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 =)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
