It's been forever

Nov 30, 2009

It's been forever since I've written.  I think it's mostly because I fell off the wagon.  After I broke the 200lb mark, things just kinda started to fall apart for me.  I started snacking more and more on all the wrong things and I stopped excersizing.  I don't really know why, but  I did.  The weightloss came to a screeching hault (to be honest, I gained 5 lbs - back up to 203).  I was in shock for a while about it - called it a stall, cursed my scale, but it was all my own doing.  Rob went to see the surgeon because he was having some issues of his own.  Dr. W gave us what I call a Smackdown.  He explained that there was no reason that we shouldn't still be losing weight and prescribed us a more strict diet and sent us to a therapist.  It was just what I needed!  Like magic, the weight started coming off again (down to 194).  I have been doing really good at tracking my calories and paying more attention to what I put in my mouth.  I'm back at the gym - consistently and the scale is moving! (I am really not an idiot despite what you may read).

I'm signed up to do a 5k on Dec 19th and I'm gonna do great!  I'm hoping to beat my best time of 45 minutes.  I recognize that means I'm going to have work at that, but I am totally committed.   I KNOW I am going to make it to the hundred lb mark.  I hope by the first of the year, but I may even surprise myself and do it sooner.

I read a comment recently, "for some of us the weight just falls off - the rest of us have to fight for every pound".  That really struck a nerve with me.  I am going to be one of those that has to fight, I had a temper tantrum about that for a few months, but now I'm over it.  I AM going to fight for myself to beat this thing.  I didn't go through all of this for nothing.  I'll let you know how the 5K turns out.
