Hanging in here...
Oct 29, 2010
I haven't had the time to come in and blog as much as I should since moving back to Colorado. I have been dealing with trying to find a job---I am trying to find a part-time job as I am want to continue training for a triathlon over the winter months.I don't even have a car anymore....I finally decided to stop putting loads of money into it.
I have found that riding my bike 90% of the time....(even for grocery shopping....LOL) has become my main mode of transportation and my biggest stress reliever!! In an average week, I log in about 20-25 miles....not as much as I want to. I think that I will increase to about 40-45 miles just to get ready for the triathlon that I want to do.
I am now under 180 pounds and my bmi is now 28!!! I never thought that I would ever see this weight, let alone have a bmi under 30! Today I decided to weigh in at the fitness center (I have started going to a fitness center to use the sauna and jacuzzi---love it after riding my bike there)
and was shocked to see that I lost 6 more pounds. As of today, I am only 19 pounds over my "ideal" goal weight...and it hasn't even been 8 months....I thank God, Dr. Sadha and Dr. Chapman helping me to have had this surgery!
I have been visited several friends here in Denver that hadn't seen me in more than 2 years (the last time they saw me was before we moved to New York and I weighed over 300 pounds). One of them kept staring at me....she didn't even recognize me with the weight loss. It's great to be complimented on losing the weight...it definitely keeps me motivate!!! I want to be at my goal weight (160 pounds---for my 50th Birthday by December 16th!) or as close to it as possible.
In closing, I found that I have missed blogging....it is my way to say..."I'm doing alright. The future is getting better and I can do it." Simple motivations.....
