every single step you take counts

well done sweet heart

Hi carolinagirl and everyone. I started wii zumba basics today didn't last too long but fun so will get some of the steps down then step it up. Low sugar tonight didn't eat as much as I thought I would and got down to 50. Coming out of it slow but sure took a few glucose tabs. Have a good night.

changed it up.......instead of doing my step aerobics today, i wanted to walk

it was like 70s, mild, slightly breezy and gorgeous (no sun) but it felt wonderful

so i got on my pink nikes and off we went...let me say walking down and then back up an incline

works your thighs..i dont care who you are, male/female old, young, fat or not..

pick up the pace and you got a helluva work out

and then off to the new char grill.......ordered me the 3 oz burger (took off bun) hub cut it up

into pieces (ate the lett/tom/on mixed with my beef pattie) and let me sy it was awesome

anyone who says they cant eat good with the band hasnt asked me....will continue to eat well, exercise and let the band do its job....

which is make me healthier each/every day......

Today I walked as far as I could go until hips hurt but I'm increasing. WTG to me!! I feel great about that. I am working the zumba and waking and tomorrow starting with my stretch bands. We'll see how that works. Should be good for upper body. Night all. Kudos to everyine. Be safe!

Sending thoughts your way, Sunnyside, and best wishes for a connecting, healing time with your family while you navigate this loss. And yes, the working out is essential -- these human bodies need care and attention. Time for all of us to step it up in the name of healthy happy lives for all the time we get to have.

Oh, and my report! 20 recumbent bike (warmup), 40 treadmill, 20 Bowflex then so fired up from getting it together on a Saturday morning I got my husband to walk five times around our driving circle with me, a half a mile. Feeling like I can keep going is definitely new to me.

Yesterday was lap swimming for me. ... Omg I swim like a rock! ...Im serious. ..I think I used to be better. But, did finish the 500 meters needed for a sprint tri.

A 5km run coming up at 5pm today in a little town down the street from me. Going to have a good time. .. no matter the "time". But I've got a goal today.

Enjoy your Saturday everyone! :)

Was a nice turnout today for the "Freaky 5k" http://connect.garmin.com/activity/392728161

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

        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.

      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
