Recommended Posts

I don't know if I would have had the will power to throw it away' date=' good for you! I ate 2 bites of pumpkin pie guts over the weekend, no crust just the filing. I think I saw a recipe somewhere for making it with Protein added. Gonna have to look for that.

I crochet, and enter a toy dragon that I made this summer.

That is the cutest little dragon. I love it!

Just added 2.77 state fair waking miles for a total of 9.77 miles for me today which is my high number since I started this :). Total for the month is 34.77. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Forced myself out to walk 1.5 miles today. Hurting but hey, I'm now to 36.2 miles.

I got in some good running today.

+ 4.5 miles (3.5 of them being 6 min and under miles)

1600 m warmup (8 min) - not too fast.

For time:

Run 3200 m (2 mile)

30 Burpees

30 Thrusters 95#/65#

Time : 16:10

When the running clock reaches 18:00, complete the following for time:

Run 1600 m (1 mile)

20 Burpees

20 Thrusters 95#/65#

Time: 7:20

When the running clock reaches 25:00, complete the following for time:

Run 800 m (1/2 mile) - all out sprint

10 Burpees

10 Thrusters 95#/65#

Time: 4:50

This was one of the hardest workouts I have done in terms of stamina and endurance. Felt good afterwards, but worn out. :) I worked out with 2 others and we were all looking worn afterwards. ;)

You know, my favorite time of the day is about 10 m after I get home, taking a hot shower. Feels so good. I also do some contrast showers, but not every day.

What's wrong? Definitely take the time to recoup if you are not feeling good. This challenge will still be here when you come back strong. Hope you feel better soon. :)

Walked 3 miles today and just finished a 4 mile bike ride. That puts me at 81.5 miles to date. Feeling great and I hope everyone else is as well! Everyone is doing great!

Couple diff things going on. The RA wants to come flare on me so I'm fighting that. My thyroid meds were too high now that I've lost weight. So I was almost strung out and hyper and therefore short of sleep. As soon as that was figured out I had to go off them for a bit and I crashed hard. Depressed, exhausted, worn out. So now on new dosage which hasn't kicked in. Everything hurts, feel like I have the flu and work is insanely busy, so worn out that way too.

All the things you don't think about when you blithely run off to get WLS.

Oh dear, that does not sound like a good place to be in. I hope your body stabilizes to the new regimen of the RA, thyroid meds soon. How long does it take for those changes to work themselves out?

Well the macho me believes it only takes as long as it does for me to man up, suck it up, and get on with it. :) but I suspect I will feel better within 2-3 days with the thyroid and then I'll be in cancun with my husband so I'll stop caring anyway! Thanks for asking.

Hello everyone, i just picked up on this thread and would like to join the fun! I am pre op but working on getting in better shape before surgery. Since the month is half over, I will target 50 miles by the end of month. Did 5.5 miles after work today on the recumbent bike.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
