Running & Insanity Workout! Ay!



Recommended Posts

I'm back to training for a 5k, a Half marathon and thinking of braving my 2nd full marathon.

In between my running I do the "Insanity" program. It's an awesome program and you get toned fast. What gets to me is, I can feel all the muscle tone and the 6pack on my abs BUT thank you loose skin-you hide my success all too well! One day my evil friend I will have u removed for life!

Anyone else training for any distance marathons?

Once cleared, I plan on training for next years Avon Breast Cancer Walk in San Francisco. 33.9 miles. I did it in 2009 (while weighing280lbs) and since then have had surgery on both knees and now my RNY. I can't wait to feel the difference when I don't have so much to carry with me. :)

Thank you! I'm sure it will be possible to finish it this time. Last time I walked all but the last 7 miles due to extreme knee swelling. I can't wait to be out there again! :) It was such an awesome event.

      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.
