October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Nope. She's a higher belt than me and she hit me first. She should have had more control so it was clearly intentional. I just gave it back. Worse.

Sounds like you should be a higher belt than her! I'm a little jealous - there aren't many situations where it's acceptable to actually hit the person you don't like!

; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

You might be surprised in the next couple of weeks how your body responds. I say stick with both.

Hi Chelenka. Funny you mention the Cardiologist. I was just in his office today and he gave me clearance. The EKG and Stress Test were fine. My main issue is body aches and muscle spasms post exercise. Anyone with something similar? VSG Pre Op

Lynette: make sure you are drinking enough Water pre, during, and post-workout, and stretch out pre and post workout. Also, getting in your Calcium and magnesium helps with avoiding cramping. I use a topical pain reliever called Sombra on sore muscles and knees, back, wherever, that you can buy on Amazon. A lot less stinky than Ben Gay. Also an Epsom salts bath helps or if that's not an option for you I understand there is an Epsom salts cream that you can get at Walmart. I haven't tried that yet but my massage therapist likes it.

1.1 miles yesterday, for a total of 2.4. A lot slower than most folks on here, but I'm movin'! Trying out the bike this weekend, so hopefully I can put on some miles that way.

Also up to 200 squats for my Squatober challenge; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

The bike will definitely help you get the mileage in and it's good to change up your exercise routine. I do the stationary bike at home and every five minutes I increase the resistance and I lift my butt off the seat for one-minute intervals. I'm not a runner so it would be very hard for me to get in the 125 miles (my personal goal) this month! What is the squatober challenge? I'm intrigued..is it 200 squats/day? I need to do something like that!

Well this is my first day back at the gym in about one and and a half years! I must say I surprised myself I did a 1 mile fast walk and 3.26 miles on the bike for a total of 4.26 miles. Feeling frisky ; 0)

My husband is asking the same thing. He said his stomach was sore from jostling around. Unfortunately my boobs aren't big enough to bother me. I'm almost but not quite sad about that!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
