    I've caught some kind of flu bug and have ZERO energy !! I keep thinking I feel better, then go to get out of bed and feel lightheaded again like I may pass out - urgh! This is going to mean a few days with no walking for me, but hopefully once the bug runs its course I can make up missed miles with a few long hikes the weekend or something!

    Stayed the same this week, 3rd week in a row. I'm starting to get a bit demotivated, not to mention puzzled. And grumpy, I've been seriously grumpy all day.

    Also it rained all day, so didn't get my cycling in. Will have to make a serious efort to catch up at the weekend.

    It's nice to see how well everyone is doing :)
    I upped the mileage on my runs this week, and I'm suffering slightly for it. I have dodgy joints that I need to be very gentle with, and I think I increased a bit too fast. Still on track for the challenge though.

    So you are joining us and increasing your goal to 200 as well? :happy: :tongue: :flowerforyou:

    I've actually made my goal 250. I seem to be doing about 50 miles a week minimum right now. It's Thursday and I've already done 45.5 miles. But unfortunately, I'm not losing any weight. I've been logging everything this week and have been great on calories, eating 4 or 5 times a day, but my sodium is a little bit high. Plus, I've really ramped up the exercise with spinning twice a week, running outside 1-2 x a week, elliptical 1 or 2x a week, and a bit of strength training, so maybe its water retention in muscles that weren't really worked much before or muscle gain. I swear my thighs are smaller but that might be wishful thinking! :tongue: I'm going to try and remember to get out the measuring tape and see if my mind is playing tricks on me. :)

    That 5% is going to be tough... but 100 miles will be quite the accomplishment anyway. Keep it up everyone!

    Well the weather *finally* cooled off a bit here, so I was able to walk more outside which felt great. Logged lots of miles on the bike, so I think I'll challenge myself to another 100 miles after I finish up the first hundred - 200 miles by Halloween :)

    The weight loss is veryyyyy slow but feeling hopeful that I'll be able to reach the goal by H'ween.
    This challenge has really helped keep me motivated, so thanks again, Elana!


    Because I am counting everything I do, I wear a bodybugg so I am counting my daily steps, I will join you and up mine to 200 miles by Halloween. My goal for this week is to do 3 bike rides which would be 60 miles for just my bike rides, but then I add my goal of 10k steps per day which is 5 miles each day... It all adds up pretty quickly. I'm going to change my goal to 200 miles!

    I'm with you! I count everything. My goal is to track my day and make myself over all more active. I don't wear a bodybugg but I wear a pedometer all day every day. Sometimes I get in more steps than others but most days I'm over 10000. I'm going to join the 200 mile club! I'm at 50 miles in the first 2 weeks. I hope I'm not over extending myself! LOL

    Finally out of bed, I have 0 miles to add to my count tomorrow morning! I got a nasty flu last Monday night/Tuesday morning that just continues to linger and has stripped me of all my energy so I haven't been out for a walk at all ! I've been in bed, no exercise what so ever - boooo! I'm bummed about missing a whole week of logging miles, I wonder if I can still make the 100 !

    I don't want to weigh myself tomorrow :ohwell: I just want to eat. There are cookies and milk calling my name from the kitchen and I'm so close to giving in. Last week I only lost .2....I'm pretty frustrated. Ugh I guess we will see what the scale says in the morning....
