D you look so effing cute.

So in search of something new and low impact (due to my clumsy ass slipping and hyper extending my fucking knee) I got my fat ass in the pool today. Holy shit, when you stop doig something it is not so easy to start back up. I used to swim on swim team in high school. I like swimming. I used to swim laps a few years ago. Yeah. Not so much anymore. So I did spend 30 minutes swimming and I know I ma going to feel it tomorrow. Hell I might take some vicodin tonight. But, it was a damn awesomeass workout. My heart was racing, my body was tired, adreneline was pumping. I heart that feeling. And that is two days in a row of good workouts. That is called a streak my friends. I might just be back in this thing.

ZZ,

They's be capris on you! They were purchased "short" as opposed to "tall" or "long" and I still had to hem them. :)

I think I'm the shortest one on this thread! I know BG and HP are taller than me. TBS and TX either of you close to 5'2"? Get a girl's back here.

BG,

You're on way to SUPER ROCK STAR status! Woo HOO!

I bumped my running/walking to 30 minutes in stead of twenty. I'm shooting to run a 5K February 17th.

Tomorrow I'll be doing the new "I want my Mommy" workout. I did it yesterday and it rocked! My workout buddy and I are going to do the 5K together.

Yee HAW!

Gotta love the "I want my Mommy" workout.

It is awesome you have a buddy for the 5K. I had one but she disappeared lol. She jsut saw some recent photos of herself and was not very pleased so she might be coming back toward the light.

I found my missing Ipod charger so now I can get that puppy all set up to go running tomorrow. Hopefully my knee will be fully recovered by then. I was just too scared to run on it today.

Morning ladies (and JC)...

BG - Wow on the swimming. I can't imagine the pain I'd be in after 30 minutes of swimming. That's hard work...

I'm off in a few for a walk with the wife and dog. I ran yesterday - not much, maybe 90 seconds or so several times. Scared the crap out of the dog. We were on our walk, and I started running, and the dog looked at my wife "holy fucking shit - the big one can go fast, too." I thought her eyes were going to bug right out of her head. First time in the 6 years the wife and I have been together that she has seen me run, too. Was kind of fun at the time. My knees are fucking killing me, though. Need to lose another 20-30 pounds before i try it again, and i need to get some real running shoes. Walking shoes and running shoes just aren't the same.

Will check back later - have a great Thanksgiving eve!

Running is amazing, not as fun as biking, but I'm really starting to dig it. Cool on meeting the number on the ticker.

It's offical my WO buddy and I are running February 17th! SaWEET.

I'm cooking like a fool come the end of my work day, but I'm so excited. Can I tell you I'm excited too about being able to negotiate tomorrow's huge meal without stressing about eating too much etc. I know I'll eat more calories than typical, because I'm gonna eat pie, but I know I'm not going to be this overstuffed, unmoveable, resentful of my out of control, sloth.

There's something to be really thankful for, right there. 2007 has been a fantastic year.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
