January fitness challenge

750 yards swimming. Really was not feeling it. Fluff...I know you can relate to this since you swim regularly....but it hurt my broken toe to kick my feet in the freestyle. I could do side stroke and breast stroke with no pain. Those frog kicks didn't seem to bother me. Unfortunately I suck at breast stroke....and both of those strokes are more tiring to me so I did not get my full distance. I hope I can return to running in a couple of days. Meanwhile...here's a little piggy that is nicely swollen.

OMG BUTTER!! And you still go on...you're my hero!

Poor Butter. I can relate. I was thinking you might try to buddy tape that, but I'm not sure if it would work. Does your pool have swim fins? It might hurt like a b***h to put them on but they would probably support that toe.

Even so, 750 m is completely respectable, especially doing uncomfortable strokes! Good for you.

Maybe try taping across the foot, just to support it?

Man, Butter, that looks painful! Does icing it help? Maybe taping the toes for support?

OK, so I've still got bronchitis and a really nasty cough, however I made myself use the treadmill got in 4 miles before I felt like dying, couldn't make myself go to the gym(on the plus side we're having a huge snowstorm so I think they closed early anyhow) so MTD- 6 miles

My goal for January is 16 hours of exercise. I'm hoping to start c25k too, but that will depend on my back getting/staying healthy.

I'm going to BR in Feb. I had my surgery after participating in a long term study at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Facility. As part of the study I need to go back at 6 months post-op, 1 yr, 2 yrs, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, and 5 yrs. I live on the Westbank in New Orleans.

      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
