3 Months Post-Op

Jun 11, 2010

I have not blogged in a while, so I thought this would be a good time to do so! My 3 month surgiversary is tomorrow which also coincides with my 17 year anniversary to a wonderful man that I would not have been able to do this with out.

I currently weigh 173 and I am 1/2 way to my ultimate goal weight of 118 (may never happen). I have lost 55lb and I have 55 to go! My 16 year old spazed out a little tonight when she overheard me telling her sister that this was my goal weight because she currently weighs 125 and the thought of mom weighing less freaked her out.  I reminded her that she is 4 inches taller than me, but I don't think she cares.

On another note, I have been working my way through the c25k program and I am on Week 6  where you run 25 min. straight.  Well I just kinda skipped that part and jogged the whole 3 miles instead. Now I am setting my ipod on the 45 min run to see how long it takes me to jog the 3 miles and start working on getting faster.  I have jogged this for the last 2 days and I am currently running it in about 43 min. My goal by July 18th (my scheduled 5k in Dallas) is to be at 30 min. In the heat at that time of year surviving is my ultimate goal -- by my dream goal is 30 min.

I have also completed day 6 of Jillian's 30 day shred although I did take Wednesday off because I felt like crap. But I picked it back up on Thursday. My goal for this is to be finished by July 4th, but I do not think that is going to happen -- so my new goal is to finish it before I leave for the race.

My 3rd mini/crazy goal is to be at 150lbs by my birthday.  Originally it was 165 but at my current rate of loss I think I will hit that in early July. Anywhere between the 2 will make me happy!

This journey has its ups and downs and like all roller coasters it makes me dizzy and nauseous - but I am having a ball and I want to stay on forever!
