Whosya - Great job on the duathalon. The bike whips my butt every time I get on this hilly counrty road. I end up getting off and pushing. ARGGgghh

I grew up in the Philadelphia area. Go Phillies and Eagles.

I like the Packers much better than the Eagles. In fact, I root for the COWBOYS, and whoever is playing against the Eagles. I am a die hard Cowboys fan!!!!!!! I watch every game. I can't wait for football season to get here again!!!

Thanks for the inspiration. I have a long term goal of running a full marathon some day. It is great to see the achievements you have made.

By the way I am a huge Green Bay Packer fan!! (since the 60s when I was a little girl.) I cried when Brent retired. My husband likes the Patriots. (Brady fan) Truthfully he is an underdog fan. (Although the Patroits aren't underdogs)

I live in Ohio - Go bucks! I love football

Well, the rain has stopped in Columbus, my Yorkie (Todd) and I are off for our morning run.

I hate getting my shoes wet - it feels yucky:sad::tt1:

Maybe I will include some unique ballot jumps over the puddles.:party:

You are too funny Lyn. Wish I could see the ballet moves.

I used to have a Roger Staubach poster on my wall in my bedroom when I was a little girl. Go Cowboys!!

Now that I am 3 days away from my surgery date, I am so excited (not nervous at all) I added extra walk time to our (my Yorkie and my) c to 5k work out.

a couple of physical issues I could use help with:

1. Shin splints

2. inner thighs rub together - ouch I have a blister. Isn't that a visual!! I have worn loose shorts and spandex - the ol' thunder thighs are rebelling! Any suggestions.

When I got home from my work out I had my husband (Tom) take my offical before pictures with the digital camera - thank God Wal-mart photo deartment doesn't have to develop these beauties!

I have been drinking the Adkins low carb Protein Drinks - I actually like them.

Can you tell - I am so pumped up about creating the new Lynn. I don't know who I would be yaking to if I didn't have you all.

Hey, would it be great to run our first 5k together? We could be "BANDED AND BONDED!!!!

By the way Renewedhope, my ballot jumps over the puddles were breathtakingly scary! Even my dog was embarrassed.:party:

I love Football too. I'm not a Dallas Cowboy Fan (were Charger Fans)but, it was my childhood dream to be Dallas Cowboy CHEERLEADER! I made it threw High School Cheer and that's it! Got married started having babies and became a cow! Oh well I am and always will be a cheerleader at heart!!

Whosya...awesome job!!! I think once I get to the point where I can run a 5K, I would like to step it up and do a mini triathlon..my husband and daughter would totally do that with me. When were you banded?

Lyn-You crack me up Woman!

Mother Earth said to Father time, "what is that sound?" "What sound replied father time?" "Listen, it is a thump thump thump", said mother earth. "I can feel it on my surface, she confussed. Father time, smiled and said, " I know what that is ... it is the newly banded humans running interval couch to 5Ks all over the world" "Aren't they amazing!" said Father Time. "You know for all of their hard work and effort I am going to give each one of them extra time on earth."

What will you do with your extra time?

Have a great week everyone, Lynn:shades_smile:

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
