Did I mention how HUGE the plate of spaghetti was?? Probably two cups or more. LOL and to think that a week ago I could barely eat. I am hoping it is because of all the weight I have lost. I weigh tomorrow.

D I weigh in tomorrow too. I am scared. Only because this restriction sucks so much ass that if I did not lose weight I will probably cry. I just looked at the leftover pizza in the fridge thinking damn that wold probably taste really good. I considered carving it into the shape of a bike and then licking it. I also bought some chocolate milk last night for DH that I refuse to take a taste of until after I weigh in. This is the good stuff people, straight from the dairy and such chocolatly creamy goodness that you can not drink more that a few sips without being ill.

So yesterday i had to help out at the information seminar for my surgeon last night. The coordinator thought she would be funny and blow up my before picture (the one with the good awful sweats and headband on day of surgery and put it right next to me at the sign in table. Dr. Bacal came in and looked at it and said "oh look at how nerdy you looked" :D That was pretty much the face I gave him lol. But I looked super hot last night lol. Anyhow I had a fun time.

And I ran about 3.5 miles after I got out of work yesterday. I can not believe that I can run. I was not going to say anything but what the hell I want to be held accountable for it. I have officially started training for the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. It is a 10K race. I obviously do not plan on winning but I plan on finishing. If for some reason I can't get up to doing the 6.2 miles then there is a 5K (called the Stuffing Strut lol) that I can do instead. But I really want to this. I have wanted to for a long time.

What time are we all going to chat tommrow nite??? I am planning on working in the morning, riding in the afternoon...and eating in the evening...LOL

J...I need to get the sugar out of my system as well. I am still allowing myself a soda or 2 a day, and NOT LOOSING!!! My diet is ok, just not the added calories of the soft drink....I brought OJ and Unjury for this morning....need to kick it back up. This will be the first time, if I dont do something drastic over the weekend, that I will go to the doct, and not loose any....Allot has been stress in my life, but holy crap....this needs to stop. I am never going to hit 250, or 200 if I dont change my bad habits.

Well, I am at work, check in lter

HP I never thought I would be doing this a few months ago. I can't believe I can actually run and not feel like I am going to die. In February I could barely walk 30 minutes without feeling super sore and doing it very slowly. It is the most amazing feeling.

When I hit 199 I am probably going to cry. And Again at like 189 since that will be the offcial lowest weight I have been since becoming an adult. Hell it will be the lowest weight I have been since about 8th grade.

HP get a fill like mine and you could kiss the soda goodbye lol.

No don't really do that. Honestly though the OJ is not much better calorie wise. Unless it is low cal OJ.

Anytime tomorrow is good for me. Does anyone have anything pressing that they can only be there at a certain time?

BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are on FIRE! I think it's fantastic to train for the Turkey Trot. You can double your distance in 10 weeks. You know you can. You have your cheerleaders right here!

GO STACY, GO STACY!

D- I have Sprint, but I don't pay the $5 for unlimited sprint to sprint. Regardless I have a billion weekend minutes, so it's not an issue. We'll have JC with his fancy phone/web browser take pictures and send them instantly too. JC, you've been volunteered.

Is 8pm on a Saturday night Eastern Time too pathetic for us to chat? Shouldn't we be out having fun or something? I'll be out riding earlier in the day, and like HP, I'll be back home and eating/resting right about then, so I'll be there.

I'm meeting Alison in Toledo tonight and we are going on a 23 mile ride tomorrow. Then I'm driving back home. This LDR thing just sucks sometimes.

Happy Friday ya'll.

Well J at least you get to see her!

The training plan seems simple enough. 3x a week. Two of the days are ust 30 minute runs and the third is the "long run" which increases by 1 mile every other week (2 weeks at 3 miles, two weeks at 4 miles, two weeks at 5 miles, etc) and then 3 days of cross training (obviously biking riding for me) and the day before your long run is a rest day. I am really excited. The Turkey Trot comes with a tshirt and you know I love a good tshirt.

8pm is not pathetic. We should be spending our day inside and then coming in to talk to our freinds. It's our night out on the computer lol.

The funny thing is I am not sore today but yesterday my quads hurt so bad that i got stuck on the toilet and could not push myself up with my legs. Of course this happened at work....

"Just 30 minute runs" Like that's not huge! You have got to be proud! I know I'm inspired.

Getting stuck on the toilet is kind of funny though. It must have resolved somehow because you're not there anymore. "help...help?! I'm stuck, help..."

Yeah, I'm happy to see her this weekend. It's the first time since we got home from vacation, so 5 weeks...and next week we'll be in a tent with new friends close by and a 6 year old a few feet away. I might have been a little frustrated. And we've got another long spell coming up with out seeing each other...so it's is a good thing. :D

Anything time wise works for me.

J if you and the lady want some alone time the girls can always have a slumber party in my tent. It's not like I am going to be getting any that weekend so someone else might as well get some.

I had to use the sink and handicap bar to push myself up.

I am proud of the running. It is funny how 30 minutes does not even seem like a very big deal anymore.

I will do whatever works best for the group. I usually don't go out until 11:00 or so on the weekend!

BG, dang, you are setting the bar higher for me. Just when I finally reach 3 Miles and about 25 yards, you hit 3.5 !!!!!!!! WayToGo!!!!!! Now I have to stop slacking and step up! Thank You and congrats it feels good to be part of a group like this! I am proud to call all of you friends.

B, where ya hiding? How are you?

BTW I don't remember if I posted it here or not, but I am back down to within 4 pounds of my ticker.

      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.
