Today is swim day. I was out there for 90 min and got in 2100! I think that's the most I've ever swam.

Great job MacMadame!:smile2: No way I could swim that far. I still tend to sink rather than float. Just not meant for Water sports I guess.:sneaky:

As for me, got up to fitness ctr @ work yesterday. Both good treadmills were taken at first. Hopped on elliptical for 19 minutes until one opened up. Then, hopped on a treadmill and did 1.5 miles in 12:39 followed by 5 min. cooldown.

This morning, did 2.5 miles on treadmill in 23:30 @ .5% incl. followed by 10 min. cooldown. This afternoon will upper body and a little more cardio.

Keep up the great work everybody!

So......when's the pool party for LBT? That all sounds really good. If you have an outdoor TV, you may just have a "houseguest" from Sept. through Feb. (hopefully):smile2:

Today we did a bike ride. I was so slow I got back after dark which is against the rules. Oops.

But I did 22.5 miles. Too bad it took me 2 hours!

I am going to take you up on that offer one of these days. Maybe come down for a Gnats/Cowboys game so I can cheer the 'Boys on with a real fan and make fun of his wife when she shows her true colors.:blink:

Too tired and had a function for DD's school last night. No workout last night. I'll make it up tonight. This morning, ran 3 miles in 30 min. @ .5%/1%/0 incl.

Did you catch "Build it Bigger" last night on Science Channel. Show was on the Cowboys new stadium. I'm sure you've driven by in a couple times (or should have by now), but that show just made me want to pay the big $$$$ to get down this year. Place is PHE-NOM-E-NAL :crying::tt1:

i get wkly updates from DH who passes by frequently.

they are going to have to do something about the ticket prices however - just not realistic in this economy to shell out $2500 for a family of 4 for a single cowboy game.

jerry jones has built a LOT Of corp suites - and they are still not all taken.

i believe DH records the science channel on tivo - i'll have to go look at it .... it will be a beautiful stadium, home opener is against the gnats:)

today - just called my neighbor, and plan on a slow walk. it's SO nice out this am - and i just need to move. will also do my weight training routine when i get back.

Have to agree with you on the ticket prices. They even mentioned that a couple of times. It is on again at 4 pm this afternoon if he didn't tivo it.

And, it's good to see you calling that NY team by it's real name.:crying:

      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
