2.1 miles walked on Friday

1.65 walked & 4.75 cycled on Saturday

So 8.5 so far this weekend

9.56 for month, 2 hrs of Zumba, 30 mins of Wii Biggest Loser workout & 20 mins of weight training

Not quite where I wanted to be but 9.56 miles is still a lot more than I use to move! :)

From today's 10K.

Lookin good, BTB!! Are you running in those flat/Merrell-type shoes? The kind that are like five-fingers, but without the separated toes? I can't tell for sure from the photo cos it's so small LOL. If so, how does that work for you? I have a pair since about a year now and I walk (fast LOL) in them to the gym and work out in them, but I haven't tried anything high impact with them.

Those are the Vibram 5 finger shoes. I do 90% of my running in those. I do have the Merrell trail gloves and road gloves. They are both great shoes and excellent for running as long as your form is good.

Ah, I see -- I couldn't see the toes in the picture. LOL. The five-fingers (NONE of them) don't fit me cos I have freakishly long finger toes LOL. But I love the Merrell non-toe ones -- they're called gloves? I want to buy some more when I'm in the US, but I've no clue what they're called cos I bought the pair I have now in Europe.

ETA: Ha! Just looked at the label INSIDE the shoe -- go figure, it's called Lithe Glove Dark Shadow. :) :ph34r:

3 miles of walking on Saturday and 2 miles of running today with strength training Workout. Surprisingly, some body aches that I thought were "normal" went away when I took Friday and Saturday off from serious fitness.

Tomorrow is going to be the start of pure cross fit (3 days on, 1 day off) for next 6 months (will pretty much stop all at home workouts). I am excited! I will continue to put in the running miles as a recreational activity. I will probably reduce to 5 a day outside of running done in crossfit WOD.

Here are the Merrell's that I like and use occasionally. These are the road gloves and I also have the trail gloves.

Walked 2.6 miles today so that brings my total to 30.6. We were planning to go on a bike ride on a section of the trail we've never rode before this morning but I was having some tummy trouble so pushing my body didn't seem prudent. I was feeling better by 4pm so at least we got out and enjoyed the beautiful day!

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2; 5 month post-op 262.6; 6 month post-op 253.2

Well, today has not been an active one. Since my "nap" extended from 2:30-6:30! Ha! Have only managed a mile or so today. Gonna try to kick out a couple more but with the one that outs my total since Monday at 29.5.

I'm quite proud of that since I have been walking an average of 2 miles 4 times a week! :)

Good work,all! Think of all those calories burned!!!

      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.
