100 miles in 100 days fitness challenge



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a fitness challenge to complete 100 miles in 100 days. I've done one in the past and it helps keep you accountable for exercising. The one that I did in the past used twenty minutes of any exercise equaled a mile or actual walking or running distance.

Though anyone interested could start on Monday Sept 11th which would go through to Dec 20th. Maybe post weekly totals and I will come up with a spreadsheet.

I would love to do this too. I am just starting out on my exercise as I have been so overweight it has been very difficult. But something like this is a perfect way for me to get moving and so count me in :447_mountain_bicyclist:

So should we report our weekly totals on say, Saturdays?

If it starts on Monday, then we should report on Sunday or Monday. The other option is Friday since @dashofpixiedustdoes a weigh-in challenge on Fridays.

You are right Sunday reporting makes more sense.

Count me in! I've been slacking on exercise for the past couple of weeks now that sports teams have taken over the football field where I've been running. I have a backup, a workout room at work, but the change in routine has not gone as smoothly as I thought it would.

Sunday reporting works for me. I tend to swim laps. I haven't decided to use the twenty minutes a mile or my actual mileage. It takes an hour and fifteen minutes for me to swim a mile and a half.

Maybe we can have something for the swimmers? I can swim a mile but yes it is going to take less than an hour. I can 13-14 laps in 20 min, depending on what you want me to swim.

I would have a problem starting it because I have a meet next Saturday so no mile every day for me right now. I'm doing more sprint stuff, will back to normal mid distance after that.

I also would have an issue with a few things because I swim competitively and do meets.

I would think 20 minutes of swimming would just count as 1 mile.

I normally don't do these things, but I need this one. I'll join the challenge. 😊

      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.
