I am so proud of myself. On Sunday, with all my friends and family watching, I completed the 2006 Danskin Women's Triathlon at Disney (1/4-mile swim; 9 mile bike; then a 2 mile run). It was such an emotional time, not only for my weight loss goal, but that the event supports breast cancer research and many of the participants are survivors. I started training for it just after New Year's and met my fitness goal 63 lbs. lighter. I teared up at the check-in, the start line, running through Cinderella's Castle and down right broke down at the finish line. What a feeling! I'm still in the clouds.

That's an AWESOME achievement. Huge congratulations. You must feel incredible about having done that.

I need some more running clothes. Well another sports bra at least. I'm waiting for them to finish in the dryer so I can do my 5km. I think I'll do an interval program today.

Me too! I am finding that I'm having to wash clothes daily just to get my sports bras and sauna outfits in form for the next workout. I need 5 workout outfits, since I already have 2, so that I can have one for everyday of the week.:cry They are expensive though. Anything health related, (running pants, sports bras, sneakers) are all marked up. It's almost like the makers are saying, "Oh so you wanna get in shape do you? Well you'll have to pay big!"

I'm out of town and out of whack...

I did a nature walk of very little distance but lots of uphill stuff on Friday.

Took yesterday off.

Today I'm going to try and walk the area I'm in. I'm waaaaaaaay back in the mountains. I think it's a steady slight incline up to the house I'm staying.

I love visiting friends but MAN it messes up my groove! Monday I'm back in the saddle with my regular routine.

Hehe, Tellymelly, I gotta have that bra. I couldnt run without it, I'd knock myself out. I also find yep, I need proper wicking running gear because I run on the treadmill inside a lot of the time. Its winter here, the heating is on, it gets really hot! I throw open the sliding door and the treadmill has fans on it, but it still gets really hot.

I have 3 kids though. The washing is horrendous, its like a full time job.

      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.
