October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

GNC has a ready to drink Protein Shake out for the holidays. pumpkin Spice flavor. My wife went to pick some up today so I will give you a review on it when I have one. Pumpkin pie is my alltime favorite. One of the few foods I will miss eating in mass qty...lol Course, that is why I was as big as I was. That is all behind me now...This is a new chapter in my life and one I am loving!

I'm going to be working on a high-protein no-sugar, no crust recipe for pumpkin pie here shortly so wish me luck.

Up to 9.78 miles for the month! I feel great. Pre-op I couldn't walk one block without being out of breath, now 70 pounds lighter I'm walking across town. I love my sleeve :-D

I know this sounds boring (but I hate to cook)

I've been adding pumpkin purée pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg vanilla extract and stevia to my Greek yogurt and yum!

I have to try that, Laura.

And Gamegirl.. I'll be watching out for yours too!!

Thank you! I learned how when I was 12 years old, so I've been doing it going on 26 years now. It's relaxing to me, but I think I need to look for hobby that's a bit more active to share time with my crochet!

      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.
