I just signed up for a virtual run and thought this may be something others would be interested in. You sign up just like you would for a regular 5k race, but you can do it on your own, outside or in a gym, and log your hours when you're done. No pressure!

I decided to do it to keep myself motivated to exercise and run, and also to try to get some local running buddies to train with. (It worked, I have a few people who are interested in running or walking!) I work every other weekend and many of the 5K's that are local to me wind up being on my work days, so I thought this would be a great way to do it at a time that is convenient for me.

See below for the link/URL to The Great pumpkin Virtual Run or Walk if anyone is interested. For this race you get a link to share when you register, and if 5 or more people use it to join, you get a $20 refund of your race fee. I challenged my friends on Facebook to motivate others using their link like I am doing and then donate any refunds to a charity. I'm giving my refund if I get it to a local foundation for cancer care.

If you need an excuse or motivation to get moving, here it is!

      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.
