A walk around the "block"! YAHOO!

Hello OH family! I am soooo excited! I had my three month surgery anniversary on Monday the 11th and I have decided that it is okay to start pushing myself a little more so..... I have been going to Planet Fitness three days a week. Saturday my daughter convinced me to try the treadmill and I walked for 5 minutes at 1.5 speed and cooled down at 1.0 for 2 mins. for a total of 7. Then when I went again on Monday I passed on the treadmill.... I was sad I did not try harder... but Tuesday I walked on the treadmill first before my workout for arms!!!! I was so excited that it felt pretty good! 

Today I walked (with my walker) around the "block" near my house!  The "block" is oh about a half a mile or maybe 3/4!!!! I stopped only twice! Once for about 2 mins at half way and once at 3/4 of the way for a minute. There was some up hill too!  Not steep but enough!

I am so excited! I haven't done that walk since the children were little... say..... 13 years or so ago!!!!   I have decided that I will walk the block on the days that I don't go to the gym.... so M, TU, TH will be the gym and Wed, Fri, and Sat will be walking the block... No exercise on Sunday

I was happy to have a great day! And after barfing two days in a row I am so happy to not be barfing today! I am now trying to get a whole week with no barfing! That would be awesome!

I was also plateaued  with my weight loss but recently I went to the vitamin shoppe and bought some ISOPURE assorted flavors and am making sure I drink at least one whole bottle every day.... now I am loosing again! That and increased exercise and making sure I get enough food. I realize now that I was not getting enough because I was barfing so much and not keeping the food I had eaten. So anyway! Phew! Moving on..................

Now my next goal is to go from 49.1 lost in three months to being under 300 by my daughter's high school graduation on June 7th and then to 100 lost in 6 months. I go back to the surgeon in August just after my six month anniversary so I am pressing on!!!!!

Two years ago I literally couldn't walk further than from my house to the mailbox.

Now I walk 3-5 miles every day.

Keep up the good work!
