Finished My First 5K Today!

I did my first 5K today on my 3 month post surgery anniversary!!! Although I wasn't really happy that it took me 48 minutes to complete it I do have to think back and realize that 3 months ago I may not have been able to even finish it much less run half of it. This surgery has really been a blessing in my life!!! And thanks everyone that has shown support since I have started my training. It's always a nice feeling when you know you have people cheering you on!!!

Training Is Going Awesome!

So I've been in training for the Graffiti Run (it's a super fun 5K) and it is going so GREAT!!! I never realized how much I could truely accomplish when I really put my mind to it. If anyone else is thinking about trying a 5K I found an app called couch-to-5K. IT WORKS!!!! I've gotten my miles down to 15 minutes a piece which for me is out of this world mind blowing!!!! I find myself just relieving so much stress now on the track and the fact that I actually have the energy to do it now amazes m

Officially In Training

So as of yesterday I am officially in training for my first 5K run. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. I really needed something to get me jump started.

It's a no pressure run that isn't about winning but more about celebrating the fact that you can actually finish the 5K. So yesterday I started my first day of training

Welp yesterday I decided I would try on those same pants (since my Husband has taken and hidden the scale I don't really have a c

A Day Without Cake

Today we had my daughter's 8th birthday party...I've always been a sweet eater...birthday cake was always a for sure thing for me at parties...I never knew how people had the will power or just the unwant of cake (or any sweets for that matter)...but today I realized how much this surgery really has changed me...I didn't even have the yearning to cut myself the smallest crumb of cake...It really didn't hit me until the end of the party after everyone had left...I got so excited when I realized I

Scaling Back

Ok so today I made my Husband take the scale out of the bathroom and hide it from me....I was driving myself completely crazy...I would get on the dang thing everytime I walked by it...I mean I'm not sure what I was expecting to see everytime I got on it...I mean it's not like I was gonna drop 10 pounds every 10 minutes lol but apparently that's what I was looking for...But it's gone now and I only want to see it maybe once every 2 weeks....hopefully this will lighten the stress and craziness in

Weight Lifted Off My Shoulders (Literally)
