others on this challenge make it worthwhile to commit to this. Keep up the good work. I also have an exercise bike and I absolutely love it! I like to walk and hike as well. But, the walking and hiking depend on the weather. I can ride my bike at any time. You have to do whatever works for you!

So in honor of my 3 year anniversary of the sleeve I went to women & weights and did a 1 hour lifting workout, followed by my beloved spin class BUT I was sporting these bad boys:

MY NEW SPIN SHOES!!!

They have the little clip on them so I'm "locked" in when I spin. LOVE THEM!

They were expensive but a MUCH MUCH MUCH better reward than cake:

Sorry to be a downer, but daylight savings time ends on Nov 3. It will be darker when you get off work. Time to start getting up early!

i lost my fitbit somewhere in the cave/ocean/hike/pool/ferry/hotel. But beore that, I had 3.5 miles on it and that doesn't count the hour long HIKE into the cave nor the 30 mins of swimming.

Edit: That puts me at 50.2 miles. I should be really excited today because of what I accomplished but I lost two pitches and lost my new fitbit and it's being kinda sh@tty considering I'm on vacation and all this bad news is piling up so I'm sulking. I will go sulk and then I will come back and Celebrate that i freaking hiked a cave today!

Too bad about the fitbit. I have become quite attached to mine.

If you had stuck with cake hiking, you'd still have your fitbit.

      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.
