Did stationary bike this morning and then get the seven minute workout at times two. It kicked my butt! I'm shaking afterwards.

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.

One more day and then I get released to start running again. Bring it on. Already planning a 5K for turkey day.

I'll run a 5K on turkey day in your honor! :) I'm leaving on Saturday for my first skinny cruise and Thursday is an at sea day, so it'll work out perfectly.

Awesome.

In the spirit of the holidays I'm gonna try to do a Santa Hustle half marathon the weekend before Xmas.

Help! It's been a week and a half since I have ran! I moved and don't have access to a treadmill right now and I had gotten so comfortable running that way. I live in a great neighborhood now where I've even mapped out a route but there's something that is incredibly intimidating about getting out there and running. Maybe it's the whole running in public thing? Maybe I feel like I will fail and won't be able to run other than on a treadmill? I have a 5k on November 30! I have to get moving ASAP.

Trust me....running outside is a little more difficult, but way more rewarding. If you're running on a treadmill already, I don't think you're likely fail. Take that first step, you will never look back.

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.

LisaT678. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have made my run on Friday!!! Really was not feeling it. That ended up being an important lesson for me... Despite feeling so weak and not really into it, I was still able to complete my run... Next run tomorrow... Are you feeling better???

Starting wk 2 day 1 today and I decided to take it outside for the first time ever. Even caved in and bought new sneakers. It is currently 23 degrees out with a high of 37 expected for today. Yikes, but I planned this last week and if I start off making excuses already....

Love it. Running in the cold is the one thing I love doing in the dead of winter. Getting out the door is the hardest part. But it's amazing how much body heat you produce. Then it's just a matter of learning to dress for the appropriate temp. I'm still figuring it out....trying to anticipate how warm I'm going to get a mile down the road. For me the biggest factor is good gloves. I can have sweat rolling off my forehead and my fingers are still like ice. My wife is the opposite...her hands stay comfortable even without gloves but she needs a ski mask if it gets below 50.

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.

Well did my wk 2 day 1 run outside in 23 degree weather and felt very proud of myself. Didn't feel cold at all but did learn to bring tissues for my runny nose next time.

That is pretty crazy to run in sub freezing temperatures. Will it lead to a better chance of picking up a cold?

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.

You guys are doing awesome! I am taking a break from running this week because of my gallbladder surgery last Wednesday. One of the incisions is more painful than anything I had from my sleeve surgery! So just taking it easy and assuming I will be all good next week.

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
