Exercise has always been a hobby, but now I can push myself further and further than I could. I always wanted to be able to, but physically couldn't do all I wanted to do.

I love cycling..

Always wanted to be a runner and could never run more than 3-5 minutes at a time, now I can run almost 2 miles without stopping.

I want to be a triathlete..

I love crossfit, weight lifting..

I love extreme sports.

Taking a minute to boast here!! This was September.. running 2 miles at a time.. and now I'm up to 5-6 miles at a time, and completed a half marathon where I didn't stop running for 10.5 miles.. AHAH!

Well - I have always had a lot of hobbies. I think I will enjoy them much more now.

I still enjoy cooking - lots of people to cook for in my family so I get my little bit and it's nice. I just have one child (out of 7) at home - the other hungry young adults are there pretty often for some home cooking too. two college students who are home part of the year.

We like to hike, and I am excited to be physically able to do longer hikes at some of the parks we love. The diabetes sidelined me for a couple of years and I could only do shorter hikes. I miss the rambles.

I quilt, sew and crochet, and I am looking forward to going back to making some of my own clothes when I get to maintenance.

I have a rose garden that has not been as well tended as I would like. This year is shaping up differently because I now have the energy to devote to it.

I love to sing and play the flute. I want to learn to play piano. My son has tried and tried to teach me, and I am just going to keep trying.

I recently wrote a short novella for a fanfiction site, and it was well received, I believe I would enjoy doing more of that.

I am hoping to get back home to Michigan next winter for snowshoeing and skiing, as it has been YEARS since I have done that, and looking forward to July for swimming and beach time. (beach time - that's a laudable hobby, yes?)

I also love shooting - and archery. I can only really do that to my liking when I am home on the farm, but it is enjoyable. We shoot rifles in the winter and archery when I visit in the summer. I only see out of one eye, really, and I think it gives me an advantage. I'm a crack shot if I do say so myself.

I plan on getting back to bicycling and possible competition shooting sports again.

And of course spending quality time with the G-kids.

I used enjoy being outside a lot, and looking forward to having the energy again to do these things.

I read, exercise, learn German with an AP and look for healthy, tasty recipes to cook.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
