good luck on your 5k tom ceradad!!!!

Thanks. Had my best time yet btwn last year and this year. Ran the 3.1 miles in 27:17. I ran this course in 28:30 or so last year I believe, maybe 29, so I was very happy with it. Course is set for faster times. The hills aren't too demanding and the rest is a little more flat.

'Bout time. Now you can't use it as an excuse anymore.:thumbup:

I ran 3 miles on the treadmill this morning in just under 29 min. on hill level 3. Followed that with 10 min. cooldown and 15 min. on elliptical.

No lifting this week. gotta have a week off once in awhile.:frown:

Hi All, just found this thread - today I want to get in 10,000 steps - I've been close before but today would be the first time - and will try to at least make 10,000 each day, or at least beat the previous day, from now on. I cant upload my BodyBugg at work, so won't see til tonight what i've done.

Well today was the 21st day I have so longed for. We did the 6.2 mile course that we have mapped out. It was a breeze (we walked it). I hope that I am able to see the scales move soon. I gained 2 lbs. I am so frustrated. I now have blisters on my blisters (literally).

Today I ran on the treadmill. 2+ min. warm-up, 50-55 min. run, 2 min. cool down followed by some stretching. I got in 5 miles and the treadmill was set on 5.3 (my highest yet) so I was happy.

TMS, great job. That is the best way to get into the habit of exercise as alot of us will tell you. We don't start at a run, we start off pushing ourselves a little further/harder/longer each day. That was what I did when I started this journey. If you didn't make it yesterday, push yourself a little more today. Then, a little more tomorrow. We'll be here for you.:mad2:

As for me, my carpool mate/cardio partner/coworker talked me into going outside to run this morning rather than on the treadmill. Ran a loop along both sides of the Mississippi River for a total of 3 miles. Took it easy and did it in 30 min. Then walked to cooldown for about 15 min.

New bossman is wanting to take me for a run with him on Thursday. As he is taking us one at a time and trying to push us to our limits, I am going to take it easy tomorrow and Thursday morning.

Thanks! And I didnt make it the full 10,000, but I did make it further than any other day, so i'm happy.

And it sounds like maybe you may be the one pushing him to his limits on Thursday! I'm really impressed by what you've accomplished, and i'm hoping to be able to do well, too!

Thank you for the support!

just getting started but I am trying...

I was able to do a little more than a mile this past Sunday but have been able to do half a mile and that is getting easier. I have to push myself to go for that other half mile and I am hoping to eventually get to where the rest of you guys are =)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
