It was 78 here in STL with lots of storms and wind. One minute sunny, next minute 50 hour winds, rain storms and 5 minutes later clear. Last weekend it was almost 70 Sunday and by Monday evening in the 30s and same on Tuesday and back to 50. I have a cold now came on Thursday so only got 3.5 miles in fo rthe week. This past week was my first week back to work full-time and wore me out more than I thought it would. I should be able to make my goal by the end of the month.

That's funny cause my BIL and SIL who are here with us are from STL. They actually split there time between there and Jefferson City MO.

Hi all! I'm checking in after a few days...I got another 32 miles in this past week doing the treadmill, walking, and exercise bike. Total for now is 66. I'm still doing well with C25K. I decided to do an extra few days of week 2 as I didn't really to move on to the next week. Good job everyone! I'll check in again soon.

Update through Nov 17

Goal: 10,000+ steps per day average for the month

Current Average: 10782.94

Total Miles: 52.16

Down a little because I was in the car for 14 hours on Sunday, and had a couple of hectic days/strength-training days last week.

Worked out my strength training exercises and prelim goals with PT on Friday. Need to put them in a spreadsheet so it's easier to change them up.

He's really REALLY into whole body exercises, so I'll be doing a butt-load of push-ups, chin-ups, and planking! New goals for December, Butter!!! We'll have to do this again!

A great 5.05 miles walked today including a very nice 1.00 walk with the wife. Always more fun when she is with me. We have set our goal for our 1st 5K on Feb 1st. We will be walking it, but we will be participating...that is what counts. Weighed in at 287 this morning, most definitely my lowest in 25 years!

My total for the month is now at 81.2 miles. Feeling GREAT!!

Oh I wish you a speedy recovery!! Those are the WORST!! My brother swears by Gatorade to help dissolve them...he's had them enough to know...maybe you can try it.

Thank you! This is my 4th time having kidney stones in the last 7 years. They are awful lol Thank goodness I'm able to continue working at this point and stay off the pain meds during the day. I haven't heard that about Gatorade before. Coincidentally though, I've been drinking quite a bit of G2 the last week due to me still struggling to get all my fluids in. :/ I'll bounce back soon hopefully lol

      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!!
