back to the grind:

What? Me gloat? Never. Not until we are done and in the playoffs. I'll just say it was a very satisfying win.:mad2:

Now, weekend was a complete bust. Holiday party Friday night and 5 beverages. UFC night at friends house Saturday night and 4 beverages. Just not good.

Monday-upper body circuit training with 11 reps. Followed that with 80 minutes of cardio.

This morning-60 minutes of cardio.

Yesterday, didn't get above 0 here. Today, not much better. Let me just say, I HATE DRIVERS IN THE WINTER. Took me 1 1/2 hrs to get to work today when it only takes me 35 minutes normally.:blushing:

I was over the win by yesterday morning. Just like I was over the Steelers loss by the next morning. Only problem with the Steelers loss was that I made a bet with Steelers fan at church to have to wear the winners hat Sunday morning at church. SUCKED.:blushing:

2 more games and we'll see where we sit then.

You know what sucks? Going on a business trip, taking your workout clothes but forgetting your runners...my only shoes were black slingbacks....hardly appropriate.

Back to the Y today. 30 minutes working on back muscles; 20 min the wave.

dh packs his all the time; but 9/10 they never get used - even w/his runners!:smile2:

today is my day off fr working out, however DH is home and we have movers coming shortly to move us from downstairs - upstairs, as that part of the remodel is done....and then they can gut where we have been living for the last yr....AFTER the NYR.

i'm sure i'll be doing some lifting or giving LOTS of direction.

Yesterday: Fatality on the HWY, better known as blood alley, which caused me to get home to late to work out.

Today: 33 minutes treadmill @ 4% incline 1.25 miles. I am feeling tired. Where is my energy????

Ah. bliss. Nice long slow 10km run on fresh legs after a rest day yesterday. Boy it was nice. Weather perfect, not too hot. Only problem encountered, workmen doing new lane along Narre Warren Cranbourne Rd. Oh well, let em look. I couldnt hear their hooting with their ipod going. Although I bet it looked funny, I bounded DOWN the hill looking like a Kenyan Marathoner, I staggered UP the hill an hour later red faced, sweating and a good deal slower!

I chose the right music this time. Last time I planned a slower longer run, Doug had put some ACDC on my ipod. I nearly killed myself keeping up with the beat of it - the endorphins kicked in early and I was like greased lightning. Trouble is I puked when i got home :ohmy: 10K in about 45 minutes will do that to you! Especially when your normal time is about an hour!

Tues P.M.-worked 3 hrs extra, so got to gym late. Still managed to do 40 minutes of leg workout. Followed it up with 20 minutes more of cardio on elliptical.

Yesterday was 85 minutes on elliptical. Very tired after doing legs so late on Tuesday night. Don't think I had enough recoup time.

Today A.M.-50 minutes of upper body workout. No cardio as I have a class tonight.:ohmy:

I see that it is probably too late to join this December challenge, as I see it, this thread is for more a daily accountability tool right? Any one set a January 09 exercise challenge yet? What are the rules if any? Do you just set your own goal for this thread? and report daily? Just curious I am new to LBT but have been lurking for a while. I still want to lose 70 pounds. Thanks for any info.

It is never to late to post your exercise on the monthly challenge thread. Usually Lulu or Ceradad starts the new monthly thread the first day of the month.

There are no rules. When you have time, when you remember post the exercise that you did for the day. You set you own goals. We challenge each other.

Good luck!

Okay now I know why I am so drained. I have forgotten to take my thryoid medicine for the last 7days. I called the refill into the Pharmacy and total forgot to pick it up. How crazy is that? :huh2:

No one wonder my stamnia is defunct. So I will get my RX start taking my pills and get my energy back.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
