Repositioned: start of my journey

My sleeve surgery date is November 7, 2011 and I'm at midpoint with my 2 week pre op liquids. At this point, I don't have any more ambivalent feelings. I have been trying to lose weight on my own for the past 20 years and have done a great job losing, but keeping if off has been a different story altogether (as I'm sure it has been for many of you as well). My last great weight loss effort was with Crossfit...I got hurt doing that and have not been able to participate with full effort since then. If you know Crossfitters (as I do) then you know there's no room for people who don't give 110% to a workout because of an injury. I loved Crossfit, but I love myself more and there just wasn't room enough for the 2 of us; so I'm back at the Global gym (with central heat and air) working out there. I still love to do squats, pushups and lunges, but I'm done with running and box jumps for sure (my feet just can't take those anymore).

 

I'm repositioning my efforts with a new tool. I will lose weight again, but this time I will be able to maintain that loss with my sleeve. My Goliath is finally not just going to fall, he's going to die once and for all.
