Had my 1 yr post op appointment yesterday. Went pretty well, the doctor was happy with my results considering the gallbladder surgery and then the flare up now. Also met with the nutritionist and she gave me some really good pointers as far as my diet goes and trying to incorporate the running. Excited to get back on track and moving forward again. Happy Tuesday everyone!

Wow, really quiet here. Feeling very fatigued the last few days so just walked today and will rest up good this weekend (I hope). Everyone have a blessed weekend!!

Started my marathon trainer app on Monday. Also registered for my first half marathon in September 2014. I'm super excited and it looks like I also have four other friends who have registered with me. On a sidenote I've hit a stall with the weight-loss again. In the last four months I have only lost 5 pounds total. It's been up-and-down, up-and-down. I have my one year post op check up next Monday and I'm also meeting with the nutritionist. I'm hoping she can give me some tips and pointers and some helps. I do know that the prednisone has something to do with it too but ENOUGH ALREADY!!!! Sorry for the yelling. Getting frustrated here. Happy Hump Day everyone.

I woke up this morning at 4 am and can't go back to sleep! I know it's because of the prednisone but ugh! I have to keep up with a 3 yr old today and even though grandma is in the best shape of her life I'm sure he's going to be putting my endurance to the test. Lol. I have also decided not to run my 5k outside with him in tow this morning. The temp is supposed to be 3 degrees with a windchill of -10. I am going to run on the treadmill with the little man entertaining me on uncles drum set. I'll take the iPad into the studio as well. That way he can play his curious George game. Everyone pray he doesn't climb on and trip us both up. I've decided I'm going to sign up for a half marathon next September. I was waiting to sign up till after I lost my 100 lbs but decided that having a goal like a half would just get me to that 100 quicker. Of course I'll be doing some 5 & 10k's along the way. Happy running everyone! Stay warm.

This is my 3rd time. Worth every effort you make. Your still a runner!

Wow! I am very interested in the TAPS program. You are doing so awesome. It would be fun to run with my fellow WLS friends. I also like your 60/60/60 plan. Might have to give that a try since I have hit a plateau for the last 3 mos! I know my being in a flare right now has a lot to do with it but I'm still getting discouraged some. Not giving up just scared that this is where I'll stall. Loved your post. Thanks for sharing.

12-6-13 C25K graduate AGAIN!!

I love reading everyone's posts! You all are so inspiring. Supposed to have a 5k this Saturday but it's supposed to be 18 degrees and I have my 3 yr old grandson. Still debating about what to do. I know he could walk a mile or more but do I want him out in this stuff?

Congratulations! I also had a off week last week and just finished W8D3 today but I finished it! Like you it was not a 5K but I did two and three-quarter miles. I'm supposed to do a race this Saturday but it's supposed to be 18°. I'm a little apprehensive and on top of that I'm supposed to also have my three-year-old grandson with me. I've never pushed a jogging stroller before and add to that the low temperature degree I'm thinking I may walk a couple miles instead. Will see what today holds. Happy hump day everyone!

Welcome back. It's good to see you here. I'm sure you're better health was another reason why you healed so quickly and so well.

It is an app. There are several different ones but plenty free ones to choose from.

Way to set the example!!

Workout done, now to practice moderation!!

Redo W8D2 completed! After 6 wks on prednisone and my muscles feeling like jello I'd say EXCELLENT!!

Walked this morning and then did some resist bands and free weights. Anxiously awaiting dinner tonight. The son and daughter-in-love are having a gender reveal party and I get to find out what the next grandbaby "should" be. Happy Tuesday everyone!!

I didn't ask. I'm sure it's ok. It's a result of my surgeries in the last year. It will definitely make me think long and hard about any plastic surgeries.

I thought my gallbladder surgery incisions were worse than my sleeve too.

Tag Droppin! Just finished w8d1. It was a challenge. Got a cortisone shot this morning and back up on my prednisone. Muscles feel like jello so don't know how the rest of the week is going to go. :-( With turkey day this week and then hubs & I are driving his parents to Az Friday & Saturday. I will fly home Monday so I'm going to do the best I can with the time I have.

Glad you made it. You are inspiring me!! It's funny because I'm thinking the same about you this morning. ???? I have a Dr appt and thinking how am I going to get my run and everything else done? You know what, I'm just going to have to make time for it. No ifs, ands or butts!!! I'll be posting my run later. You can count on it.

W7D3 done!!!! Finally saw the scales move down 3 pounds this week. It's about time! I've been battling a flare so they finally put me on prednisone. It helps with the flare & water retention but it sure does make my muscles feel like rubber bands. So because of that I am giving myself 4 thumbs up in still making the runs. It was very trying but I am so proud of myself that I pushed through it and did it!! Everyone have a blessed weekend. I get to see my son and daughter-in-love this weekend, I am so looking forward to it.

Stupid phone. I wasn't ready to send! Let's try this again. Did the stationary bike this morning and then the seven minute workout app X 2. It kicked my butt! I'm shaking afterwards. It's a good workout.

Just finished W7D2. Went pretty well. It's nice since I've slowed my pace down, I can actually run and just let my mind wander and think about things. I actually came up with some pretty good ideas for Christmas this year. Lol Anxiously awaiting my pacing partner, droppinstones, to post her run today. Are you on MFP? Everyone have a great hump day! I'll be back tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you posting your runs and encouragement again!

Wow, reading your post is like reading my own bio!
