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. :)

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
