Milestones

Apr 09, 2010

  I went to the gym today, 11 days after having my RNY.  I'm not doing anything strenuous until my surgeon clears me, but I figured walking on the treadmill wouldn't be bad, since I'm supposed to be walking anyway (that, and walking in my neighborhood is a REALLY bad idea.)  So I went, and I tried to start at my normal speed (3.5) but that was too much, so I knocked it down to 2.5 and it went okay.  Anyway, after my 30 minutes were up, I went to the women's locker room and I weighed myself.  Normally, I weigh myself on Mondays, but my gym has the old fashioned sliding scales, and those are supposed to be more accurate.  I moved the baseline to 250, like always.  And the top of the scale clunked down.  I needed to move the baseline to 200.  For the first time in years.  For the first time that I can remember, I am under 250 lbs.  I have lost 16.5 lbs since I had my RNY 11 days ago.  And I have lost 24 lbs since my all time high weight of 270 on March 1st.  I am so freakin' happy.
