Ok, I'm here. I haven't voted....I don't know whats wrong with me. I feel like I'm just going to fade away from running. My diet sucks. I'm sure that I consumed 4000 calories yesterday AND today. Not to mention thanksgivings coming up. WTF?!?!?!?!? I haven't actually worked out since last wednesday, and I'm supposed to meet with the trainer tomorrow. I was also supposed to start low carbing it yesterday, the Peanut Butter cups put a screeching halt on that one.

Ok I'm just blabbering on now.....

ok, i've been consuming wayyyyyy too many cals myself lately. know what is keeping the scale from creeping up much? yup, exercising...

you can do it. im going to be doing my 'thang' (runalking) today about 330ish...

we can do this!

i went to the y at 8am today (ilove vacation!) and did week 5 workout 2. Basically 2 8min runs with a 5 min walk. Not too bad! I think im ready to hit that 20 min run now

sure was nice not having to get up at 4am to get to the ymca. So far today i have been doing a Ton of housework. 4 women make ALOT of laundry. Wait...isnt this surposed to be vvacation! at least the vacuum burns calories. I better get well rewarded for this!

To answer your questions about the 20 minutes, it was tough. I would start to feel there was no way I would make it and then in a minute it would pass. I ran just as hard as I could without being out of breath. Probably though it is not as bad as you think it will be-What's the worst that can happen-take a short break and then get back to work!

Daddy, I'm sure you'll get rewarded!!!

Thats why I take thanksgiving week off for vacation, so I can clean my house for my rockin xmas eve party. First, my fam comes over and exchanges gifts, then they leave and his fam comes over and gets drunk...Its hysterical. But since I only clean once a year, it actually does take a whole week to clean. I sweat more cleaning than I do at the gym, so it must be burning some calories. I'll have to wear my HRM tomorrow to see how many!

glad today was better for you, losing!

trystelle- congrats on doing so well with your run!!!

I did week 2 day 2 today and it was ok- do people wait to move on until the week they are doing is "easy" or do you move on if you can do the week without too much strain??

i think when you are comfy doing it ... i wouldnt necessarily wait until it became "easy" ... you want to challenge yourself somewhat and if the next week is too much, go back a week or modify the week somehow ...

nothing here is written in stone

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
