6 month surgiversary
So yesterday came and went without a second thought. Then I woke up this morning and realized it was 6 months ago that I had my surgery - where has the time gone????
A lot has happened in 6 months...
I am down 35 lbs since surgery (79 total). I am extremely proud of all I have accomplished in the past year and a half and am looking forward to the next leg of my journey.
I have discovered a love for exercise- especially Yoga...I have bent myself into shapes I thought only pretzels could accomplish.
I am more active and less *****y....my blood sugar is under better control (not perfect yet, but well on the way)- I am wayyyy less stressed - I can do stuff without dreading "Ugh I have to go up the stairs".
I am running a 3.5 mile race next week in Central Park - if you hear a thump - that was me passing out and mile 1.=)
I feel good for the most part. I have strangers walk up to me at work and tell them I am their inspiration - wow - me????? really?????
I have come so far and still have so far to go....there are still days when I feel like nothing more than "that fat chick" and there are days I feel on top of the world - thankfully the later are more frequent.
Onward and downward!
