Some Mini-Big Steps, lol
Mar 30, 2011
So last night was my last blood thinner shot. I've never had to give myself a shot before. I'm glad I've never been a diabetic, I don't know how they can do that everyday, three weeks was enough for me.Also my one little clear stitch that was sticking out of my incision fell out so now it's just a tiny pink 2 inch line. I feel that I am finally on the way to being normal again, lol.
I am dying to get to the gym. After my first two weeks, the weight loss has slowed down dramatically. The scale is still moving but at a snail's pace. I really think the gym will help give the scale a little push in the right direction. I need to build my stamina back up. I think a slow jog right now would make me hyperventilate when I could run a mile before surgery. I am also scared of loose skin. Not so much on my boobs or belly...that I think will happen no matter what...having a baby already helped that along. I am more worried about my arms and my inner thighs. I want them to look good when I wear a tank top or shorts.
Well tomorrow is my bi-weekly weigh-in. I really wanted to get to 30lbs lost by my 1 month surgiversary which give me a little more time still (April 5th) I am actually just hoping to be at 25lbs lost tomorrow morning and I will worry about the rest later. As long as the scale keeps moving downward, I can't really complain since it's been moving steadily upwards for the last year.
So a friend invited me to do a half marathon in September in London. Sounds like an amazing experience and totally terrifying all at the same time. I know I have lots of time to train but I've only done a 5k before...a half marathon is over three of those!!! I do need to give myself a good fitness goal that will help keep me in the gym and inspire me. I think this just might be it. I'll keep you posted on what I decide!
