Lose Weight 32

Matryoshka

I ride my bike but won't be able to judge distance on that. I could use the exercise bike in the gym though (would the reading on the crosstrainer be much different as I use that equipment more)

Thanks for that, Princess Jelly. So, with 30 days in April that would be 28.23 miles a day, or 20.1 miles depending on the route.

Does that sound do-able? I have no idea how far I go on my bike, I just check time and cals.

That sounds an awful amount to do in a month

I was wondering about swimming the channel which is 21 miles at the shortest crossing - not sure that I could do that yet

Hi Vix
I do still read everyday but I don't have much to say as I am not actively trying to lose weight any more and I am so committed to my new way of eating, it is hard to offer advice or opinions on a more normal diet with procressed food and sugar in.
I am at the very top end of my bmi and am just monitoring my weight and seeing avery very slow downward trend which is good;another half stone off would be great but it may take the rest of the year.


I've been doing the raw vegan diet for a month now. Can't believe it myself as I love meat (I'd already given up my beloved cheese 7 months ago). But my health continues to limit my life and when I read up on this diet, something just clicked inside me and I just knew this was the right thing to do. Don't worry, I still refuse to wear socks with my sandles..:rotfl:
I'm certainly eating very healthily and don't feel deprived. Lots of yummy avocado's, hummous & dates in the mix:D

I'm also busy de cluttering and have got rid of half of what I own in the last 2 months, so that has taken up more of my time.

Thought twas doing well on one thing a day = 365 in a year:rotfl:
Pop in sometimes though as I miss you

Thanks for the distance stuff (and the insanity link - it sounds bonkers :eek:). I worked it out to 32.33 km a day. Im not sure if this is accurate. I also dont know how viable that distance it is in a day.

To the swimming idea (I could do both challenges so either is feasable), how many lengths of a swimming pool equal a mile? (Its not olympic sized). I manages 20 lengths on Monday in my session. My butt STILL aches

Im hoping this stupid laryngitis/cold/annoying illness passes soon. I want to be swimming on Monday again :cool:

Is it a normal bike or exercise bike? If it's a normal bike and you do regular routes on it, you can always check some online route planners to get the distance. I think the crosstrainer would be fine to use as it does the same motion as a bike.

They both sound like great challenges, but if we're going to really struggle to complete them then maybe we need to try think of other places with a more suitable distance, either that or extend it to a 6 week challenge... or even a Spring Bank holiday challenge!

Just imagine when you do :eek: You'd have to treat yourself to summat nice (not foodwise though)

I hope I get back to under 10 stones when I weigh tomorrow

check here for Insanity http://www.google.com/search?client=gmail&rls=gm&q=Insanity%20workout

It's a 60 day workout challenge in which they guarantee you'll have a rippling body :j I'm on Day 19 :beer: and it's hard, hard, hard :eek:

Have you noticed a significant change in your body shape yet? YOu must be knackered!

Most pools, like the one I use, are 25 metres in length, I swim 32 lengths at a time which is half a mile.

An olympic pool is 50 metres long

Eek, if I've worked it out correctly then that's just under 1350 lengths! That does sound quite a lot to do in a month.

Well done to all of those who tackled the Everest challange :j
