Whosya - Great job on the duathalon. The bike whips my butt every time I get on this hilly counrty road. I end up getting off and pushing. ARGGgghh

I grew up in the Philadelphia area. Go Phillies and Eagles.

I like the Packers much better than the Eagles. In fact, I root for the COWBOYS, and whoever is playing against the Eagles. I am a die hard Cowboys fan!!!!!!! I watch every game. I can't wait for football season to get here again!!!

Thanks for the inspiration. I have a long term goal of running a full marathon some day. It is great to see the achievements you have made.

By the way I am a huge Green Bay Packer fan!! (since the 60s when I was a little girl.) I cried when Brent retired. My husband likes the Patriots. (Brady fan) Truthfully he is an underdog fan. (Although the Patroits aren't underdogs)

I live in Ohio - Go bucks! I love football

Well, the rain has stopped in Columbus, my Yorkie (Todd) and I are off for our morning run.

I hate getting my shoes wet - it feels yucky:sad::tt1:

Maybe I will include some unique ballot jumps over the puddles.:party:

You are too funny Lyn. Wish I could see the ballet moves.

I used to have a Roger Staubach poster on my wall in my bedroom when I was a little girl. Go Cowboys!!

Now that I am 3 days away from my surgery date, I am so excited (not nervous at all) I added extra walk time to our (my Yorkie and my) c to 5k work out.

a couple of physical issues I could use help with:

1. Shin splints

2. inner thighs rub together - ouch I have a blister. Isn't that a visual!! I have worn loose shorts and spandex - the ol' thunder thighs are rebelling! Any suggestions.

When I got home from my work out I had my husband (Tom) take my offical before pictures with the digital camera - thank God Wal-mart photo deartment doesn't have to develop these beauties!

I have been drinking the Adkins low carb Protein Drinks - I actually like them.

Can you tell - I am so pumped up about creating the new Lynn. I don't know who I would be yaking to if I didn't have you all.

Hey, would it be great to run our first 5k together? We could be "BANDED AND BONDED!!!!

By the way Renewedhope, my ballot jumps over the puddles were breathtakingly scary! Even my dog was embarrassed.:party:

I love Football too. I'm not a Dallas Cowboy Fan (were Charger Fans)but, it was my childhood dream to be Dallas Cowboy CHEERLEADER! I made it threw High School Cheer and that's it! Got married started having babies and became a cow! Oh well I am and always will be a cheerleader at heart!!

Whosya...awesome job!!! I think once I get to the point where I can run a 5K, I would like to step it up and do a mini triathlon..my husband and daughter would totally do that with me. When were you banded?

Lyn-You crack me up Woman!

Mother Earth said to Father time, "what is that sound?" "What sound replied father time?" "Listen, it is a thump thump thump", said mother earth. "I can feel it on my surface, she confussed. Father time, smiled and said, " I know what that is ... it is the newly banded humans running interval couch to 5Ks all over the world" "Aren't they amazing!" said Father Time. "You know for all of their hard work and effort I am going to give each one of them extra time on earth."

What will you do with your extra time?

Have a great week everyone, Lynn:shades_smile:

      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.
