Love it! So true. I walked twice today. Once forgot my pedometer but it's like you said! Going to the mountains tomorrow for a couple days to Celebrate my 40th wedding anniversary. Hope to get some hiking in.

i came home today..switched into my work out clothes

and did my step aerobics...30 min on a 4 inch step

my right ankle hurt alittle bit as i was in heels all day and

felt like i walked back and forth from vp's office and back

(felt good to be able to do that btw and actually commented to a co worker about that.

but i did my aerobics and felt wonderful when i was done

and today with each step i was thinking, one more step towards my goal..

hope those checking in with their account are doing well also

Got a gym membership yesterday and walked a mile on the treadmill (not that much compared to everyone else), but it was an accomplishment just to get into the gym, sign up, and go back then do a mile on the treadmill.

You went and did it. That is the accomplishment! Don't compare yourself to someone else...you went! You did your best...you made the most important step....THE FIRST ONE! Congrats....now just Never, Ever give up :)

Okay, heading off to the basement for an abbreviated workout. I have 3-4 days of intense working out (for me, anyway) with a cousin -- 20 bike to warmup, 40 treadmill, 20 BowFlex -- but I need to do something on my own on these other days, even if it's just a nod in the right direction. Oh, and doing my husband's PT exercises with weights in bed each morning. After a year of thinking these look like excellent exercises for any one needing core work, I finally got my own little set of hand weights. These exercises are amazing and now he's working harder, too.

Went to the gym Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. Met with the personal trainer yesterday and he have me a workout to follow. Every day this week I've done at least a mile on the treadmill. Not going to go today because I need to spend some time with my kids & need to do a million things when I get home. But I did walk during my break at work.

Went out of town to Celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and got word last night my first cousin who is closer than a brother to me passed away during thyroid surgery (4 heart attacks), Needless to say it changed the tone of things and my desire to workout. Gotta get through the next few days and I will. Carry on and say a prayer or hold a good thought for my family. He was one of the good guys and way too young.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
