anyone want to train for a half marathon with me?

Heather,

Hang in there. It is completely normal to have little restriction after 2 fills, even 3 fills. Just do your best and keep up the workouts and try to eat healthy. Maybe your Doc will give you another fill a little early.

I jogged 2 miles today non stop. A big break through for me. Haven't done that for a LONG time. My knees are sore, but I know that I can do it now!

I like the Protein shakes from costco. They are 160 calories, 5 grams of carbs/sugar and 30 grams of Protein which is great! They taste pretty good too, and they last a good hour to two hours before I get hungry again.

I like them better than protein bars because the bars taste like carboard.

I have also tried protein powder. I like to put 2 tbsp. of powder in a smoothie that I make at home. To keep it low calorie, I put in a banana, a cup of frozen mixed berries, a cup of skim milk and blend. No yogurt.

Okay,

I hit two knew lows today!. I am officially 245 lbs which I haven't been that low for over 2 years! My goal was to be 246 lbs by today and I beat that number!

Also, I jogged 2.5 miles today non-stop. I'm hoping I will do this again on Thursday. My knees are sore though, so we'll see.

No sure were you are in Kansas bubblegum, but Olathe is having a marathon on the 28 of March. That may be too soon, but I am going to do the 5k there.

Hi all. I am actually in week 2 of training for the MORE marathon in NYC last Sunday of April. Today I did (with a group) a little over 4 miles in 1 hour. That was walking, Outide at 8am in 11-14 degrees. This is a very exciting time for us. This will be my first 1/2 marathon. Good luck to everyone one. :thumbup:.. remember Put one step in front of the other. That way you are always a step ahead of yourself!

Go Banders!

Good luck & Best Wishes

Maranda

Hello All,

I am frustraited. My right knee is not doing so well. I did 2.5 miles last Monday and Wednesday, but my knee said no for my Friday workout. I ended up going to the gym on Sunday and working out on the Eliptical for 55 minutes and completed 4 miles. It was great.

However today I am suppossed to jog again and my knee won't let me. I hope it will be better by Wednesday. I also realized that I am suppossed to be up to 4 miles by the end of this month, up to 8 miles by the end of March and up to 12 miles by the end of April. I feel overwhelmed because of my darn knees!

At least the weight is coming off.

Where is everybody at for their 1/2 marathon plans?

I did a 10K and jogged the whole thing two weeks ago! I am very proud of myself. Although I was hoping to be ready for a 1/2 marathon by now, I will do one in October.
