  1. I pushed myself a little this morning on my run. I ran longer and walked less. I can feel the difference. It took me longer to recover at the end, but I added a half mile to my 30 minutes of run time. I feel like running is becoming an addiction for me and I need to tread carefully. I find myself thinking about my next run throughout the day and I am already researching my next pair of shoes. I guess there are many more worse activities that I could be doing, but there is still this little uneasiness as I feel myself changing on the inside as well as the outside. 

    I had several church members remark and compliment me on my weight loss yesterday at church. Nobody asked me how I was losing, probably because most of them know I have been following a  carb diet  since January. I still haven't gotten to a place where I feel comfortable talking about my surgery. Maybe someday in the future I will.

    Tomorrow will be the 8th Monday since surgery. I am inching closer to a normal weight. I am simple overweight now and not obese. I can't remember how long it has been since I have been this weight (184.5), but it has been at least 9-10 years. I will be 49 in August and I am starting to believe I will reach my goal before I turn 50.

    Have a great Sunday everyone!

      I'm so proud of you!!! You've found a great activity for yourself. Now, with all the running/jogging, are you stretching? I'd encourage you to take the time to stretch EVERYDAY. It'll help lessen any chances of injury. I would so hate to find out that you won't be able to run for a while, I know the feeling all too well with injuries.

      Like you, many of my church family has commented on my loss too; but I'm so transparent, I tell the world what I did. LOL I've had one tell me that she canceled an orientation for wls; she's rethinking it now. There's no rule that you have to share what you did, only how you feel about it (or know how others might take it). So, if you're not ready, maybe you don't have to or will ever want to/need to share it. It's your life, you can live it quietly. :)

      I really do believe you'll hit your goal way before 50. Go APPLE1!!!!

      Thank you @Newme17. I am spending some time stretching, but thank you for reminding me just how important it is.
