My planner had Rosh Hashanoah and the phases of the moons but it doesn't have Labor Day listed. I'm such a dork! Of course it's not September 28th.

The ACC should be a blast. We'll have to decide how to make it happen.

When is that run? Maybe I'll do it with you.

It is on October 4th, so unless you can do 2 Michigan weekends...

You could always bring the mini you if you have her. There is a kids fun mile that both of mine will be running in again. And either Dan or my mom will be there watching the kids while I run.

D you are a hill monster!

Our ride this weekend is supposed to be hilly. I'm actually excited. My cycling fever kind of wained this season. I think it had everything to do with falling down over and over again. That and grad school kicking my bootie.

Anyway, I'm excited at the prospect of riding which is a change, indeed. I knew if I just kept at it it would turn around.

BTW, on my way to Whole Foods. I'm at home with a child who's just a little sick...I've got laundry caught up, I'm making a gourmet dinner and will mow the lawn before long. I could be a SAHM...well for one day a week!

October 4th for the 10K? Yeah, I'll plan on it!

I'll have the mini and they can run. (I heart calling her the mini!) She needs to see K & J anyway. It will be fun.

I put it in my planner. Now I have to do it!

I knew that you were not riding a lot this season, and I am so glad you are getting back into it now.

Dang J you are on fire. All I have done is worked my bootie off today. I plan on taking a nap when I get home and getting some running in later. It is nasty hot and muggy outside and my air is broken. That mean I will probably go to the gym. Oh and I am taking an deep Water aqua jog class mondays and wednesday starting next week lol. food has been pretty good for me today also.

Oh and I am doing some major Muddy Buddy shopping in Royal Oak/ Ferndale tomorrow. If I can't find something good then I will order the shirts online. Do you happen to have picture messaging on your phone so I can send pictures of what I find?

And yeah that would be awesome to do the ROR with you. Here is the link. http://www.oakwood.org/?id=1240&sid=1

I got Crank Bros clipless @$%^&^*@!! pedals. On my 5th fall I moved to a hybrid SPD system with walk around shoes. The pedals are a platform on one side and an SPD on the other.

My walk around shoe got stuck to the pedal and I had to throw them away. So I switched the cleats off of my road shoes to SPDs and I use them on the hybrid pedal. But the platform doesn't do too well with the road shoe.

It's a mess.

I do use my road shoes for my spinning class, however.

So now do I just change my pedals out to typical SPD's or do I get a new set of walk around shoes? Either way it's going to cost me another $50.

But yeah, I fell just standing. I fell slowing down. I've crotched myself for my shoes slipping on the pedals. I nearly panic at every stop sign. It's getting better but yeah. It's not pretty.

J, oh my, I am sorry. I have Shimano pedals, with SPD shoes....I just love them. I fell three times. Now, I unclip before I get to stop, although I have not fell for the last two months...so doing good. Sorry about your troubles.

BG, food choices suck sometimes. Its so much easier to eat what we want instead of what we should....I try to tell myself when I am eating badly, "This is how I became a cow......" and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I wonder if it EVER gets easier with food. I doubt it.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
