NSV.........Ran my First 5K!!!
This morning I ran my first 5K. I had hoped to run the entire thing but it was quite hilly so I had to walk a few times to make it to the top of the hills. However, I ran faster than I ever have in the gym and finished just under 38 minutes. For a slow poke like me this was wonderful. 
Next is a big challenge. My older brother is a marathoner and I am joining his Ragnar Relay Team and will be running, 3 miles, 4 miles, and 2 miles in the 199 mile Ragnar Relay from Miami to Key West in January. I would NEVER have done these things before surgery.....due to not being able to physically do them and due to being embarrassed. So very grateful.

p.s. met with my surgeon earlier this week and he says I am doing great. I continue to aim for a BMI of normal. We will see if I get there. This turtle is doing things no matter how slow the weight comes off. 
Blessings to everyone!
