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.

LOL...I was gonna say the same thing.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
