At 400+ pounds, I finally pushed myself to get the Lap-Band surgery. This is the tale of how I'm trying to become the woman inside of me that's fighting to get out.

Ahhh, three days in a row

Yesterday I walked a full three miles! I'm so proud of myself that I can do it pretty easily. The only reason I don't do it everyday is because sometimes I just want to get home to DH or it just takes so long and I get bored.

Today it was storming right before I got off work, but it stopped raining when I got out. I took a risk and started walking, but it looked like it was going to start storming again, so I planned to do one mile. It seems like I can NEVER just do ONE mile. Got to the 1/2 mile mark and decided to keep going since it didn't start raining again yet. Then, a few minutes after that, the sun came out, almost like a reward for doing my full walk. I feel like I put more power into my muscles today as I walked, it was nice. I didn't finish any faster, but I feel like I got a better workout. I didn't run because the trail is blacktop; it was really slippery being so drenched from the storms today. I also didn't take my weights in fear of rain.

Tomorrow is my support group meeting's summer potluck and I'm taking low-fat Oreo fluff, made with crushed up reduced-fat Oreos, Cool Whip Free, and fat-free, sugar-free white chocolate pudding. I used to make the "regular" version a lot for picnics and such but I haven't tried it with low fat foods, we'll see how it works out.
