Good job at doing the c210k program (the first here?)! Just like the c25k program you can repeat any day or any week that you feel is necessary. One thing you can try is to eat more carbs before and during run to avoid "the bonk." Your muscles are probably depleted of glycogen post 30 min. Energy squares work great from nuts.com to satisfy, but a handful of almonds will work too.

It is kind of therapeutic to admit to past addictions...I was such a food sinner. Lol.

Mrs. g- awesome job at sticking to plan with temptations!! The bisquits are so good!!!! One of my past addictions. Maybe a future addiction. maybe.

Laura will take them and give them to get husband.

Back in the good old days, I used to be very fond of the founders modified with cake batter ice cream and graham cracker with extra caramel. My favorite red robin burger was the burnin love and a couple refills of the steaks fries. Often both in the same evening. . . .

They hooked me wife in!!! She went over her limit and had 2.5.

Agree with Ms Anti band, chicken will definitely fill you up!! Probably even 1 oz at the beginning of solid food stage.

Sitting at red lobster right now looking at a basket of biscuits. I definitely think those are sliders...anyone like those??

I have a red robin free burger and a cold stone free like it for anyone. Just need to show it is your day in the last 30 days and you have my name. It helps if you can get a fake ID made! Lol. I will never be using these...

So do you think it is the caffeine or the extra protein that helped break your stall? Or have you removed any carbs by switching to the low carb chike? Answer not for me, but for others.

Try this AMRAP WOD in 20 min: 1. 10 kettle ball swings 2. 25 m kettle ball carry AMRAP = as many as you can, kettle ball as heavy as you can handle (eg 45 lb). Do not lose control. If you sense loss of control, STOP and rest! You do not want to drop at top of swing because of lost control. My arms were on fire after this AMRAP WOD. Remember to stretch them out afterwards by leaning into the wall with palm out, fingers splayed and then bent downward at wrist. You will definitely want to do this stretch afterwards.

I am up like 3-4 x every night to urinate, but I attribute that to just drinking a lot of water during the day versus a prostate issue being 37. I did talk to the doc about potential prostate issue about 1-2 months ago, but he said not likely prostate for a guy my age. We did the rectal prostate exam (fun....NOT!! ). Did not find anything on the exam.

Thanks for the responses! I am going to set up an appointment to start the process.

Laura- what can I say?!? Wowza. Are you getting me back for dragging you into food fantasies??

@rebecca- how in the world did I type that? Lol. Sleep at the wheel again (BA da bump)

That is such an awesome NSV! Perhaps my wife will have your success also as she has dealt with ankylosing spondylitis most of her life. She currently is on remicade injections every 6 weeks, but has done prednisone and embrel in the past. She is going to have VSG in a couple months and would it not be amazing if she had your success.

Hey all - I have cpap machine that is gathering dust from my surgery last year on 7/2/2012. I did not use it after surgery nor did i do a follow up on a dianosed severe apnea issue as a pre op. my sleep is pretty good now, especially after adding daily fitness (have been maintaining for a few months). A couple questions: 1. Do you think my sleep would be awesome with the cpap machine? 2. Do you think I should go through another sleep study with the referral from my pulmonary doctor? Thanks for your response. Either way, I have a lightly used (2 months) cpap machine available if any pre op wants to purchase it.

Thanks everyone! I also have my own set of heroes and role models as well as lots and lots of people that motivate me daily with their successes and positive attitudes on VST.
