Regular daily walk with DH and DDog - DH is trying to get me to start jogging, so we jogged a couple of blocks. Note to self - get REAL running shoes!:)

Walked from train station to office building. No lunchtime walk - rain and a meeting got in the way, but will walk to train station tonight and take DDog for a second walk when I get home (at some point tonight, because I have a meeting after work!)...

Saturday-tried a crossfit gym. Great workout in a short amount of time. If you haven't heard of crossfit, check it out.

Yesterday-no official workout. Went to a local amusement park for about 7 hrs. Lots of walking

This morning-4 mile run followed by 35 minutes on elliptical. Tonight will be chest and abs.

Good morning All!^_^

Wonderful weekend weather contributed to getting in a couple of nice long walks Saturday and Sunday, in addition to the usual walk with DDog and my DH in the morning. Feels good to WANT to walk versus wanting to avoid it, like I did pre-band.

Today, started a jog/walk routine with DH. Before I was banded we tried this and my DH spent most of his time waiting for me to catch up and worrying about me dropping dead in behind him :lol:

This morning, I was able to keep up with him and even passed him a couple of times. I'm down 55 lbs and feeling really GOOD. Didn't feel any unusual racing of my heart (I had an a-fib episode before being banded) and I'm looking forward to jogging more. Goal is to be at 3 miles before winter makes us move inside.

Going to look up the Couch-to-5k program again...:crying:

Kept up my walking the past few days - doing the C25K program at my own pace. Got too excited and jog/walked three days in a row and paid for it with some "hints" at shin splints on Monday morning. Guess I'll have to take it a bit slower...

Walk this morning was good - usual route with DDog, then walked from the train station to my office building. Will do a walk at lunchtime and another from my office building to the train station tonight.

Not giving up on the C25K program - will go back to the jog/walk tomorrow morning...have a great day, all!:smile2:

You people are leading me down the path, LOL. I get up at 5:00 AM and walk 4 miles almost every morning. So i'm reading in this sectio of LBT and somebody mentions "wogging". I laughed at the word but this morning, I "wogged".....It wasn't as bad as I thought. I mean, I've never run anywhere in my life. It didn't wind me or anything, so I suppose I'll "wog" farther each time tomorrow.

Been hanging in there, going to the gym most days after work. This week, I'm repeating week 3 of the c25k. Got through it last week and don't feel ready to move on. The last 3 minute run kicks my butt.

I know, I know...I'm like the jackass in the Budweiser commercials. You all = clydesdales. Me = the jackass.

LOL

      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? 🤷‍♀️
