7.5 Months Out... 120 total pounds lost

Feb 04, 2012

So, I'm 7.5 months out, or there abouts. I've lost 120 pounds as of today. That means I've reached the 100 lost since surgery. I include my preop diet weight loss because that was hard and I'm counting it, darn it!

Today was an interesting day. I did The Color Run here in Austin. There is zero percent of a chance I could have done that 8 months ago. It was a 5k (3 miles) family fun run/walk. BUT it was muddy. And I don't mean just a little. I mean, 4-8 inches. We kept losing our shoes. We kept getting stuck. We lost socks. We had mud up to our ankles. We actually only did 2 to 2.5 miles because we took two short cuts but it still took almost 2 hours. It was a sloggy bog of a thing. The backs of my thighs are killing me. But ya know what?

I did it.

*I* did THAT.

How freaking cool is that?
