It's been a while since I posted last, but I have continued to work out 5 to 6 days a week. I'm up to 9 miles in 49 minutes on my friend the elliptical!!! I'll try to post more often.

Did my yoga today, as well as Sat. & Sun. I've also been using my exercise ball with my resistance bands in the afternoon, it takes me about 30 mins.to get through the resistance exercises and with the yoga is about 45 mins. My stamina has improved greatly and boy they both make me work up a sweat.

Also, I'm headed out the door to go hike a five mile trail near my house. The weather is beautiful and I just want to be outside in it!

Great job everyone!

Todays 5 mile run felt really good! I think the break last week ( three days ) was what my body and mind needed. Ran strictly by HR today, targeting 85-87% of my max HR.

I think I will target a 9:09/mile for my Memorial day biathlon....followed by the bike ride.

I'd like to get another Half Marathon in UNDER 2:00 this year, so I need to get the 5 mile time around 8:55.

I made it to a boxing class yesterday morning. I've rounded up my group to go again Thursday. It's an awesome hour of therapy. Every punch releases a little bit of stress.

Did my Yoga and attempted to match my movements with the more difficult poses. Also, did my resistance bands exercises. I am hurting today after my hike yesterday. Muscles are aching where I didn't even know I had muscles.

But, I'm feeling accomplished!!

LOL!!! Going to start going on Saturday mornings too starting this week...Yeah Me!!! Sorry a bit on happy street this morning...finally I am down too although its unofficial 44 lbs!!!

Did my yoga, I'm still pushing myself to do the moderate poses. Geez Louise yoga makes me sweat! My dogs were very rambunctious this morning so I took them on a walk. We were gone for about an hr. I guess I need to invest in a pedometer.

It's overcast and a little humid here in MO. Suddenly I hear Little Orphan Annie singing... The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. Oh! Geez...that's going to be stuck in my head for awhile. Sorry!!

Update: I've been wanting to start running, but I keep telling myself I can't because of my health issues. My Dr. told me to go slow and see how I feel. So, today I downloaded Couch-to-5k.

Wish me luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
