My new total is 520 minutes.

Stef - you make me feel so inadequate!

No way! Don't feel inadequate! It's a relative to what you USED to do, and you are MOVING now! You're doing great!

stef: I dug those pics of your rides. It's nice have places like that near by to ride in. It's kind of like me with my hiking, I only drive like 5-10 mins and I got some cool places to ride and hike.

Thanks, captain...yes, it is nice to be able to ride in a beautiful, shaded (for the most part), protected area...no motorized vehicles are allowed on the trails there. And it's only minutes away for me, like your hiking. I love it out there.

One of those pics I should have added a caption to. It is of a retired couple passing me going the other direction. They are out there every day on a tandem recumbent bicycle! They do the full trails twice, which is over 30 miles! They do this Monday thru Friday! They are awsome.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
