Must be crazy- 60 miles



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I just signed up for the Beast cancer 3-day walk. I can't believe it 3-days 20 miles per day is this insane?? I occasionally work out but this is going to be a challenge. I could really use your words of encouragement especially as I begin my training.

Thanks.

(By the way my ticker is probably way off. My current wt. is 165 lbs.)

That is great! I had a coworker who did that last year. She said it was tough but she had a great time. She also lost a lot of weight training for it. Good luck, you will do great!

Good Luck!! I am doing the Avon two day walk in Boston on May 17th and 18th. Walking everyday has really helped with the weight loss. It is so easy to drink all the Water that I am supposed to.

Yep, insane, lol! I just ran 10 miles this morning in a fun run and right now I feel like I've had my knee cartilage sucked out through a straw, my spine compressed and my hips filled with ground glass!

But good luck! The physical agony (and probaby premature aging) is well worth the feeling of accomplishment.

I'm doing the 3-day in Washington DC, October 3-5. I have always wanted to do it but knew that I couldn't before because of my weight. After dropping 90 pounds so far, I think I can make it. I'm very excited about it and I have even formed a team. Good luck to you with your training and the walk. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I want to do this too... but scared that it will be 'too much' for me and I'll be unable to finish! There isn't one in my city anyway... so I'd have to travel...

      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.

      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!!
