October 2009 Mile Challenge



Recommended Posts

Week 1= 19.9 miles

I've been sick for three weeks--this week I did exercise but not as much as usual--I've just got to get better! I think my body's worn out. I'm still losing weight anyway, so at least that's something. I miss exercising, though--who would've thunk it?! Must...get...better...

Hi Willowcat. I'm sorry to hear that you've been sick. Once the kids get sick its only a matter of time before the teacher is sick. We are battling swine flu here. So far, I have been very fortunate not to get it. I do not even have the sniffles. Last week 7 out of 21 of my students were out sick. Not all of them had swine flu. Most just had the regular flu.

I know exactly what you mean about missing it when you can't exercise. I feel so bad when I can't get my workout in.

Congratulations on the weight loss! I'm really happy for you. :sad:

Hope you feel better soon.

Week 2: 22.7 miles

I'm finally on the mend! The last two days I've been able to exercise my full 30 minutes and 6 miles! Yeah! Feels so good to get my heart rate up, to start breathing heavier, and to start sweating! :scared2:

I've been feeling very tired the past few days, so haven't gotten out to walk. I was hoping to make it up this weekend, but they're predicting a Noreaster.

Goal: 25 miles

So far: 14.5 miles

The month is half-over and I'm more than half-way to goal. Just got to stay on track... I can do it!

Weather's been grooooss here (mid-40's and raining all week!), but is supposed to clear up Monday, so I can get some real miles in.

Week 2

18.75 miles

Total 31 miles

29 miles to go

We have had record temperatures this week. Temps went as high as 92 degrees. I woke this morning to temps of 56 degrees. What a wonderful difference. The drop in temps have me so energized. I might get my miles outside this weekend.

Another awesome week everyone! WooHoo!

It's been a bad week. I'm having trouble staying motivated - specially food wise. I thought I wouldn't have a problem meeting thois month's low goal, but its going to be close. I'm going to need to get out and get some serious walking in to reach it.

Goal: 25 miles

So far: 18.5 miles

week 3: 10 miles. Not a good week at all, started going to school so it's been kind of hard to get my miles in. I may fall short of my miles this month, but I will try hard to get the rest in. Good job and good luck everybody!

I'm signed up for a 5k run through a cemetery and golf course Halloween evening, that should put me very close to 100 miles for Oct.

october miles: 103.8 (16.2 short of goal--DANG!) I was bummed that another month has gone by with me getting close but not making goal, so I went back and added up all my miles since the July Challenge. In the last 4 months, I've biked 589.5 miles! I could have ridden my bike to Denver and home again 5 times! So...hello November! Time to try again. :scared2:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
