The cat came back, the very next day- the cat came back- he couldn't stay away

I did week 6 day 1. I just can't go back, it's like rereading a book or watching a movie twice in a month. NEVER, I say!! O_O

So I did this below. It was so soooo hot even at 8:15 pm-9. Humidity about stopped me but I kept on. Poured Water over my head when I got to the van.

Congrats on moving ahead Amy. I do the same thing at the end of my run. The Water over the head is so cold sometimes it takes my breath away. Which actually feels good. (I'm weird I know it). Lol

How terrible is it to do this 2 days in a row? I kinda want to do it again today.

Not terrible Amy. Have fun!! Stretching and rolling after a run will help your legs feel better for running the next day. Listen to your body and you will know if consecutive run days is terrible for you or not.

Amy great job :) glad your back on track! I wouldn't know about the satisfaction of not going back because its all I've done...

Fiddle I've never progressed past week one.

I'm admitting defeat on c25k this morning.

Happy running guys!

I know you will find something you really enjoy soon enough laura. I remember you saying you can spend hours kayaking. That sounds like it would be great for you if you have access to that on a regular basis. :) I think that is key. You need to enjoy what you are doing.

I actually did start that program once but at almost 60 my knees would hold up. Arthur. So I went back to brisk pace walking and my gazelle low impact exercise machine. I have never been and will never be um, shall we say, aerobic minded. Lol. In fact one of my favorite verses I. The Bibles is "Bodily exercise profited little!" Hee hee. ( I know it's out of context but its my LIFE VERSE!).

You need to read the whole chapter or verses "around" the verse in question and not take it alone to mean something it wasn't intended to mean. The word "exercise" actually was the Greek word for Training not lifting weights. :)

      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.
