    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Lucky 13..Months that is
on November 29, 2008 7:38 pm
And I missed it yet again.

Weight still holding...running is wonderful.  I feel excellent.

In the ever present 'other' news...Skip and I separated several weeks ago...maybe that's why I missed my update...hmmm.  It was mutual..mostly...and civil..mostly.  He's still in the house although he's moved into another room.  He plans on moving out in January.  I think we'll be friends...I very much want to be.  I have a habit of keeping people and honestly I can't even imagine him not in my life.  The kids are ok...and will continue to be.  Skips ok...I'm ok.  Isn't there a book some where with a title like that?  LOL  I don't believe this is surgery related...although I'm sure there's some retards out there that do think so (fuvmbtw).  Our problems go way back...years before surgery...as the people that really matter already know.  So there it is...the end of a year...the end of a marriage.  Onwards................

Reflections at 1 year post-op
on November 8, 2008 4:56 pm
So I missed it....my one year update...all these distracting people and things in my life.

My weight is steady and as in steady I mean never below 144..never above 148.  So roughly...on my highest day...I've lost 102 pounds.  I don't believe I will ever be a 'normal' BMI and I could care less.  I'm happy where I'm at...strong and healthy. 

So here are the reflections.

I still hate people staring at me and it happens wayyyy more than it used to.

I hate seeing people that I haven't seen since surgery.  I am sick to death of talking about how I look. 

The surgery is an exchange...one set of problems for another...but not always in a bad way. 

When they tell you that your relationships will change..they're not kidding.  And not just the marriage/so kind of relationships..the ones with your friends, co-workers..whatever. 

If you're not a shopper to begin with...you'll learn to REALLY hate all the shopping you have to do.

I am more interested in food than I ever was before surgery.  I suppose because I don't eat very much...I get pretty excited about what I DO eat. 

Alcohol is a whole other ballgame now....LOL.

I'm more tired and stressed out than I've ever been in my life.  I don't know if that has anything to do with surgery but there it is.



That's all I've got for now.  I'm sure there's more floating around in my head but I can't get my hands on them right now.  I'm not sorry...not even a little bit.  I ran 12.5 miles today...almost the half.  I never could have done that  a year ago.

My 2-year plan
on October 4, 2008 7:46 am
So I'm updating..not about my weight or anything...but I want to put this down while it's stuck in my head.
Actually been there for awhile now...but saying it out loud and telling people...writing it down makes it more real.  And not as easy to get out of...LOL.  And I'm all about making things not easy on myself...or taking away my options anyways.

So here it is...the two year plan...in a nutshell. 

I'm going to run the Chicago Marathon in October 2010.  


There it is folks.  There is also a 6 month plan that includes a half marathon this coming spring.  I'm toying with either Lake Genevas or Mad Citys.  Madisons is the day after my birthday in May and I believe Lake Genevas is in April.  I know Madisons will be a much flatter course and easier on me..but the Lake Genevas will be much more beautiful and MUCH more challanging.   I don't know...I've got some time to decide. 

I did my second 10.1 mile run this morning...so I know that in 6-8 months I will be more than able to run the half.  That gives me plenty of time to be able to rack up another 3 miles on my longest runs.  I'm shooting for an 1:45 finish.  As if running a half marathon within a year of starting running isn't enough...I've done slapped a time on it....what the hell is wrong with me anyways? 

I'm logging about 25 miles a week.  I need to be doing double that by the marathon.  My short runs will be what my long runs are now...I see alot of running shoes in my future...poor Skip.

11 months
on September 24, 2008 6:46 am
And up 2 pounds this month.  I feel great...floating between 146 and 150 and holding.  This is fine with me..weight comfortable, emotions as in control as they ever are. 

Vegas was crazy...not wonderful but not horrible either.  The wedding was lovely except it was 103 degrees.  But no one passed out so that's somthing. 

I'm still tired.

10 Months
on August 25, 2008 5:50 pm
I missed my 10 month update by a day...didn't even dawn on me.  I'm 146 or 147 depending...so 4 or 5 pounds this month.  I'm 6 pounds from goal at 10 months out.  I really don't want to get under 140...I'm very comfortable at this weight.  I guess we'll see where I end up. 

I'm still running.  Four days a week and logging over 20 miles a week.  I just bought the most incredible pair of running shoes that are like running on air....ahhhhhhhh.

I'm leaving for Vegas in a little over a week.  I need to get the fuck outta dodge.  I feel like I'm running on empty.  Rahhhhh
