Last week a ran a 1/4 of a mile on my tread mill. Yesterday I ran a mile, I would walk a 1/4 of a mile then run a 1/4 mile. I did this for two miles. Than I walked another mile.  I can not believe it. I was like a little kid on christmas morning. This is one of the best feelings. I know as I lose more weight it will even get better and easier. I strive to run like I use to when I was younger. When I was younger I so loved running and playing sports. It is amazing how things are changing. I am so thankful for everything I have.  

This week I returned to work full time. I have to say by Thursday I was really tired and not sure if I could make it through Friday. Friday evening I was a little grumpy because I was so tired. One thing about my job is I get to work from home when I am not on the road. Monday and Tuesday's were office days (home days) I spent two days just trying to get caught up on my emails and everything. My customers do not realize I am back yet. Which is a good thing. Next week it should hit. On Wednesday I made my first customer calls. It was like go to school for the first day. It took my about an hour to find something to wear. All my work panties are to big. Darn it! I really hate when that happens. After work on Wednesday I went to buy a couple pairs of pants to get me by. I was wearing a 24 to 26 before the surgery. I bought a size 20 pants and a size 18 pants suit. WOW!!! I was so happy  and amazed. I can't remember the last time I bought a 18. So that is one WOW moment. Wait there is more. I am off all of my meds. All 7 of them. No more shots. No more pills. I am so happy. This is why I did the surgery. My sugar levels are great. This will save me over $1200 a year just in prescriptions not to mention the money I will save in Doctor visits. That was my second WOW moment for the week. Then on Thursday I was running behind and didn't plan well as far as meals go. I was on the road and had to get something to eat. I went to Wendy's to get some chili. Before the surgery I always sat at a table no booths. I could barely fit in a booth and my stomach would touch the table. I sat at a booth and my stomach was at least 2 inches if not more away from the table. Can you believe it? I was so excited I just wanted to sit there all day. I also wanted to yell HEY MY STOMACH DOESN'T TOUCH THE TABLE ANYMORE! but I thought people would look at me funny. Which wouldn't be the first time someone looked at me funny.  I have to say I feel a lot better then I did two months ago. People say I look better. They can tell I lost weight in my face. Which is a nice way to say. My you have a neck now. I have a big show at the end of July in Washington DC for work. It is our biggest event of the year. I am hoping to be down another 10 pounds by then. Alot of my co workers and customers will see me for the first time at the show. It will be interesting I am excited and scared all at the same time. I will be taking a lot of protein bars and beef jerky with me on this trip. I have no idea what the food will be like or if I will be able to eat it. I don't want to get sick and dump. I am not going to worry about it right now. What ever happens happens. What a week. What great WOW moments. I am amazed at the feeling of happiness I have.

Last night was a very scary night for me. What I really should say is early this morning, 12:15 was a very scary time for me. I woke up from a sound sleep and my body was itchy and I had a pain in my chest. I laid in bed for about 15 min. and thought am I having a heart attack. The pain in my chest was very scary. Then I got up and I went in to the restroom. I was light headed, and sweating. Sweating so bad I was dripping with sweat, just like I had just worked out. I sat in the bathroom for a bit and tried to throw up.Nothing came up. I came out to my kitchen and turned on my air conditioner. I was sweating so bad and felt so sick.. My chest was still hurting. I didn't know what the heck to do. I looked up dumping in Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. Yes I was dumping. Thank god it wasn't a heart attack. It took about an hour and half for it to pass. I can not figure out why I dumped. And why so long after eating. This dumping stuff really is not fun. I still don't feel all that great today. At least I am still a live and I didn't have a heart attack. What a morning.
