Hi Everyone!
This has been a great day for me. I woke up and weighed myself this morning and was absolutely astounded to see the number on the scale reflect a 49lbs loss total from my heaviest weight (this was last January). The further I get away from that number the happier I will be!!!
Tonight, after work I went swimming with a co-worker of mine. It felt great even though we only swam for 30 minutes. I pushed myself a bit and felt great at the time, a big difference from six months ago. Then I could only swim a length at a time. Tonight I was doing two at a time and actually probably could have done more had I not been waiting up on my friend. I didn't want to get too ahead of her. It was probably just as well, i am feeling it now as I write this.
My stamina is back, my mind isn't as sharp as it was pre-surgery though. I get frustrated at work as I tend to not think as cohesively as I did pre-surgery. Is suspect the lack of food and energy sources may be the culprit. I know I shouldn't drink caffeine, but perhaps it would help a bit more in my mind area.
The difference in the way I move is amazing. That extra nearly 50lbs was just dreadful. I can' t believe I allowed myself to get that big?! Now that I've gotten it off, I can see I am so much better off. I have not weighed this latest number since about 2006. My goal is by the time I go home for Christmas this year, to be down a total of 75lbs! That would be super awesome.
I have quit playing facebook games and now have spent more of my free time planning my new regimen for the healthier me. It's a lot of work to plan meals and figure out what exercise one can do to "change it up" and keep it interesting.
This is a quick post, but I will post some more pictures here in the upcoming weeks. I think it has been becoming even more noticeable in the past ten pounds.
I feel so darn good, it is so nice to have lost more weight at one time than ever before. I have hit a monumental milestone for myself today and I feel great!
Here's a great quote:
"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
