July 26

Yesterday was my 3rd year Surgiversay!! WOW, it just seemed  like yesterday. I still have trouble getting it wrapped around my brain that I'm no longer the size I was. It wasn't until a few months ago when I saw a picture of my husband and myself (the one on my avatar) that I realized how others saw me today.

Thank you everyone for helping me and supporting me in my journey. I have met a lot of great Friends though my journey.

My training is going really well, I am up to run/walking 4 miles in 68 minutes. Now I will never be a track star but feel pretty good about my accompaniments. I walked 2 them as 14 minute miles and the rest at a slower rate due to my knees. If I keep this up I will be ready for the 1/2 marathon in Nov. I think I might have to try a different running shoe, one with more padding on the ball of the foot.

I've been doing really good going to the gym to train, yea for me. Hubby just told me last night that his traveling time has been moved from Sept to Aug and it looks like he will be gone on our 20th Anniversary Aug 5th. We had both asked for that whole week off. That wasn't easy for me since I work 2 jobs. He said he will be gone for 3 week and then home for 1. I told him his company needs to fly me out to be with him in Sacramento Ca since its our Anniversary, lol, like that will happen. Oh well I well just have to deal with it, but it sucks.

Well I started back in the gym yesterday. I knew I didn't have a lot of time but made myself go. I ran and walked one mile, then I was out of time (had to go to second job). I felt really good. So that was day 1 of my training for the half marathon on Nov 1.
