    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 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.

    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.

    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'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!

    I didn't really do the To-Do list or journaling challenge. I'm constantly learning new things at work though.

    Today was my weekly weigh in. Down 3 more pounds. Hoping to lose 4 more to get to my goal at the end of the month but we'll see.

    18. I had a mani-pedi which included a massage!

    19. I plan on taking a long shower after a run this morning.
