Three goals in one day!



Recommended Posts

Hooray!!!!

I set three initial goals for myself...to complete couch to 5k, to get under 200 and to weigh less than my husband. At the time the 200 and my husband's weight were further apart, but the whole family has been eating better since my surgery so he's lost weight as well (he didn't have a lot to lose just 20lbs or so).

Anyhow yesterday I met all three goals on the same day!!!! 3.5 months out and down just over 71lbs. 199.8! And finished my last couch to 5k run...2.5 miles in 30 minutes.

Need to find a way to celebrate/reward myself. Any ideas?

I kind of did the same thing two weeks ago. Finished C25k and fell below 200 pounds. Started on the 10k trainer last week. I hope to be able to complete a half marathon by the end of the year.

Awesome! Which 10k trainer are you using? I need to find one. I am signed up for 5k's in April and May and a 10k in August!

Love the massage idea especially! Thanks =)

      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.
