Who would've thought.....

Who would've thought that surgery would make me gain weight instead of lose! I mean, I didn't eat for 3 days, only ice chips, and then for 2 days after that, it was strictly clear liquids and bland foods! Anyway, just had to share my frustrations.....

Yippeeeeeeeeee......

Since my last post, almost 6 months ago, I've made considerable progress, slow, but considerable none-the-less! I'm now down to 196! And my goal was to get below 200, I did it! I'm aware that it is taking me a long time to lose even a little weight, but all I care about is that I'm losing and not gaining! It feels so good to take control of my life and working towards getting a healthier me! If you'd like, you can track my journey in working up to running a 5K! I won't be running competitively or anything, but I'd like to prove to myself that I can do it, and I really want to get back into running! Believe it or not, I used to be a pretty good runner in college! So far, I'm on day 2 of my first week of training and I'm battling back pain, and horrible shin splints, I mean very painful! Jamen said that he felt the same way when he was getting back into shape, so I just need to make it past these next few weeks and get my body past the shock of exercise!
