October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

What a day! Went to Dallas last night with the wife. We had to pick up her mom at the Dallas Airport today. That place is a zoo! We walked the entire Grapevine Mills Mall as well as a lot of walking around in the airport due to her mom's 2 hour delayed plane. We walked a total of 4.9 miles today. My wife did great! She is well on her way after her surgery. I am extremely proud of her!

That puts my total for the month at 92.60 miles! 11 days to go...No problem for another 38 miles.

3.0 miles walked today. The wife and I went and knocked out a little Christmas shopping. She took the new profile picture for me. We even picked up a little early Christmas present for her....a Fitbit Flex. No we are both tracking mileage!

So, that puts my total at 95.6 miles for the month. I should break 100 tomorrow easily!

my total is 40.25 so far. I know I am lagging behind. Been fighting fatigue the last week. My night shift and little sleep kicked my back side. I am happy that our park and lakes are back open so hope to pick up my mileage.

Another 2.1 today puts me at 42.4.

well my big achievement today was that I napped like a champion! All two hours between 11 and 1. Is there a challenge for that? One measly mile today for a 43.4

Wow! You're giving your new bike quite the workout! Good for you. It's all about starting out treating that b/tch the way you mean to go on! Don't let her get complacent. :P

Seriously that's very cool and it's not easy to do so good for you.

Hi everyone, I have logged another 14.8 miles which puts me at 47.2 miles. I will get my 50 miles in by Thursday. Surgery is on Friday so don't expect to get much more in for the remainder of the month.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
