W6d2 was hard! I had to run slow for the last interval. But I did it! This is when the rubber hits the road and each day just gets harder. I remember it from before. I will do it. Sheer determination. Friday I will be 2/3 of the way there.

Keep it up Mistysj. Your a winner!!

I'm just getting ready to do w3d1 today after kids go to school. It has taken me forever to get here, I still have my hernia... Getting fixed soon so I'm going slow. Not sure if I can run 3 minutes, but we will see. My weight loss has really slowed, guess with all my exercising I need to up my good calories...I will report in later!

Finished W8D2 today (28min run). It felt good and I wasn't struggling to finish it. Looking forward to finishing the program, but I don't run fast enough to finish a 5K in 30 min so my plan is to add about 3 min a week until I'm up to 40 min. My next 5K is Oct 5 at Disney. Looking for a race to run in November and December to keep me motivated.

What races have you all signed up for?

Ok, I did it! W3D1..I really didn't think I could run the minutes but I did! Then I actually did the treadmill for an additional 30 minutes, ten of those on the highest incline... I don't think I will be sitting anytime soon... My butt muscles are killing me!

Well, to liven things up. I'm finished C25K a while back, but I'm giving myself a new challenge starting tomorrow. 100 miles in 30 days. By far the most I've ever done....here goes.

Wow that is impressive, Butter!

I finished W6D3 today! A 15-minute run, 5 minute walk, then 5 minute run at the end. Wow!

W7D1 is a 20-minute run, straight!

You'll do it. You don't sound like a quitter (is that an actual word?) to me. Run on!

I finished my 2.0 mile run this am. Thank you God! On to my Labor Day 5K. Last one I did in 49 min so my goal this time is 45 min. Slow but steady says the turtle. ;-)

      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.
