KAREY! So good to hear from you! I'm glad the surgery went well and that you are home recuperating. Baby yourself through this phase and I'm sure you will be feeling better before you know it. In the meantime, I hope you have good drugs! LOL Bless you, girl! I'm wishing and praying you a quick recovery!

Stef,

I don't know about anyone else but I would much rather you posting on here with us than worried about the spreadsheet!!! I haven't been the greatest at keeping up with tracking my goals, and I am sure not doing 300min in cardio still. So as far as I am concerned please don't feel obligated!! Glad to see you posting!!

Karey~ wow, I can't believe your up and posting. You go girl!!

Okay all well had such a great day last week and was hoping it would last, but another blast from Winter is upon us in Ohio...Supposed to get any where from 6-12 inches of snow...Yuck!!! So no gym for me on Friday, I just hope I can get to zumba tomorrow.. Okay, Take care all!! Karey get some rest and take care!!! I hope you have great workouts!!

Thanks, Jess! I have been feeling SO guilty about not having that "bleeping" spreadsheet figured out and updated. I am waving the white flag, though. I'd much rather be posting here, too. :tongue:

Well today is back day. Our favorite lat pulldown cable will get hit hard today! And more good news on tomorrows ride...the weather report has raised the projected temperatures over ten degrees for tomorrow! And if it is HALF as gorgeous as today, I'll love it! I can't belive that 24 hours ago it was snowing heavier than I've ever seen here in Texas! It didn't have a chance of sticking, though...the ground was too warm. Anyhow, the training ride and kickoff party should be fantastic tomorrow and turnout should be very good! WOO-HOO!

Today we did biceps and triceps at the gym. It was a short run, about an hour.

Also, Saturday was a training ride for the MS150, and it was fun! Then the MS Society served yummy BBQ and they made announcements which were very informative and we got to talk to lots of other cyclists from the area. It was great, and I got another ride under my belt.

I also just signed up for "Tour Dallas", which is a ride to fight against inactivity. There are three route options, but the longest is 30 miles, so I chose that one, of course! LOL That one should be a lot of fun, too.

Today was a running day on the treadmill. Total of 50 minutes, here is the breakdown:

22 minutes at 5.5 mph and 1.0% incline (I was told that running @ a 1.0% incline will make the run on a treadmill more like a run outside) for a total of 2 miles

15 minute walk at 4.0 mph and 2.0% incline for a total of 1 mile

4:40 minute run at 6.5 mph and 0 incline for a total of 0.5 miles.

8:20 minutes at 4.0 mph and 2.0% incline for a total of .55 miles

Total-4.05 miles and 840 calories.

Sidenote: don't know if any of you have seen the thread, but I'm looking into starting my own little training regiment of my days off from work to try for a mini triathlon (1/2 mile swim, 13-15 mile bike ride, 3.1 mile run). I'm going to do the first one on Thursday. I'll let you know how bad it goes.:tongue:

MY Goodness Stef is hitting it hard again...and exercisng alot too:)

YOu guys ROCK. Today i went back to weight lifting as part of my scheme.

I was adding extra cardio and less muscle but it seems i lose more weight when i do even cardio and weight trainning. I think its because it takes alot of cals to repair those sore muscles.

So this morning i did 45mins of weights and 45 mins of Spin Class.

Next week im on the road again in Ohio but it wont stop me hitting it...or exercising.

Oh no, Daddy! I never quit! That would kill me! LOL

I just haven't had near as much time to post with hubby being home. He's still home...this is the longest he's ever taken off from work, and it's been nice. I wish I could drag him to the gym with me more often, but he does go on occasion. And at my rides, he is my biggest fan, so that is priceless.

Hey, whatever happened to JM? I miss her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ceradad! That is the first I've heard about your Tri! How exciting! I hope to be able to do one by Fall of this year. I will be waiting impatiently to hear how it goes for you. You HAVE to take pics and post them, too! How did you find your Tri? TriFind.com? I have a hard time locating them. You will do fantastically...just by entering and going for it!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
