8 mons post op

Hi all~ I wanted to let you all know that I updated my profile with 2-8 month post op pics. The first is at the top in the photo flick thing and the other is at the bottom with my last update post. Work is going well at the gym. I do my two cardio classes a week and it feels good to say that I really whip those girls' butts!! I work the fitness room as a personal trainer 2 nights a week. I am taking over for 2 weeks for another class called "ready set sweat" beginning tonight. Then this fall (Nov) I will start going to one of our local daycares and teaching toddler fitness 2 days a week to 20+ out of control 3 year olds. Friday was interesting to say the least. When I got done work (9pm) I went out to my car to leave when a guy on a bike tried to mug me. My purse was stuck on my wrist so I had to run beside him until he decided to let go. What made me mad is that I have been running 5 days a week on the treadmill since mid-July and for the first time in my life I HAD to run and guess what........I pulled a muscle in my foot!!! I couldn't even walk on Saturday. It's feeling about 80% better now thank god. As far as my weight is concerned....on Saturday I weighed 177. My doc's goal for me was 180. My personal one is 169. I have lost a total of 144. Wow...that just seems surreal!! I'm gonna try to "pop" in more often...I miss all you guys!! **muah** Dawn

Very awesome job Dawn........................I know what you mean surreal I had to write my weight down today so I didn't forget, it was like I was trying to convince my self it was true............ HAVE A GREAT DAY Tori
