Running To A Brighter Future

Aug 23, 2011

I haven't updated in a couple of weeks.....honestly, I have been too depressed to find the strength.  My year and a half relationship with my boyfriend has ended.  Even though I was having serious doubts for months and contemplating a break up since early July, it still hurts very much.  I instigated the break-up, but that doesn't mean that I didn't deeply love this man and will miss him very much.

Okay, back to my WLS journey!  Good news, I am down to 185 now!!     
I wasn't perfect with my running and weight training last week while I was feeling sorry for myself, but I am back on track now.  I am still doing 2 miles (30 minutes) on a treadmill and a mile (12-13 minutes) outside.  My goal is to push that to 1.8 miles outside, so that I can do a 3k in October.  I am sure that I can do this.  I WILL do this!!

I am very lucky to have some friends at work that are VERY encouraging and also doing the same thing.  We make a great team and they are very inspiring!!  I have gotten to where I don't think about my band too much these days.  Yes, my band keeps me from eating at times, and I know it keeps the hunger at bay....but what I concentrate on is living right.....not what my band is doing/not doing for me.  It's a different way of thinking for me.  I just keep thinking about getting in my cardio and weights and eating or drinking some protein. 

I am solidly back in to size 12, which is GREAT!!  I really want to get my size 10's out of storage in a month or two and be able to wear those jeans again!!  I CAN do this and I WILL do this!!  Have a successful week, everyone!!!
