February 2014 Fitness Challeng



Recommended Posts

I'm a little sore after the last couple of days exploring San Francisco ON FOOT! We come here every year and usually take cabs or public transportation. Not this time - I've only taken the cable car twice in 9 days and no cabs.

I've had two days of 16,000+ steps - back to back days. I'm a little sore today, but feel great. What a great sense of accomplishment when you get to the top of a 2-block climb and look back and say, "Yeah, I kicked that hill's a$$!"

My goal was to have every day over 10,000 steps, but missed on day, I was short 1100 steps. My two days over 16,000 make up for that though. That's my justification. :-) Next week starts the real work - need to start with the weights. I've been avoiding that for some reason....

Shingles, ouch. Sorry. Hope you are feeling better.

I have gotten in another 7 miles. This weekend is supposed to be warmer so hoping to get out and ride my bike. I need bike miles and definitely prefer outdoor riding as to a stationary bike. Think warm and sun shine.

How is everyone doing with their challenge? I am at 30 miles of walking and 32 with riding. My original goal was 50 walking and 75 riding. I have 20 miles to walk and 43 to ride. I plan on riding again today. We have had a couple days of great weather. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and then turn cold. The remainder of my riding miles will most likely be inside.

      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.
