Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Wow!!! Running for over five hours! I can't even imagine!! I'm still jogging for ten. You are my hero! Laurie PS I must admit, my calves are looking rather ripped! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Thanks Francisco for your words of encouragement. However, I am wondering how YOU are doing now. I know you had hurt your knee. How's that going now? What do you think your marathon prognosis is? I hope all is well for Sundays run. Ron Re: Ron is checking in Ron:You're such an inspiration! Keep up the good work. I know, the heat is a bear, but you're right. It's easier to tolerate as a normal weighted person. I used to HATE the heat. Now, I still don't care for it much, but it's OK. I still love the cold weather, and bundling up is great fun (especially when there's someone cute to cuddle with!).You're well on your way. It's nice to be able to look back and see that the first baby steps are past you, and while there may be many more step to go, you're in the thick of it, and you know now that you'll make it! We all know it too!Francisco>> Okay kiddies, I'm just checking in, as promised. I'm still doing pretty good on the meal plan (I do slip once ina while and eat something I shouldn't, but I haven't gone full boar over the edge at all.) I don't get out and walk as much as I should but I am still swimming 3 times a week and have noticed some nice results already. Of course, part of the reason I'm not walking much is this God awful heat. Once it cools down some, I'll get out there and walk some more. I'm actually loking forward to losing all this excess weight because one of the "side effects" a lot of post-ops talk about is being cold all the time. That won't be so nice in the winter, but I hate summers so much right now because I just don't do heat well. It'll be nice to be able to abide by it. > > Anyway, as to the results I have noticed from my swimming... I have realized some lost inches in my hips and thighs. Since I haven't really measured those areas before, I don't know how much of me has diappeared, but it's significant enough for me to notice, so I'm pleased so far. ALSO... 2 days ago, the Craig scale here in Napa said I was 431. It's entirely possible that I've lost an additional 2 pounds since then. If so, I am now a proud and happy member of the century club (and that's pre-op, folks!) On July 24, 2005, when I re-started this journey, I was at 529. It's like the fog is lifting and I can see the 399 written on the wall at the end of the tunnel. Of course, I'd not have made it this far without the support of everyone here. You are all such wonderful, caring people. I wish I could just hug you all! Okay, mushy stuff aside, THANK YOU ALL! Now, let's all lose some more weight!
