Gave myself a little b-day present and slept in this morning. At the time, seemed like a great idea. Now, I'm kicking myself.:eek:

In tonight for my upper body workout. Can't fit in any cardio as I have a financial class to get to tonight with DW. Off tomorrow so I may try to fit some extra cardio work in after my leg workout tomorrow morning. This weekend we're going to Des Moines to have early turkey day with my family. I'll have to borrow my sisters card to the 24/7 gym she belongs to. Her brother in law owns it, so it's cool.:thumbup:

Hi all you Dedicated Exercising Warriors,

I missed y'all so I had to come in and post...:cool2:

It's been a while since I posted - things got crazy at work and I couldn't make it to the gym for a while, but continued my daily walks. DDog doesn't care WHAT my schedule is, and that's a good thing...

Actually didn't walk on surgery day, but did get up at 4 am after and walk around the floor at the hospital - couple more banded insomniacs up to walk with - was kinda nice.

Been home almost a week - walked every morning, though DD handles the dog - he pulls on the leash a bit, and that was just too uncomfortable on my incisions.

Missed y'all - gonna continue to walk and wait for the okay to get back into the gym. Post-op appt with doctor on Dec 2nd, but back to work on Dec 1st.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!:smile2:

Thursday night-KILLED my upper body workout. As mentioned previously, it was my b-day and I turned 38. Had my best workout in probably 2 mos. I walked out of the gym feeling like king sh*t!:thumbup:

Followed that up with a great leg workout on Friday morning and cardio of 65 minutes.

No workouts over weekend. Down in Des Moines for early turkey day with my family. This morning was 45 minutes on elliptical. Tonight will be upper body and another 15-20 minutes of cardio.

      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.
