Really? It was only a month ago? OK so a month and 2 days ago. But it seems that it was so long ago. I feel great and I forget that I still have restrictions on my diet and physical activities. The last month has definite been a journey. I just wonder what the year is going to bring.
I have hit my plateau, up and down 5 pounds this week. I am counting down the the days (12 to be exact) to when will get my first fill. I need it. Each day its getting harder and harder to resist the portions I know should not consume. Sadly its not out of boredom or addiction, just simply not paying attention to what I am eating and not setting a limit.
This is why I had the surgery, not something I can do on own yet. I have to use this tool to its full extent. Granted exercising helps. I am getting ready for the next 5k, just not looking forward to the cold February weather.
At least there is not shortage of support for me on this journey. I wish I could accept everyone's offers of being a "work out buddy" but my schedule is so hectic I hate to commit to people and then have to bail on them. Doesn't mean I don't want to work out, I am doing that at home now. But before I commit to anyone else I have to fulfil my first commitment to my youngest daughter. The 12 5ks in 2012 was suppose to be a way for me to find a way to not only get back into health, but also to bond more with my 15 year old daughter.
When I actually start doing the "Couch to 5k" program in a few weeks (have to wait for Dr clearance), those work outs will be with her. Having everyone join us for the 5ks will be great. Its amazing that so many people have offered to work out with me since they want to get healthy again too and join me on my journey. I hope you all realize your verbal (and written) encouragement is just as motivating for me as if you were running (or walking) along side me. Its nice to know I am not really doing this alone.
On that note THANK YOU all for your support!
