October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

+5.1 miles on bike = 15.7 Leaving on a 4-day biz trip today not sure what I'll be able to log during the next few days.

+1.8 miles in airport shenanigans = 17.5 miles.

Here's a lesson in how to do that, boys and girls. Arrive Miami airport after practically running through Jacksonville airport. Deplane gate d60 and decide to walk to d24. Yay. Walk walk walk, watch the sky train go by 4 stations you passed on. get to d24. Receive text saying gate changed to d27. Walk. Receive text saying gate d11. Give up and decide this is a good time for dinner. So I could possibly add another half mile still :)

Then again my dinner is salami, ham, proscuitto and olives! In an airport. I'm happy.

Love to see all these miles (and porch swinging... and hot suit walking) adding up! I didn't rack up anything today.. LOTS of rain and wind. I'm falling behind!!! Going to add a short AM ride tomorrow to try to start catching up. Going to shoot for 15 miles tomorrow!

I am at 16.8 miles total. Not as far as I had hoped. I have 17 days left for serious workouts. Of those 17 remaining calendar days, 13 are realistic due to evening work and my last date night prior to surgery.

I am not gonna lie. Just didn't want to today. I did a really dumb thing Sat and suffering for it now. Decided to change out my bedding so I lifted my tempurpedic king mattress up and held it up with my head and shoulders while I put on a new bed skirt. I knew immediately after letting it down I had screwed up. (C5/6 bulging discs in neck). SOOO, now I can't turn my head sideways or up and Down without pain. Tins unit, flex aril and meloxacam are my friends right now.

Only 1.1 mile in today. :(. Total 24.7.

Oh no! That is a major bummer. Take it easy and feel better quick! You might need to join Butter on the porch with a quilt of your own.

Oh and didi I mention I did this in heels with a 25 lb backpack on my shoulders? And dragging a suitcase behind me? Mwahahaha!

(Sorry it just made me really happy to be able to do it. And my heels weren't outrageous but still!)

      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!!

      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... :(
