I Just Jogged My 1St 5K

I did it! I was able to jog my first 5k. My goal was to jog the whole thing without walking, and I was able to. It felt AH MAZING! Mile 1 to 2 seemed really long, but I ran mile one in 12 minutes and the final mile was the finishing stretch. I am signing up for my next one to jog on 10/8. Prior to the run I had been training on the treadmill and it took me 45 minutes to run 3.1. I took it outside the week before the race and I only ran a little over 2 miles. So it felt gret to do the ful

Prepping For My First 5K

So I just had my 4th fill and I totally needed it. I could eat a whole hamburger patty and a small bag of chips. I haven't blogged in a while. Things are going pretty good. I feel really emotional right now. I am down 70lbs though. My hip is still on the fritz. I commited to the 5k for my birthday, so now I have to kick it into high gear for training. I just decided to commit and if my hip starts to hurt during the run that I can just walk. Now I just have to get over my pride and reali

Addiction

Oh, the struggles. I have had a rough couple of days. I have been VERY busy at work (140+ hours in 2 weeks) and it is getting to me mentally. I am tired and stressed and in my past life : ) this meant that I needed to hang out with my friend FOOD! So I am trying to work through this and I feel like a drug addict trying to kick a habit. I know I shouldn't be hanging out with my user friend bu I JUST WANT TO. I want to surrond myself with a table of FATTY food. All the delicious things I f

3Rd Month Down

I haven't posted in a while, but this month has been going pretty good. I feel GREAT! Well, besides my hip. I hurt my hip jogging but I bought some better shoes with more cushion and a new Ipod. I am excited to get my jog on. As soon as I get it set up today, I'm going to hit the pavement. I'm down 60lbs and this blows me away. I am half way to my first year goal. I am also 15lbs away to my post baby weight. Next stop, pre baby weight! I am fitting into my old clothes that I haven't fi

2Nd Fill

I had my 2nd fill today. My Dr was able to do it in the office this time and got it on the first poke. YAY! He put in 1 cc. I can totally feel it this time. Yesterday I was able to jog for 20 minutes straight. I was so stoked. It felt really good. Not much else to say today.

Rough Month

It has been one tough month. I really struggled this month. Even though I'm down, which I am happy about. I was 4lbs shy of my goal. I had an off week with excercise, which did not help. I am back on track. I am struggling with my C25K. I am just unmotivated to jog for those long periods right now. I repeated week 4 and couldn't finish workout 3 in accordance with the plan. I modified it so I would finish. I've decided to continue to jog and build up jogging time on my own pace. I am

Aaaargh!

OK, so it has been a week since my fill and last post. I did get up on Wednesday to do my run. However, when Friday rolled around, I could not get my booty out of bed. So when I got home from work I jumped on the treadmill. However, I was so wiped I was very frustrated as I had noooo energy. This then lead me to think about all the changes in my life, which overwhelmed me. I then started crying. Um, it totally makes it more difficult to breathe while one is crying and jogging at the same

First Fill

I had my first fill today. It wasn't too bad, but it still hurt. I was prepped before hand that I would probably need to go under the flouroscope (SP) so I was ready for that. However, upon arrival my doc wanted to try to access it without. Oh man. I got poked twice with that needle. It hurt. We then went down to radiology and it took 3 more pokes to finally find it. My port is facing the side instead of front ways. However, I did get 5.5cc put in there. Of course I am now on liquid fo

1 Month Down

So it has now been one month since my surgery. The last few weeks have been rough. I ended up getting really sick. I got strep throat and dehydrated. I am stubborn and did not go to the Doc for a week so I did not get on antibiotics for a full week. So I was sick for about 2 weeks. I was sooo dehydrated I got a charlie horse in my calves everytime I took a step. I was thankful that I was still off of work from the surgery. I started feeling better about 7 days ago and I am back on track.

2 Weeks Post Surgery

So it has been two weeks since my surgery. I feel like things are going great. I am down a total of 32lbs. I even lost weight on my trip, which is a new experience. My only complaint is that I am hungry. I can't wait to get my first fill, as this should help. I am trying to stick to my 2oz/1/4c. I find that I have to eat more often with this. I got back Monday night and was able to start up my Zumba again. Man, I love Zumba. I just do it on the WII, but it is soooo much fun. Plus, 36

Day 1 Of Semi Real Food

YAY for today! I got to start mushies today. So I woke up, did 32 minutes of Zumba and ate the awesomest scrambled eggs ever. It was really hard not to drink with my meal. I tried to practice this pre surgery, and it did not go well. I told myself it would be easier when I was only eating a 1/4 cup of food. No, not easier. However, I am not going to dwell on this because this morning has been sooo great. I feel fantastic. It felt so good to work up a sweat with the Zumba. I have been s

Post Surgery

OMG! Finally starting to feel better. I have no idea why I thought the recovery would be easier. Day of surgery was OK as was my same day release. Got home and things were still pretty good. Next day, not so bueno. And every day after that, until today-not so bueno. I was warned that day three was usually the worst due to the healing of the port, so I was ready for that. Totally not ready for that horrible gassy pain in my entire abdomen. Pure agony! I feel like, I think I handle pain

3 Days Away

So, just finishing up regular liquids and moving to clear tomorrow. I'm sooo used to starving at this point, so it is much easier. I lost the weight I needed to and then some, so everything is set. My only slip up on my liquids has been that I haven't excercised as much as I would like. I feel so drained that I have a hard time really hitting the cardio. I did do the eliptical for 30 this week. I like to hit at least 3 workouts a week and usually do 4-5. I am going to get in a Zumba class

Pre Op Diet

OK, so 2 days of liquids and I am STARVING! I warned my office mates to be careful about getting their arms too close to my face. It would be hard for them to get their work done, if I happened to eat one.   In the meantime, I am getting banded on 3/27. I have 4.8 more lbs to loose prior to the surgery. I do my final weigh in on Friday. I have scheduled a hair appt for the 26th too. Getting it all chopped off to start my journey with a new fabulous hair do. YAY! I thought it would be
