Topic: Spinathon/duathalon
Hey all....
tomorrow I am doing a spinathon fundraiser at the hanover YMCA...i signed up for 2 hours...plus I have a raining session after....who is this woman???? I am also training for a duathalon... 2mile run, 12 mile bike finishing with another 2 mile run....have NEVER EVER been able to run...now first time was 2.5 miles...now up to 3.6 usually followed by a 1 hour spin class...
Toughest part of this entire thing is being confident....because I am still obese Julie in my head...and when I am ready to push myself it is an incredibly difficult struggle to get into my new Julie mode...things I am working on in therapy. it'll just take time!!!
Anyhow...really just wanted to share with my OH friends!!!

Topic: A New Me with Pictures!!! plus an update :)
Hey all. I am approximately 7 weeks out and FULL of energy. After about a week from being hospitalized for the blockage I was doing a bit better and the weight that had stalled started coming off much quicker. I was 248lbs when I started and I am currently 204lbs. I am dying to hit 199! I cant wait. Not to mention I am in a size 16 jeans again! This is so amazing since I havent been able to fit into my "old" clothes in so long. Now I cant fit into anything I was wearing before the surgery. :D (I just dont want to go shopping yet since its coming off too fast). Ill figure it out. Okay enough about my goals and struggles and accomplishments. Here are my pictures! :) 2 befores and a lil risque one and a face pic but i feel good so who cares :P Ill post more to my album when I can figure it out. xoxo loves!

Hey mama, Dont sweat it and I say that knowing it doesnt matter what I say because ur going to just like I did. It passes. I feel better than ever and I am now 1 day shy of 7 weeks out. I felt good last week too. It just takes time and if it makes u feel any better I cannot get my allotted amount of fluids in per day yet either. Keep up the good work. You are your biggest critic so dont be hard on urself when you cant meet all of the "goals" they set for you. Take it easy and have a happy and safe recovery! xo
