I don't notice a difference when I look in the mirror but I do notice a difference when I look at photos week over week.

I'm three months post op. I can run for 30 minutes at least three times a week. I haven't had the stamina for that in a while. I feel like I'm coming back to me.

I reached 150 this morning, which was my original goal weight. Before surgery I thought 150 was unrealistic and that I would be satisfied with 170. Now I've adjusted my goal weight down to 140 and am quite confident of reaching it. (I weighted 127 when I went into the Army!)
In reference to the body dysmorphia comment, I still think of myself as fat, and I'm shocked every time I see myself in a mirror or a shop window. I wonder whether that ever goes away.

My most dramatic moment so far was getting sick from the anesthesia after surgery. It was a rough 72 hours but after that, it's been smooth sailing so far.

I will be 1 year shy of 60, cancer free for 9 years. Going to the gym 4 days a week and eating healthy will just be who I am and not a big deal.

Did my arm work out and posted this quote from my favorite book.

Late to the game because of vacation. I sort of fell off the June challenge and posting so I hope to be better about it this month.

Starting weight 208
Post Op- Sleeve 4+ months

Goals:
Participate in the arm challenge and Instagram Challenge. My IG handle is @NYC_PAULA
Loose 8 Pounds-I had a stall for a couple weeks and finally dropped two more pounds. I'd love to get to 200 by the EOM so I can get to Onederland by my six months check up in August.

I added a weights machine circuit to my fitness routine a couple months ago. I’ve noticed that I can do more reps and lift heavier weights on each machine now compared to a couple months ago.

I walk faster than the Google Maps estimates

My waist is now smaller than my right thigh was 7 months ago.

Run and weight circuit day.

5. I’m always afraid of failing or not being liked by others. I get a little better at quieting my inner critic but it’s not easy.

I can clasp my hands behind my back. And although I was still the biggest person on my travel tour, I wasn't the slowest or the least fit. I kept up with the tour guide, climbed over ruins, and hiked up hills with ease. I'm starting to see muscle definition again and my shoes feel too big. The weight loss is slowing down, but I'm still seeing wonderful changes.

I've been traveling for work so just hoping in now.

I was sleeved on 2/7/19

My goals for this month are
-Lose 10 pounds (that seems to be what I average in a month)
-Do 3 sessions of Bridge 2 10K each week. I just started yesterday with my first session. I'm training to run in a DC Comics 10K run this fall.

Good luck everyone with your June goals!
