Way to Go BG!!!! great run!

Ok I started my day with 8 miles in 30 minutes on the stationary bike. Then after work I jogged 3 miles and walked an additional 5miles at a 4 mile an hour pace.

I am disappointed Iwill try harder tomorrow. I am such a slacker! I really had a different plan than what I ended up with. I gave up too easy.

BG & D

You are doing what I want to do. I want to run. I'm still 28 pounds too heavy...in my own estimation. I tried running in the spring and my knee got to hurting, so I told myself I'd wait until I was under 200. It's a promise I want to keep for myself sO I don't just give up on it. I so want to run. I feel like when I walk there's a hand on my back pushing me to run. I tell everyone I'm going to run to my goal...

I'm jealous and proud of you two. You rock chicas!

J I started at about 255. Just like D I did the Couch to 5K. I could barely do the workouts when I started. I did most of the program on a 4mph pace. Very slow. I probably got to the second to last week before I stopped running. I got bored with it and that is when I started big with the biking. Lately I just wanted to do the running again because of the plateau. I can not believe how easy it was last night. After 2 miles I felt pretty much exactly the same as I did 2 minutes into the run. The only reason I did not go farther is because I was back at my house and it was dark outside. It is amazing the difference a few pounds and building a good cardio base (biking) will do for the running part. J you will be amazed at running when you hit 200.

JC if I was as big of a slacker as you I would probably be at goal by now.

I am going to jump on the statioary before BG baits me into the woodshed! LOL

BG, I was a slacker because I told myself to push a little futher than 3 miles. Any distance, even a few yards.

Since I have reached 3 miles I have grown conent with that distsance I have not added to it for weeks, and I gave up yesterday. All I had to do is jog a couple more steps ! WTF? I did punish myself with walking distance but I left feeling like a failure. That's just the way I am wired I guess.

I am running to prove something to myself. I don't know if I plan on running forever or what. I just want to do this couch to 5k program of 9 weeks and see what happens then. I recover super duper fast when I am done with my running part and doing the walking part. My legs are ROCK hard and I think it is a combo of running and biking. Hoping to get in a good 23 miles tonight on bike. I heart my bike!

D, my legs are rock hard too especially in the morning!!!!

Wow, that sounded a little woodshed worthy didn't it? But seriously I am seeing muscle definition that has been in hiding for years! It is a prime motivator.

My other prime motivator right now is meeting some of you in person.

      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!!
