Okay, I'm not going to lay out numbers like ya'll, but I want to do 30 minutes every day after work with my daughter. I want to rotate arms, legs and cardio.

We've gone every day this week and I promised her a manicure on Sat if we go for one week straight.

I think going after work is easier than getting up in the morning.

I decided it was time for a long run. I do the speed work every week with my Track workout, but the long run isn't always that long. I want to run 4 miles in the gym before my triathlon so I'll know I can do it when I'm actually doing it. :confused:

So I tried today but I didn't quite get there in the 47 min. I allotted myself. But I'll do it next week or die trying!

Good to hear. :confused:

As for me, no a.m. workout yesterday. Did upper body circuit training in the p.m. Followed that with 35 minutes on elliptical and 1.5 mile run on treadmill.

This morning, I did 2.5 mile/21:50 run on treadmill followed by 10 minute cooldown. Won't get legs tonight. Working 12 hrs today and then have to get DD from in laws. I'll try after work tomorrow.

We did a bike-run transition but then we had to bike back to our cars so it was more like bike-run-bike!

90 min. bike

30 min run (though I got lost and only did 25 min)

30 min. bike

I am still the slowest on the bike but apparently I have the fastest transition time!

Working 16 today, so no workout. We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

No exercise this morning as I worked a double yesterday and only got about 3 hrs of sleep. Mainly due to our GSD deciding midnight would be an excellent time to start hacking up a lung in our bedroom last night.:smile2:

If I can keep the caffeine drip going today, I'll hit the gym after work to do upper body and a little cardio. If not, I will go home and sleep about 12 hrs.: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.
