2nd 5K coming up

Sep 01, 2011

Ok, so I've been slacking on blogging, as well as on exercising.  Signing up for two 5ks will get me more motivated to move.  I've been walking a few times a week at lunchtime, but other than that I have really slacked off.  I can't wait til Saturday.  I'm really looking forward to doing this next 5k.  I'm doing the walk, but the second 5K I registered for is the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure and a friend of mine is going to plan to run it with me.  Hence the forced motivation to train (more exercise!) and prove I can at least jog some of a 5K. 

Other than that, I have sort of plateaued.. I'm assuming it is because I'm not regularly exercising again.  I'm so ready to get back into it again.  I miss all those happy endorphins I had going earlier in my weight loss when all I thought about was exercising.  That is my goal... to get like that again.

Other than my lack of exercise, life is good.  I've been working alot of hours, but I'm happy for the most part.  The biggest reason I decided to have my surgery was to become healthy by the time I reach 50 years of age.  So, I also made an appointment with a dermatologist to have my skin checked.  Dr. Oz says you should have your skin checked yearly to make note of any moles, etc and to try and prevent melanoma.  Since I lost a cousin to melanoma, I was very pleased that I have made getting my skin checked a priority.  It will now be in my usual rotation of yearly doctor appointments.

I also have notice two cysts.  My regular doctor says they are sebacious cysts and I am planning to have them removed.

Sleep doctor appointment next week too.... may have to do another sleep study to find out if I still have sleep apnea... oooh, might be nice to not have to wear my CPAP anymore!!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!

Healthy life and healthy living, I have arrived!!!!!!

I still have more weight to lose, but I am definately going in the right direction.

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!!
