2 miles this morning. 5 total so far. Now I get to put on a suit and go to a wedding for people I don't even know. Wedding reception food is always so healthy......NOT. Worst part is it's one of those "no booze" kinda weddings. Seriously, how do people get married without booze? I don't even drink but a wedding makes me wanna start.

Have a great weekend everybody.

Day 1: 4.5 miles of walking. Super painful hips by evening however, not sure whether to blame the walk or Thursday night's attempt at running. I have bursitis in both hips and I'm worried this flare up was caused by the run.

Color me not happy. :-(

Wannabe fitness freak here! I'm 30 pounds from my goal weight of 199 and i have a consultation for my TT December 3rd, so I'm kicking it into full gear this month. I cant think of any goals to set for myself aside from losing about 15 pounds this month. I'd really appreciate some ideas. I started cycling the other day, taking a gander at the couch to 5k thing, and I've started to use the punching bag at the gym. I do 80 squats, 80 jumping jacks, 100 crunches, and 80 leg lifts...5 days a week. Can you guys help me with picking out a goal?

So I could be totally wrong but I think you're totally on the right path to overall fitness and stamina. How about increasing the 80 squats to 90, and add 25 crunches etc? Just beef up what you're already doing by a little.

I want to run my first 5k next year so I'm going to start jogging as part of my walking regimen. This morning I jogged 3 minites intermittently. I want to jog 5 minites straight and walk for 20.

You guys are an inspiration. My surgery is in 3 weeks. I look forward to being able to exercise. Right now, walking more than 10 minutes is exhausting. I also have COPD and asthma, which I am hoping improves after weight loss.

      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.
