Couch To 5K -- Anyone Want To Join Me?



Recommended Posts

Well I started, stopped due to laziness and snow storms, started again, then stopped again due to illness, I have re-started yet again, and tonight did w2 d3, I am still run down, and managed to skip both Breakfast and lunch before my run, so I wasn't in the best place, and it felt very hard work, BUT I did 3.07 miles in 33 mins (which is 4.95 k - sooo close to the 5k mark!!), and in just the last couple of weeks my mile time has gone from 12.50, to 10.45.

I have asthma, and have always struggled to recover after exercise, and any serious cardio has made me really chesty for a couple of days afterwards, in the last couple of weeks that seems to have passed, I got very breathless in the last two runs tonight, and sounded like a walrus, but I recovered well afterwards, and no irritation to my chest at all now.

I am really surprised at how quickly I am feeling the difference, this is great, and I am determined to rock my first proper 5k by the time it arrives!

      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.
