The cat came back, the very next day- the cat came back- he couldn't stay away

I did week 6 day 1. I just can't go back, it's like rereading a book or watching a movie twice in a month. NEVER, I say!! O_O

So I did this below. It was so soooo hot even at 8:15 pm-9. Humidity about stopped me but I kept on. Poured Water over my head when I got to the van.

Congrats on moving ahead Amy. I do the same thing at the end of my run. The Water over the head is so cold sometimes it takes my breath away. Which actually feels good. (I'm weird I know it). Lol

How terrible is it to do this 2 days in a row? I kinda want to do it again today.

Not terrible Amy. Have fun!! Stretching and rolling after a run will help your legs feel better for running the next day. Listen to your body and you will know if consecutive run days is terrible for you or not.

Amy great job :) glad your back on track! I wouldn't know about the satisfaction of not going back because its all I've done...

Fiddle I've never progressed past week one.

I'm admitting defeat on c25k this morning.

Happy running guys!

I know you will find something you really enjoy soon enough laura. I remember you saying you can spend hours kayaking. That sounds like it would be great for you if you have access to that on a regular basis. :) I think that is key. You need to enjoy what you are doing.

I actually did start that program once but at almost 60 my knees would hold up. Arthur. So I went back to brisk pace walking and my gazelle low impact exercise machine. I have never been and will never be um, shall we say, aerobic minded. Lol. In fact one of my favorite verses I. The Bibles is "Bodily exercise profited little!" Hee hee. ( I know it's out of context but its my LIFE VERSE!).

You need to read the whole chapter or verses "around" the verse in question and not take it alone to mean something it wasn't intended to mean. The word "exercise" actually was the Greek word for Training not lifting weights. :)

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
