LOVE the runners too. Lookin' good!!

Day 6 and on time!!! Maybe I can change! Lol

Week 1 update! Between the 1st and today, I'm down 3.8 lbs! I have been following my C25K program, hiked the 1st of 52 hikes for the year, and hit my goal of exercising 5 days out of the week! I am so close to the 180's! I desperately want to be there by time I have my 3 month follow up on the 17th. I want to have lost 45 lbs, so that's 5.6 lbs to lose in 11 days... I can do it!

Sorry I didn't post a fridge pic, but nothing as spectacular as all the beautiful fridges that look like they should be shown in homes and garden. My fridge is dirty and kid friendly with lots of snacks (healthy and not so), lots of leftovers for the family, stains, etc.

I have been doing so much better this month. Still not completely doing what I'm supposed to, but in AA we say it's progress not perfection. As long as I'm moving forward, I'm moving in the right direction.

Jan. 7th:

Today's Challenge also coincidences with my 14th month post op. My motivation/inspiration is to never become complacent. So while I enjoy the present and ponder on the future, I will also be vigilant about the past. Not all of it was terrible, I'm still the exact same person in almost every way that counts to me and that is a win, but in the past I neglected to place myself in the top tier of importance in my own life. Major change, hard fought victory.

I did track every single freaking day, so I made that goal. I did not stay in my carb limit - 3 days yes, 3 days no!!!

I am committed to tracking, now will add getting back to the gym. (I was all set to cancel my membership).

You are all my inspiration! ??

I want to get the rest of the weight off so I can get plastic surgery done.... I need to let that be my motivation.

Weight is the same, be patient. Take notes, improve method.

Day 7) my motivation/ inspiration, provided by my SO's sister, is a turtle. Those little buggers may be slow, but they keep going. I think a turtle is going to be my mascot for the year! I'm just glad to be out running and working out again, no matter my speed.
