Give you energy? Yeah....it's like one of those Ponzi schemes.....you get you're later.

Haha Butter... I kept waiting for it to show up... (p.s. like your new profile pic also!!)

So now I'm at 84.9 miles for the month.

Started back to my women & weights class this week and the fitness center messed up and allowed 8 women (should be capped at 6) to join the group, so the instructor is mad and she is trying to get two "yoga" ladies to be frustrated enough to quit. Oh my. Talk about a punishing workout! :blink:

Here's goes - my first update of my progress for the month. I've been going to the gym about 3 times per week for the last 2 weeks (I started a bit early). I wasn't working out at ALL before, so that is a win in itself :D. My goal is 20 hours this month and I'm at 6 hours so far. I also wanted to be able to hold a 1 minute plank and do 25 consecutive push ups. I am at a 40 second plank and 10 push ups.

I'm starting to work with a personal trainer next week and I can't wait! I'm already thinking of goals for December.

Thanks for starting this thread - I'm finally getting off my butt and motivated. :P

Hey! When I was doing my 45 min of walking on the treadmill today, I started doing running intervals of one minute whenever I felt like it.

Over the course of the 45 minutes, I ran for 11!!! Yay me!!

Nice job. That's how it starts. Next thing you know you'll be doing half marathons.

I'm up to 29.8 miles for the month. 10 more days till I get full release to run again.

Had an awesome Monday and Tuesday. 12.5 miles for the 2 days combined. My best 2 day walking total so far. Still feeling great! Cold weather has moved in, takes your breath away but feels great! So, my total for the month now stands at 56.45 miles.

Finally able to get on here! So glad most of the bugs are worked out. Any who, my Fitbit report said that so far this month, I'm at 15.75 miles, which is halfway to my 30 mile goal. Today I was also cleared for real exercise. Time to kick it up!

Hi all! I haven't posted in a long time. I have gotten in 34 miles total. I have mostly done the exercise bike. But, about 6 of these miles are from walking/running using the C25K app. I'm into my second week and I'm feeling great. I don't know if I'll make 125 miles this month but I will try! I just got through reading a lot of posts...everyone is doing fantastic!

Y'all are doing great folks.

I'm fledging along....one more week till I get released. I'm up to 32.2 miles.

Will you be released for FULL ON exercise...lifting, etc. nothing held back? Or is it granted in "stages"...just curious!

      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.
