I am worth it!!! I just set a new personal record...two days in a row. Yesterday I shaved 9 minutes off of my 10k time and today I shaved 3 minutes off of my 5k time. I have lost 27 lbs since January 2, 2010. I am happy that I didn't give up and my hubby is back running with me. : )

Wow. I just noticed that two years ago tomorrow was my FIRST day to be a part of Lapbandtalk.com. I guess it is kind of an anniversary present to myself when I start again in the morning. Not that I am being bad tonight, but not exercising until tomorrow. :Dancing_wub:

NO FARTHER is the answer. I am not going to keep trying to kill myself with my own stupidity. Just because I lost my running partner (my hubby is working 7 days a week now and won't run), I refuse to continue down the wrong path. There are things I am going to do to amke little changes in my life. For starters: I will take my Thyroid meds. I will wear my CPAP, even though it swells my face beyond recognition. I will read my Bible daily. I will exercise daily...even if it is by myself! I will measure my food. I will get in enough protien. I will take a multi-vitamin. I will log my progress. I will make a daily schedule and stick to it. I am not waiting for the 1st of January! My new life starts tomorrow!!! :drool:

I am so excited. We did our 10k today and it only took 82 minutes. I know to some people that can run fast, that is a slow time, but for me it is awesome. The first thing I can do to improve my time is not walk at all. I walk for a little bit every mile or so. I also could improve the time if the stop lights would work with me. :thumbup:

Thank you both for the kind words.

Has anyone had to get new insurance and found that they were denied due ti having the Lapband? They told me today I could not get insurance and I don't remember them telling me when I got it that this might be a problem. It doesn't seem like this could be the case. You do this to get better and instead they leave you high and dry. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for any comments you might have. I am sooooo lost and upset.

I am so excited. Tim and I did our 6.2 loop yesterday and we improved 9 minutes over our previous best. That is s 21 minute improvement over my first time doing the route. We are heading out today. I am so excited to see if I can improved on that. I hope that I can stay this motivated for a long time to come.

Well today was the 21st day I have so longed for. We did the 6.2 mile course that we have mapped out. It was a breeze (we walked it). I hope that I am able to see the scales move soon. I gained 2 lbs. I am so frustrated. I now have blisters on my blisters (literally).

Well, we did 8.5 miles yesterday. Today we only did 3.5. I want to start weight lifting.

Hubby and I walked/ran 6.2 miles on 5/6/09 for a time of 110 minutes. On 5/7/09 we did it in 98 minutes. I am walking out the door in just a minute to try to better that time.

Ok, they said it takes doing something (good or bad) 21 days in a row to make it a habit. I am only on day 18 of exercising. I believe that it is becoming a habit, but I still don't want to do it. I guess the fact that with prayer and shear will power, I will make it to see how day 22 feels. :crying: The problem I have now is that since the scales aren't moving and I don't see a differce in how my clothes fit, I need to start yet another habit. Which one should it be? I need so many improvements. Since the hardest one is accomplished (in 3 days) I think I will add two this time. One physical and one spiritual. I want to not eat after 7pm and I want to read at least a chapter in my Bible every night. :biggrin:

Well, I did a route around my neighborhood that equals 10k. Sadly I only walked it, but the goal is to someday to RUN it. We did it in 1 hour and 50 minutes. I am going to go tomorrow to get new shoes as a sweet person reminded me that I should do. I still have not lost one lb and it has been 14 days. I actually gained 1 lb. I hope that I am able to see a little difference soon. I am still motivated, but without any change I can't see that losting for long. I am at 197 lbs today. I have made a goal to not eat after 7pm. I see that will have to start again tomorrow. I want to change what I eat also. I am pretty good with portions, but the quality of my food is horrific. I know that is what will need to change before I will see much of a change.

I went running with my hubby today and I ran 1.5 miles straight, then walked and jogged for 1 mile and then ran the last 1 mile. When we started "crawling" the 3.5 miles 12 days ago, our time was averaging 63-67 minutes. I did it in 45 minutes today. My goal is to do 3.5 in 30 minutes. In high school I ran 3.1 in 26 minutes, so I figure 30 minutes would be good for 3.5. I am almost 42 years old and I made that record for my self when I was 17. Twenty fove years later, let's see if it can be done. God is GREAT, anything is possible! My weight hasn't budged in 12 days. That is disappointing.

Thank you for the help/ I will check on getting some new ones. I never really thought about it, becasue these haven't been worn too long (used to dress in heels for work). You are right though, I need to see how they FIT!!! I love the fact that my body had no trouble running, just my feet were staging a protest. Thanks again.
