October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

20 mile MTB ride today. Think my total is up around 90 some miles this month. Not great, day care issues have held me back. I am also not keeping track of my gym routine and ARC cardio work.

14 miles today plus the 4 I did yesterday, bring me to 61 for the month. I'm sure I'll hop on the bike again later today since I'm home all weekend with no plans, might as well exercise!

Hello everyone, I have been missing a few days, but have been getting in a few miles. 2 miles Thursday, 2 miles Friday and 3.5 today and my total is up to 23.75 miles. I had rather walk than ride a bike...so maybe later I will get on the darn thing and ride anyways! I also did jumping jacks for the first time in like forever. I thought those first 10 were gonna kill me...not. I did 3 sets of 10 on Thursday and yesterday I did 3 sets of 15 and it was a lot easier the second day. So I am gonna try for 3 sets of 20 later today.

2.8 miles today, all while walking from station to station in the clay shooting tournament. I didn't shoot worth and &%$# but had a lot of fun. 125 shots later I ended up with a numb right shoulder that I can barely move with a bruise the size of a softball and won a free airboat bow fishing trip. I can shoot a bow and I have fished many times....just never at the same time while on an airboat. This should be interesting.

Any who...my total for the month stands at 47.94 miles so far. Great job on your totals everyone!

Well today was supposed to be a rest day but it turned out to be a restless day instead. Literally and figuratively. I could NOT sit still. So I went on two slow walks and managed to log in 2.4 miles despite the flare up. Having to force myself to not overdo it. So 24 miles now.

Total today is 25 miles.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
