Today is a no run day. I do the seven minute workout app, run through twice. Boy howdy, does it kick my butt! Then I rode on the stationary bike for 10 minutes and walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes. Tomorrow is week seven day two and I'm actually looking forward to it.

Do you run mon, wed, fri? I am such a creature of habit that I HAVE to run set days or it throws me off all week long. I am so OCD about certain things. ????

Prayers for speedy recovery.

Just finished W7D1. Averaged a 15 min mile so still slow but STEADY!! I am glad I cut back my speed. I felt like I could have gone a little longer and I wasn't struggling to breath. I just had to come to the place to realize that it's ok to be slow. I don't have to be a sprinter to be considered a runner and my speed will improve with time, consistency and persistence. Hey friends, I'm a RUNNER & I'm proud of it!!

I am at the same place! We're pacing partners!!

Hope your recovery is speedy. I had my gallbladder out last April and couldn't run for 2 weeks. Hope your Dr releases you sooner.

Finished week 6 today (for the third time around). Felt good knowing I'm not giving up. Still bummed about my lack of weight loss over the last 3 mos but I'm moving forward and keep telling myself that it's not just about the numbers on the scale. It's what is changing on the inside as well that will determine my future. I know I'm shrinkng in size because I finally broke down and went and bought new jeans yesterday. I haven't wore a 16 since I was in college! That was the booster I needed to keep plugging on. Everyone have a great weekend.

Love reading you encouraging story. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Your doing awesome!

Wow, still trying to figure out this new app. It's like when I sign in I can't find this thread. Backed up a little bit to week 6 of C25K. Just finished day 2 run and feel pretty good.

Was finally able to sign in. Hope everyone finds their way back.

Redoing week 5 this week. Day 2 is done and kind of looking forward to my 20 min run Friday. Freaky hearing me say that! Was wondering how many calories and protein grams everyone has a day. My weight has REALLY stalled and I'm disappointed in my lack of loss. I am 1 mo out from 1 yr post surgery and am only down 59 lbs. I see my dr next mo and don't have a nutritionist here locally. Really scared to face the holiday season.

Summer is over and vacations are over. Now it's time to refocus on me! Running is back on track and eating properly is next. #noroomforfailure

Welcome to a great group!

Did my run today but there's a lot of head games going on. I just keep repeating to myself, "never give up, never give up". Even if I never run a while 5k without walking I'm still moving and my body & family will thank me for it when I'm 100 and healthy and alive!!

After a two week vacation I'm finally back on the run. It's amazing how fast your endurance can go down. I love reading everyone's post. You're all very motivating and encouraging. Keep up the good work!

Welcome! I'm 10 mos post-op and have never had a single day of regret. Love my sleeve more and more each day.
