Yeehaw! I live approximately 8 miles from work and have a fabulous bike trail I can take. The first day was challenging as I tried to Bike home too which was tough, I made it 3/4 of the way home and my hubby came to rescue me. :(

However, I packed my backpack again this morning and hit the rode before I could talk myself out of it. I believe I burned somewhere between 460-600 calories this morning.

Wow. Everyone is doing amazing!

Only problem with days off from work, is I don't get on here from home and then have to catch up. So, here goes:

Last Thursday I was off, so I went in and did my last lower body circuits for this past 6 wk cycle. Then, did 90 minutes of cardio.

Friday morning, in Des Moines to see my side of the family, got up and ran in a 5k down there. OMG, it was by far the hilliest of the 5 5k's I've run so far. Steep grades going up and down hill. But, I managed to run the whole way and finished in 29:10. Not my fastest, but I'll take it.

Saturday morning, got up and ran around my mothers neighborhood for about 35 minutes. Maybe got in another 3 to 3.5 miles.

Sunday had to get up early and head home, so no exercise. However, when I got home, I put on the ratty clothes and headed out on the deck to do some more staining. It was close to 90 and high humidity. I had sweat rolling off of me.

Monday I was off again from work, so I slept in a little bit. Got up and was supposed to take this week off from lifting. But, I was feeling kind of frisky and decided to max out on bench for the first time in about 3 yrs. Just wanted to see if I could do my now body weight of 255. No problems, so I kept going. 285....done. 300.....done x 2. 315.....Dangit! Got stuck about halfway up. Spotter gave me a little "boost" to get through the sticking point, and I got it the rest of the way. Can't quite claim 315, but I'll claim 305 easily.

Tuesday and Wednesday were simply 65 minutes of cardio on elliptical each day. No more lifting this week so I can get ready for next week and the start of a next cycle.

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

      2. 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
