I survived!!

Well I survived the Frozen 5K Just Barely. I always trained for the previous ones at my old club becasuse I hate running on the tread mill compared to the outside or the track at my old club which I really miss. But I survived both that and the 5 day pouch test. I did have a little spagetti on Friday night to have some more carbs just to give me the energy to finish which I'm glad I did. Not I am just eating proteins and now adding carbs in the form of Fruits and Vegi's and  lean proteins until I get back to my goal. I guess I am looking at this as what things I should eat after going to solids after pureed foods like I did right after I had surgery. Hopefully I can stay away from the crap for the next month or two. Wish me luck. Jim

Jimmy - way to finish the race! What a sense of accomplishment for you. Best of luck on staying on track with your eating! Remember healthy ALWAYS tastes better - for so many reasons.

Thanks Diamond I appreciate your support.

Good luck Jiim And way to go on the 5K!

Thanks Lisa

Congrats on the 5k. And hang in there you can do it.

Thanks Jennifer!

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!!  Congrats!  You can't be so hard on yourself for having speggetti ~that was needed for extra energy to run!!!  I am sure you'll stay on track and do just great!

Thanks Sandi for your encouragement. I am glad I had the spagetti becasue of my lack of training it was a much harder race this year. Jim

 I bow to you! That's fantastic!!! I would love to be able to do a 5K. It's my goal actually. I also am thinking of doing the breast cancer 3-Day in 2009. I did it in 2004 and it was so much fun; but really tough due to my weight. I think now I'll be able to do it so much easier. So............. off to the gym.  Way to go on eating healthy, too! Lori
