Nsv - One Small Step



Recommended Posts

Ok, so here in the Uk we have a charity called sport relief, and one of their national events is a mile long fun run (tiny, I know).

Mid week I decided I had to do it, so my 8 yo and I signed up thursday, yesterday my DH and 4yo son decided to walk it, and make it a family event, and today we did it!!

I know its a tiny step, but puffing and panting across that finish line hand in hand with my daughter was the greatest feeling!!

11 mins 50 sec is hardly athletic, but we did it, and in sporting terms it is

the only thing I've completed in all of my 32 years!

My daughter and I are going to put our names down for a 5k in june, I've been invited by a friend to do another in August, and our local half marathon is September - dare I dream that big?? ;)

Cludgie, that is AWESOME!!! 12 Minute mile (less than even!) is not that bad... c'mon lady give yourself some credit because it is due. No matter what though, it's more about finding enjoyable activities, especially those you can do as a family. Lotsa hugs and keep up with that spirit!!! I'm so happy for you. :)

That is great! It is so much fun being able to do things like that with our kids, isn't it? Just to think not long ago we would have been too worn out or too embarrassed to even try.

Congratulations! An 11:50 mile on your first try is pretty darn good! You can absolutely complete any running goal you set your mind to do. Most half marathon training programs run from 4-6 months so definitely doable. ;)

      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?

      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.
