Reporting In on my 5K

Well, Guys, Short and Chunky reporting in. It has been a long road with this concussion/whiplash thing. Almost 2 years of restricted physical activity, headaches, seizures and pain. I am glad to report that this has all finally getting better and I have returned to "working the streets"...yep, I am doing 5Ks again. I have just completed by second one in a month - I am a bit of an over-achiever!!!! My first one I completed in 50:07 min and my second 46:35 min. I am so proud of myself. I have actually signed up for 2 more. I have this theory, I sign up for a race, pay for the race...I will DO THE RACE. I don't want to waste the $$..

 

New problem has surfaced though. After having my band w/plication for almost 3 years, I now have reflux. WHAT ??? Reflux..are you kidding me? Anyway, Dr. C removed to fluid, it got better, it put the fluid back and all was OK...BUT..he did a flouroscope and said my stoma had a funky shape and he didn't like the looks of that so he removed all the fluid in my band....Yes, I said ALL THE FLUID. Are you joking? After my fall and the fluid going in and out and my struggles to keep the weight from going up and now this? I weigh the same today that I weighed a year ago..POO...Dr. C said that is a victory because it sure could have gone the other way. I want to loose 20 more pounds but with no fluid...well, you all know what that meant. SWEETS, CANDY, open season on eating. I didn't start out that way, it just snuck up on me. I gained 8 pounds. RATS. Saw Dr. C on Friday and 3cc were put back in so I am on the liquid, soft routine for now. Hope to be a good girl and get back in the saddle. Short and Chunky does not wish to be Chunky again. I am enjoying being a size 8. Although I must admit, when I look in the mirror I still see CHUNKY. Hoping to be a good girl and not to damage "my Precious pouch". It has become my friend and has helped me achieve that which I could not do on my own..get skinnier.

 

Take care my friends and please let me hear from you. Your stories and words of encouragement help more than you know. Sometimes this can feel like a lonely road to travel as I don't know anyone who has this alien in their stomachs except on this site.

 

Short and Not so Chunky out for now....

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
    • I'm literally almost crying reading this. Mostly because I'mon this pre-op diet and these last two days have been difficult... but also because I needed this! Thank you! Congrats!
