I know I'm one of those people.   I like to get what I want when I want it how I want it and etc so on and so forth.

SO yesterday I went for my run in the freezing cold, rain, and hail and didnt make good time, didnt actually run the whole way. Yikes!!!

I was so bummed.  I didnt care what excuse my body gave me, I didnt care what excuse my mind gave me.  I was just not satisfied.

When will I learn?

Also I look in the mirror and I find things to knit pick at.  My tummy is too flabby, my thighs are too jiggly, my arms are waving longer than my hand. blah blah blah.

Satisfaction was not not guaranteed with this surgery... I have to find it within myself.   I am happy to be down 134lbs and I cant let myself forget it.

ok, so... tonight at the gym  weighted crunches, 30mins cardio, chest press, and leg work.

Today is my running day. I have a circuit I found in my neighborhood and I will do a warm up walk, stretch then run. I'm very fortunate because I do not have to cross the street for my actual run part.

Funky part: Its raining, and its hard to find motivation to go to the gym (which is indoors). I WILL RUN TODAY though. I WILL DO IT!!!

I will be equiped with my Chicago Bears hoodie, and sweats of some sort. lol Maybe new Target tshirt (run, throw, kick, etc). Yay

So I got up this morning feeling pretty icky. I had diareah all night and all day yesterday. Sorry if TMI, but its part of the process, ilnesses take a while to get through your system when you cant flush it as fast.

anyway.

Got in the shower, got on the scale! and Tada!!! 5months (almost to the day 24th will be 5months) 100lbs down. yee haw

That makes a total weight loss of 134lbs since last year (march 2009) Yippy SKippy! 

Though I feel ill, and not 100% I will go to the gym hapily tonight to do my cardio. I have a one mile race on Sunday I need to get a better time on.  Goal time 13mins even.

I think I might wear my Rainbow Bright T shirt and rainbow socks. I feel spunky!!!

My highest weight was 376 in March of 2009. Size 28, height 6’2, shoe size 13WW, bra size 46HH Pre surgery weight 342 November 2009 Size 24, height 6’2, shoe size 13W, bra size 44H Current weight 244 April 2010 Size 16, height 6’2, shoe size 12, bra size 38DDD My surgeon predicted that in a years time I should be able to maintain a weight of 242lbs I am almost 5 months post op.   Yesterday I ran in my first mile race. The Denver Mile High Mile. My goals for the race: Finish the race running. Run the whole race Finish the race in under 17 minutes (if I couldn’t run the whole way) Finish the race in 13mins if I did run the whole way Finish the race without chaffing Finish the race and go out to brunch with my friends Finish the race and be able to work on Monday.   I did finish the race and I ran the whole way, without chaffing, though I had to hold up my pants part of the way b/c the draw string wasn’t enough to handle my jiggly middle. I finished the race in 13:54 (new goal to come). I had a great brunch, I over ordered. Two eggs over medium, Canadian bacon, and yogurt. I ate less then half. Lol  I am currently at work, working away, no pain, a little tightness where I still need to stretch my hamsrings.   Just regular updates: I have not gone off plan, I am still struggling to get some veggies in, b/c I am all about my protein. I have not lost hair. No thinning. Yes my arms are jiggly, and my inner thighs are jiggly too I’ve been very lucky in the breast area. My skin has cleared up I’m not the best at taking my vitamins or benefiber… but I do relearn that benefiber lesson once a month. Lol (they have great chewables by the way) I’m in the gym 3 times a week, and outside walk/run 3 times a week. I do 30 mins of cardio 6 days a week.
No more high blood pressure
I'm totally addicted to nuts ( i dont keep them in the house anymore)
  New Goals:   Run a mile in 12 minutes (next weekend is the Cherry Creek Sneak) Run a 5k in May (run 1^st mile, walk 2^nd mile, run 3^rd mile) Run a 5k All the way through by July Participate in the Irongirl Sprint Tri

I believe in positive thought. You bring into your life what you think about. So I think positive, and positive things happen to me. I also remember to be appreciative and grateful.  Each day is a miracle, I'm so blessed to be a part of.
