Apr 19, 2010

My highest weight was 376 in March of 2009. Size 28, height 6’2, shoe size 13WW, bra size 46HH Pre surgery weight 342 November 2009 Size 24, height 6’2, shoe size 13W, bra size 44H Current weight 244 April 2010 Size 16, height 6’2, shoe size 12, bra size 38DDD My surgeon predicted that in a years time I should be able to maintain a weight of 242lbs I am almost 5 months post op.   Yesterday I ran in my first mile race. The Denver Mile High Mile. My goals for the race: Finish the race running. Run the whole race Finish the race in under 17 minutes (if I couldn’t run the whole way) Finish the race in 13mins if I did run the whole way Finish the race without chaffing Finish the race and go out to brunch with my friends Finish the race and be able to work on Monday.   I did finish the race and I ran the whole way, without chaffing, though I had to hold up my pants part of the way b/c the draw string wasn’t enough to handle my jiggly middle. I finished the race in 13:54 (new goal to come). I had a great brunch, I over ordered. Two eggs over medium, Canadian bacon, and yogurt. I ate less then half. Lol  I am currently at work, working away, no pain, a little tightness where I still need to stretch my hamsrings.   Just regular updates: I have not gone off plan, I am still struggling to get some veggies in, b/c I am all about my protein. I have not lost hair. No thinning. Yes my arms are jiggly, and my inner thighs are jiggly too I’ve been very lucky in the breast area. My skin has cleared up I’m not the best at taking my vitamins or benefiber… but I do relearn that benefiber lesson once a month. Lol (they have great chewables by the way) I’m in the gym 3 times a week, and outside walk/run 3 times a week. I do 30 mins of cardio 6 days a week.
No more high blood pressure
I'm totally addicted to nuts ( i dont keep them in the house anymore)
  New Goals:   Run a mile in 12 minutes (next weekend is the Cherry Creek Sneak) Run a 5k in May (run 1^st mile, walk 2^nd mile, run 3^rd mile) Run a 5k All the way through by July Participate in the Irongirl Sprint Tri

I believe in positive thought. You bring into your life what you think about. So I think positive, and positive things happen to me. I also remember to be appreciative and grateful.  Each day is a miracle, I'm so blessed to be a part of.
