WISH ME LUCK!

I got a guest pass to LA Fitness and am going to attempt to swim/bike/run(walk) all back-to-back to see if I really can do this Triathlon thing in 2 weeks. I've eaten a good Breakfast and going to drink a protein/berry smoothie about an hour before I swim. Then a Protein Shake before the bike. Then a banana and my homemade power ball bites during the walk. (Of course lots of Water all through.) Let's see if I can make it in any kind of reasonable time frame.

Well, I did it. Wasn't pretty and I am sure not going to break any speed records, but I did the 400 m swim, 14 mile bike ride, and 5K walk, all back to back. I am tired and hungry, but I don't hurt or feel sore any where. I don't think I have the caloric intake right yet, so still experimenting with that. My tum was starting to resist the swallows of Water - not actually cramping, but not real happy, It could be that my energy balls have too much fat and are sticking around too long in my stomach. I will try something a with little more carb and less fat, using only as I am exercising, so it should go right into muscles. It took me about 2 hours 20 minutes total, using the machines. I really need to work more on my swimming and biking. Swimming is hard, if you haven't done it for a while. It expends soooo much energy. And I have to build up some calluses on my bottom!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
