The loss of 80 pounds makes. I know I haven't been good about keeeping up my blog and I am sorry if anyone has noticed. I will give everyone a run down now in what has happened these last 7 months. I started walking about 2 weeks after surgery short distances at first then by March I was walking 4 miles in 40-45 minutes. I then decided that I should join a gym of some sort. So March 17 I joind "Slender You" they have regular weighted gym machines for circuit training and also motorized toning beds. Istarted losing inches fast it seemed and the weight was coming off as well. I started to run on the treadmill and found that I really liked it so June 1st I did my first 5K race and came in 3rd for my age division (50-54 yr olds) I was absoulutly shocked, so I went home after the race a signed up for another one the end of June and came in 2nd in age division on that one. July I didn't do any races cause I was having problems with this rash I couldn't get rid of, come to find out I had poison ivy and scabies. WTH I got scabies from I don;t know , but let me tell you they are itchy. I am now over the scabies and am doing another race Aug 9. I am also trying to decide if I have a 10k race in me. there is one the beginning of Ocotber that I would like to do. I think I am just going to go for it like I did with the 5K and see what happens, I just want to finish it. So now I ahve everyone updated on my road to a new me. Oh the most exciting thing that happened was that I was asked to be in a infomercial for Slender You. I did do it and I don't know yet when it will air. I do know that it will be on the Oxygen Network which is bad cause I don;t get that station. I'm sure I can get someone to tape it for me. Well that is all for now. Take Care everyone .
