4.5 on the stationary bike and 1 mile on the elliptical plus 5 for yesterday's spin class brings me to 42.6 so far. Nothing like a little healthy competition to make you push yourself!

The bikes in my gym don't have a digital display. Bummer. I was thinking I would give myself 5 miles for the spin class if it's OK w/ Butterthebean and every one.

I think you should give yourself more...I peeked at my monitor today at around the 45 minute mark and it was 13.7. I rode 18.9 miles in 62 minutes.

I'm okay with whatever you do but 5 miles seems low for 45 mins.

Well, thanks Georgia, I have to give credit to our instructor...she is a die-hard (outdoor) biking enthusiast (her idea of a leisurely weekend is a 2 day bike race...LOL) She pushes us HARD (nicely...darn it she is so sweet but tough!) and I do love the feeling after I walk out of there dripping in sweat!

due to very bad storms rolling through the northeast, I was only able to exercise on my stationary bike at a moderate-high resistance for a half hour for a total of 8 miles today. So far my best day! My grand total is now 36.86 miles toward my goal. Thank you all for keeping me in line...I love a good challenge!

+5 miles today running for 88 total. I did another grueling crossfit WOD today and will do one more tomorrown and, phew, rest over the weekend. 5 for 5 this week cross fit sessions. I know, a big no-no. :) Next week, I will get on the "3 on, 1 off" schedule.

By the way 6 lovely holes on my two hands after today's WOD.

Here is my right hand cleaned up showing 2 new large holes (was bleeding with skin falling off after round 1 of 5 today):

Caused by 16 pull-ups in the set of exercises per round. The coach said grin and bear it. I did. I think this is just a phase every cross fitter goes through.

Update: feels better today with Neosporin. I am going to try wearing some training gloves from now on.

        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!

      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
