I walked 1/2 a mile today (2/7/12)  according to my pedometer and printed off a 12 week workout log as well as some diet plans that look reasonably doable for someone with bariatric surgery. I saw the PA from my surgeons office and got my weight limit raised to 30 pounds. It doesn't seem like much but at this point I will take whatever I can get. I can walk but not run and this point i'm looking at walking at a fairly quick pace as do-able as well. Printed off the application for the closest MsFitness competition and hopefully will be ready for this by August 4th. I also ordered some work out DVDs for when I can't get into a gym or use the fitness room at my work . I think I'm organized and ready to rock as soon as the powers that be give me the ok.

Did i mention I am a little nervous about doing this but kind of excited at the same time. Starting out on the journey to fulfilling a (nearly) lifelong dream gives me butterflies in my stomach.
