6 months out and lovin' life
Sep 27, 2012
At 6 months out I am down 110lbs. - this includes the Opti loss. I am buying a women's large- tops, bottoms are size 16 so far
.... I have had a few terrific NSV's, 
Most recent as this morning.... I went out for my morning run, was just planning on doing my 3k loop.... just out of curiousity, I went further to see if I could do it.... Well...I did it!! My Map MY Run app measured the distance at 5.04km. I was not dead by any means but I think I will max out my runs at 5k..... Then maybe work on the time.... I completed it in 38 minutes. Feelin goooood!!!
Next, I have learned that just because it doesn't look like it could possible fit...Try it on anyway....
I found a cute leather jacket on the floor at a party on the weekend...looked at it, didn't think it could possibly fit but tried anyway... Well, it FIT!!! AND I zipped it up too!!!!
I looked around the room, found the owner of this jacket and well, well, well, it was my neighbour's 17 year old daughter!!! An instant warm, thrilled, ecstatic feeling came over me!!! I was floating on cloud 9!!
Another little victory......I have not been ignored by sales staff in athletic stores!!!... they were pleasant and helpful when I was recently looking for new runners for my upcoming race(s) yup... races.... a 3k in a week and a half , then a 5k in November!!!
okay okay.... I mostly feel like it is bragging when I write these things out..... but dammit, they feel so good to finally own these statements!!! I know everyone reading these will understand, they have either also achieved these or are hoping to....
I do slip every now and then, but I am learning that these slips can be controlled and will not become a habit again. I know I can live my life in a healthy manner and still live a little.
I still check the scale twice a week. Friday is when I record my weight because it was a Friday when I had my surgery. Then I also check around Tuesday to see if there has been any changes. TMI but my bowels are shy and sometimes need a reminder to move.... thank goodness for Milk of Mag!!! I have learned to spend the extra $$ for the Phillips brand wild cherry flavour... The Equate version really sucks!!!
I have my 6 month follow up in Ottawa on the 9th of October..... went for the blood work yesterday so I will have results at my visit. I hope all is well now that I am taking extra Iron!! I hope to be down a few more lbs by then but I have really noticedthe scale slowing down.... That is OK!!! I know the last bit will be the hardest!
BTW, it was the clinic that set 190lbs as my goal.... I would like to get below that and then some just to prepare for the bounce back..... But where oh where will my body like to settle..... Top model?? never!!! But I would be happy with a size 12!! (secretly hoping for smaller lol)
Anyway, pretty sure that is enough said for now.... Hope everyone stays well, Fall is here and so are those cold mornings!!! Brrrr
