Ahh good topic!!
Did my first duathlon in April and below is what I am signed up for so far for the remainder of the year.
May 24th Running in Rock The Block 5k in Plano Tx. It is about 7 miles from the house so I am riding my bike to the event, running, then riding the bike back to the house.
June 21st Tour d Italia in Italy Texas. This is a 63 mile ride. I will likely do the 40 mile ride and not the full 63 this year.
August 10 running the Chris Brown Duathlon in Tulsa OK. This is 5k run 30K bike ride and another 5K run.
September 6th Foam Glow 5K Gran Prairie Tx
November 9th Bronda's Du Texas Motor Speedway 2 mile run 16 mile bike ride then 2 mile run.
Still trying to decide if I squeeze any others in between these. I think I need something in July like another long distance bike ride.

I measure by the bottle. Much easier that way...

Almost 11 months out and no carbonation for me. I was never a huge soda drinker anyway. However I want a beer like mad but I am staying away...

The good news is you know that you are off track and have gained. Now you need to figure out how you want to reset your mind so you can get back to losing the weight. Your sleeved so you still have the ability to lose. YOU can do it.

I just wish i would have known. Then I would have done it sooner. My life is so different since the sleeve and I am loving it!

Sunday I will be doing my longest duathlon so far. 5K run 30K bike and another 5K run. Did my last push of training this morning. I know I will likely be the slowest but I know I will finish!

I have become more active after losing the weight. I can tell you without a doubt I have been able to be active all day and never feel any ill effects because of it.
For example yesterday I had the day off so I went on an 8 plus mile trail ride on my mountain bike, went home and started doing yard work for about 2 hours, then unloaded a truck bed full of dirt. That was 2 and half hours of shoveling the using a wheel barrel to haul it from one side of the house to the next.
So yes you can still be active. My only regret is not doing this sooner...

I counted my Protein for the first 4 weeks after surgery. After that I stopped and have not looked back. I learned how to listen to my body. When I feel like I need to eat I do so. Do I ever over eat? Yep. That being said this is what has worked for ME. I have been able to maintain the same weight now for over 2 months and I am happy where I am at. If i lose a few more no biggie. As long as I do not gain I am good.
