Good morning everyone
I am so sorry to see so many of us are injured :frown:
This challenge seemed like a walk in park ..... but its more difficult (body and time wise) than many of us anticipated.
I hope everyone gets rested up and feeling better. :flowerforyou:
Maybe we should adjust?
I did 5.3 miles yesterday, yardwork and walking a nursery.0 -
Sorry to hear you're suffering Tammie - sciatica is no fun at all. What exercise have you been doing? I picked up a tip on another forum - if you're using the treadmill a lot (like I do) then putting it on a slight incline is less likely to aggravate sciatica. I was sceptical but tried it and mine has been nowhere near as bad since then.
PS I had an early hysterectomy too (39) - I put soooooooo much weight on while I was recovering!0 -

I'm glad I opted for the 25 mile option over the 30 - today is an easy day for me as I've only got to do 1 mile to complete but 6 would be unlikely!
I've been doing a weekly challenge on another thread and we started at 15 miles and built up to 25 - I don't think I could have leapt straight in on 25 :ohwell:0 -
Julie Its better to opt for doable miles. The 30 miles a week is a bit of a stretch for me... over the 25. I average about 4 miles a day. So thats 2 more miles a week. I have 3.5 to do for this week.
1st week out...good Job0 -
I made my goal! I walked/ran 16.5 miles. I hope I'm not coming in too late to write it down.0
-
I mamaged 6 miles yesterday, just need to do 4 miles today and I have met my goal. I think I'm going to buy a pedometer for this week going up. Just need to update my ticker.
Oh I weighed myself today and I'm down to 205 so I've lost 3.5 lbs this week.0 -
Great job everyone. Just remember I need your current weight and how many miles you've walked this week no later then 10am Monday morning.
CW: 210=1.6lbs loss this week.
miles 27.6
Made my goal and then some.0 -
New weight.123.2
18 mi this week....2 short of goal :-/..0 -
Great try Nodairy. You had some technical issues so very understandable.0
-
Do you wear a pedometer? You might find you're doing a fair distance just going about your life - most of mine is done on the treadmill but I wear a pedometer all day and take the distance reading as my daily total i did but ilost it the fist day trying to run /walk at night so sad0
-
Yes I wear a pedometer but only when I go out walking. I don't wear it on a normal basis and I don't wear it during other workouts. So my mileage is actual only walking/running mileage. I also do walking dvds as well.0

I'm in the process of making a chart everyone so once I get everyones totals for the week I'll go ahead and post it so you all can see it. I will be the only one who can modify it just so nothing gets messed up.0

I learned a lesson this week - finish miles by Saturday. lol
I woke up feeling totally crappy. Luckily I only had 1.25 miles left so I went for a slow walk with my kids around the neighborhood to accomplish it. Now back to bed. lol
Total miles this week: 30 and current weight: 168.8 lbs.0 -
