Today: This is my first day back to work and I don't know what happened but I feel like I was hit by a truck. I feel the flu coming on and I am really restricted. No exercise. :wink_smile:

5min walk

20min-run

10min-abs (owee!)

I was very tired, no sleep last night and wanted to come home and flop, but I did what I could and felt good about not giving into my excuse!

Monday: 75 min. back/biceps

I'm trying to work on pull-ups & was unable to do even 1/2 of one! So I'm doing the machine assist for a while. What a whimp.

No cardio, felt too tired & weak. Might have been that I wanted to watch The Bachelor & eat carbs. :wub:

I'm doing a 2 days on 1 off schedule but will try to make it today for the cardio I missed yesterday.

I have faith you'll get back at it.

My problem this week so far is that we switched to a new start time of 0700 @ work and that translates to me getting up at 0330 or so to come in to do cardio. By about this time, I'm dragging arse to make it through to the end. It's going to take a couple weeks before I get into this flow.

      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.
