One Month Of Running And...



Recommended Posts

Okay I haven't been around lately. I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday. Needless to say with the holiday's and family get togethers hasn't left a lot of time for catching up with everyone. Thanksgiving I started running. As of today I can run a mile in 15 minutes. I have been on vacation and I have ran everyday two miles a day. I think before the middle of January I can successfuly run three miles easy. Not a lot going on, Just trying to get rid of these last pounds. It is so damn hard to figure out what will and will not work with the last bit of weight. Determinaton is what is keeping me from settleing on weighing what I weigh now being my final weight. I will check in every now and then to let everyone know how it is going. Wish me luck... :)

I think you are on the right track with the running. We are in the same boat, I have about 15 lbs left to lose and it is tough. Running will do it and also get rid of that lower belly fat and love handles I have. Running a mile in 15 minutes is a big deal, good for you. I was at 17 minutes for a long time, I would run a quarter mile, walk a little and run another quarter mile until I completed a mile. I have just now got below 14 minutes for a mile. I went to the gym this morning and running a mile about killed me, I sat around too much yesterday. Keep up the good work. You can always start the P90X program with me, that is my plan to get rid of the last few pounds and get in really good shape. It is pretty intense but I can do anything now that I am this close to my goal. Good luck and keep us posted.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
