Recommended Posts

I excited! Girl friend and I started doing the http://www.c25k.com

It's freaking awesome!

She contacted me because she gained the 60lbs back over the last few years that she had lost doing this before, to see if I would like to be her workout buddy. It's a blast! Today will be day 3, it's probably Water weight but I'm already down 2lbs :)

Anyone else done this or interested in joinin in and lettin is know how y'all are doing. We started Friday took before pix and measurements so when the scale is not our friend we can see measurable results. Wish us luck! Next run is today in about an hour.

7th day jogging straight' date=' almost totaling 15miles :)

6th day of C to 25k[/quote']

Wait - are you working on a 5K (ya know 3.1 miles) or 25K (16miles)?? when u say 15 miles do you mean total of all of your days or are you really running that much daily? that seems like too much. I have friends that are avid runners and they don't run 15 miles unless training for a marathon.

If you.are doing a C 2 5K I think it ostensibly awesome! I did my first 5k march 31st and my second is next week!!!

I love your program, hope i can do it someday as i would love to be a runner ! Im pretty stiff and have trouble loosening up even a little. i swim and took a yoga class this am. The instructor told me it may take a long time to stretch out my body with yoga, but to also try tai chi. she said not to do pilates as it is too much stretching for me at this point. Anyone else have any advice ?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
