Almost 2 Years Out

Oct 05, 2009

I didn't realize that I hadn't posted here in so long -- just too busy.  We started training for our first 5K in early August and finally ran it this last Saturday.  While I didn't run the whole race, I did run more than I walked, which was my goal.  I can't say that I love running, but I like it well enough to keep at it.  I'm running in the Madill 5K this weekend.  Danny and Catie have soccer, so I'll be running alone, but I'll know many people.  Also, I'd like to be a good example for my students.

After my unfill in late August, I've got 6 ccs in my 10 cc band.  I have absolutely no restriction at all.  I'm trying to manage through exercise and diet, but some days are easier than others.  I'd still like to get to 150#, and the process is much slower now.

When food demons take over, they're ferocious.  I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't had WLS.  I am able to control myself, put on my "big girl panties," and get back on track, but it is hard. 

I have a lot of loose skin, especially stomach, arms, thighs, but my butt stays bigger -- something that is new to me.  I'll plod on and feel healthier.  My A1C was 5.2, "normal," and I am taking little medicine now.  Again, I had this surgery to feel better and have more energy, both of which I've done.
