You guys just rock!! I went back to week three to do that part over again. On Tuesday I did the first day of week four, but it hurt my knee...A LOT....so I decided to go back to week three again for the rest of this week. If it were not for that damn knee, I would be cruising it with this running. I love it too. I am soooooo damn proud of you BG!!! That is soooo awesome about the Thanksgiving Trot!!! You will do absolutely fabulous.

I went and weighed. I am not happy. Not happy at all. ACTUALLY, YOU COULD SAY PISSED OFF!!

Sometimes I am sooo dumb. I forget that I have free weekends. :tired I do not have any picture messaging though or the internet on my phone, so the pictures will have to come through my regular email. Are you guys planning on talking (chatting) in Eastern time? I want to come and join you all if I am home.

Thanks HP!

D, you are kicking ass, don't let the numbers get you down. I know, they bother me too, but I keep telling myself, that I need to stay focussed and I vent here just in case I need a pep talk or an ass kicking.

BG, 4 miles are you trying to kill me????? What is your pace? I am averaging 10 min. Miles. My pace seems to depend on how close to 100 degrees the temperature is, or if there is plenty of cloud cover.

Am I the only one to notice that the bycyling thread is becoming a running thread? I think it's amazing and a pretty natural progression. I'm just jealous that I'm not ready to run.

But when I am, watch out, cuz I'll catch ya.

J I think designing a pattern and then printing it onto Iron on transfer paper is a great idea. We should dicuss that tomorrow. We can all decided on a design and then use white shirts. Now I just need to buy an iron.

JC I am probably around 12:30-13:00 miles. I want to inrease my distance frist and then work on the speed. I am finging that as I get fitter I get faster.

Pretty soon we will all being doing Triathlons.

J, you will be hard to compete with when you start running I have no doubt.

BG, I am thinking the same way, distance first. I don't try to hit a certain speed, right now I just go at the pace that feels natural. I'm not sure if that makes sense. I guess, I don't conciuosly choose my speed is what I am trying to say. I will try to add enough distance by Thursday to keep up.

I have always dreamed of being able to do a Triathalon, ever since the first time I saw it on TV.

That would be a day that I think would TOP almost all others!!!

Can't even focuss on work right now, expecting a call telling me my truck is ready to hit the road!!!!!

JC I understand completely about the pace thing. And the reason I am starting the running is because I do want to do a Tri one day. I love swimming, I love biking, but running not so much. I am trying really hard to get into it but even if I don't love it I want to be able to do it.

jc, a triathalon would not surprise me at all coming out of you. You have the spirit and fight to do it!!!! Come on truck!!!! That was a well wishing going out to your truck!! This could become a ruunnnninnngg thread pretty easy.

It is hard not to concentrate on the numbers when you gain weight. This so freakin' sucks ass. I just want to go to bed and not get up for a few days. I just might.

You know, I am SUPPOSE to be doing homework,but I am not. I guess I should go lick my bike now.

Hi Teresa. Welcome to othe bicycling corner of the LBT.

All,

When I was in Madison they had the Ironman competition happening. Holy Cow that was a sight to see. BG and JC, you do it I'll be there to cheer you on!

I could do the 100+ miles of biking. I could maybe run a marathon. I could not swim 2 miles. Never, ever.

But, it is my understanding that swimming is the best conditioning for the other two because it helps you learn to regulate your breathing in the best way possible.

Rock ON!

      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.
