50 Miles in September
 

I am going to move:dancer: (run, walk, bounce, spin, swim, eliptical) 50 miles this month. Want to join me?
Post your miles daily or every few days to help motivate your teammates!

Thanks for starting this thread! I'd love to join you in this challenge. I too will commit to moving for at least 50 miles this month. I usually walk each evening, but it's getting dark out earlier, so I'm going to have to work on incorporating some other activities. Or invest in a new treadmill.

Sept. 1 - 4th - 5.5 miles so far

Thanks for starting the thread, wanting to! Dude, where IS everybody?
Well, I've been keeping track, ish. So...

3.5 + 2.25 + 4 = 9.75/50 :carrot:

don't know where everybody is.. I hope they will show up. suspect lots of people are swamped with school starting and will show up soon. If not, we'll just have to cheer for each other!:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:
I'm a little bit behind my weekly goal, but did 8+ miles this week. :)
I'm glad you guys signed up. I really appreciate the support and will try to give support, too. :D

I'll join. I love my nike+ keeps track of all this.

I was a total slug yesterday:( I'm doing great as far as eating goes and I'm continuing to lose weight, but I'm having a really hard time getting motivated to exercise. I'd better get moving if I want to make my 50 mile goal! Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day! Rita

eta: OK, I managed to get my walk in early today before the big storm.

9/6 - 5.5 + 3.25 = 8.75/50

I'll get there yet!

walked (limped?) three miles today. It took an hour and a half. Probably not the best use of my time. I can ride 3 miles in less than 20 minutes on a bike. :-)

It might not be the best use of your time, but it's still good use. Sometimes I find the (stationary) bike too boring. It's nice to get out and see the world. I usually walk over a bridge near my house. It has a walkway for bikers/pedestrians that's separated from the roadway and spans across a really pretty river. Once I'm in better shape, maybe I'll venture over it with my bike.

Sorry if I missed it, but why are you limping?

I have arthritis and had surgery on my hip about two and a half months ago to shave off some of the arthritis inside the joint. I am still re-habbing from that. I have not been able to take a walk since June. So this was my first walk in several months. It was just a rather long one. :-)

Wow! Good for you for getting out there today. I'm just doing 3 miles myself, and that's without surgery or arthritis! Congrats on your accomplishment.

Pretty quiet in here. I hope it's because everyone's out and moving!! :dancer:

9/7 8.75 + 3 = 11.75

I'm going to have to step it up a bit if I want to make 50!

Crazy and rmc; we are all about the same size and started at the same size and are going to the same weight, according to our tickers.
How are you doing it?
swimming - you were smart to get on this before you got up too high.

That's pretty wild. I didn't even notice that. I am doing weight watchers. I did it 7 years ago and lost 70 pounds but after 3 kids I gained it back. I'm done having kids and ready to get fit. Come on ladies we can do it:D

I didn't notice that either! Great . . . we should make excellent "partners"! I'm just counting calories and trying to scale back on carbs a bit. I have tried a lot of diets, but always gained the weight back. Learning to watch portions and make better choices to stay within a certain number of calories seems to work best for me.

How are you doing it, wantingto?

i am eating 60-100 gm. of protein, some healthy oil (like olive oil) and 30 gm of fiber and no artificial ingredients. Somehow I get all of the carbs I need and more doing this. I log what I eat on Fit day. I have to be at the gym three (or more) days a week to rehab my hip, so I do weights and some miles on the bike there.
