If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be running, I would have laughed at them. LOL!! I twisted my knee running last Tuesday so I took the rest of the week off. I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to run at all on Saturday but I did it!! Not only did I do it, I ran my fastest 5K time ever. Yay me!! Even though the scale and I are not friends right now, I feel good and I am so proud of myself. I have been challenged to run a half marathon in Sept. (I must be crazy). I have a lot of work to do. Game on!! :)

Wonderful! Congratulations! Running my first 5K I think was even more fulfilling and exciting than running my first 1/2 marathon. I guess mainly because it was the first realization I had that I could do something athletic and push my body further than I ever thought I could. Good luck on your 1/2 marathon.Just stick with a good training plan and you'll do great!

That's awesome. Way to go! I had surgery last month and plan to run one in December. I want to give myself time to lose some weight and get in shape in general. I've never even run a mile in my life but often wished I was more of a runner.

You look great! What an awesome accomplishment for you. Be proud!! I feel the same way about no way in hell can I do it now, but that is my goal. I can walk a 5K, but I want to RUN one!!

Congrats!! Way to keep on keeping on in spite of you injury. That's the sign of being committed.

I am running my first 5k on April 9th. I have walked several, but this one will be the final workout of my C25K plan! I am thinking I should be able to run at least 80% of that distance. I am really slow so 30 minutes of running isn't going to quite get me to the finish line.

Congrats again and keep it up!

Pam

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
