Well SOME of us have to write a mini thesis just to get in all our workouts. So for those SOME, I'm guessing they wouldn't stoop to count their "arm miles". The rest of us poor schmucks have to make do with whatever we can get! :) Is it helping with your back?

yes, it helps so much!

Okay, I know less now but I'm sure I drove through some of those. Ha!

I drove back through Cleveland today on my way home!!! ????. Didn't see you anywhere. LOL.

So, not upset with the fact that I put in over 35 miles of walking on my cruise!!! And THOUSANDS of stairs. NSV. The fact that I Would have NEVER Preferred the stairs over the elevator!!!

Total to date. 79.6 miles!!

Welcome home. Unfortunately I'm in San Antonio for the weekend. That's why you didn't see me. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Well I'm just gonna check in once to say I'm not gonna hit my goal. More than halfway thru the month and not one strength training class yet. Ugh. I'm just not an exercise maven even though I know the strength training helps keep me heathy as I age.

Don't give up. Strive for half your goal. You've got half a month left. Don't let it go by without bettering yourself. You can still take action.

It was 78 here in STL with lots of storms and wind. One minute sunny, next minute 50 hour winds, rain storms and 5 minutes later clear. Last weekend it was almost 70 Sunday and by Monday evening in the 30s and same on Tuesday and back to 50. I have a cold now came on Thursday so only got 3.5 miles in fo rthe week. This past week was my first week back to work full-time and wore me out more than I thought it would.

I should be able to make my goal by the end of the month.

ok. You've shamed me into it. I will still strive for four. Taskmaster! I want an autographed pic too if I make it. Why should LVIV have all the fun?

Hey, I really hate strength training sessions, but I make myself go, just go try one then at least you can tell the rest of us how much you don't like them.

The first one is the hardest,(actually working up the courage to go in the door of the gym was the hardest thing!), but oddly enough I usually feel pretty good the next day.

Well I'm just gonna check in once to say I'm not gonna hit my goal. More than halfway thru the month and not one strength training class yet. Ugh. I'm just not an exercise maven even though I know the strength training helps keep me heathy as I age.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
