C25K W2D1

I blog a lot, but this is a first for me. Two blog entries in one day!

I'm still doing C25K and our group has grown a bit. Another friend, Kira, has joined and Kelly's boyfriend Rigel has started running with us too.
 

I was nervous for today. Today's runs were 90 seconds each. I completed the first two sets and then I had to go at my own pace. I still am not last and I feel stronger every day. Today I completed the activity 4 minutes faster than Saturday for basically the same distance. Including our 7 minute warm up walk, today I ran/walked 2.13 miles in 33 minutes. :) :) :)

Kelly, Rigel, and I arrived early and did a warm up 1.2 mile walk also. I really feel good. I like this and hate it at the same time, hard to explain how that's possible. I just feel so good afterward and it doesn't matter that I'm slow or that I'm *almost* last. I still feel good and I feel like I'm accomplishing something!!

Also...I may be slightly obsessed with the idea of running a 5k. I signed up for another one today.... On June 22, I'll be doing this:

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
