I'm doing it!!

So tomorrow is the big day..I finish week 5 of the www.c25k.com program with a 20 minute run.  I am so freaking excited!  I've started weight training and it seems the running and training have kick started my metabolism and I've lost 7.5 lbs in the past week.  Sweet deal. 

So it's official, I'm going to run a half marathon in Toronto, ON on May 15, 2011 for Team Diabetes.  See the link below, as I am trying to raise funds for Team D, as I have lost both of my parents to this disease and other loved ones.  In addition, I had diabetes and with the RNY I have become diabetes free!  WOOHOO!

If anyone has any info on music podcasts for training for a half marathon could you please let me know?  Thanks...OMG I love this new lease on life.

BTW...got the results from my gastroscopy and everything has healed from my mouth to the bottom of my pouch...my pouch is looking awesome and perfect according to the surgeon.  They are sending me to another specialist to get an idea of what is going on from the bottom up so to speak.  Good news is that I'm throwing up less and every day is not filled with tonnes of pain!  There's a light at the end of this tunnel!  And I totally stopped myself from emotionally eating and took an hour long walk with the pup...I'm changing my life and I love it!

Great to hear that your test went well Michelle. 

Enjoy your new lease on life.  Gotta love the freedom from excess weight.  Wishing you all the best as you train for your half marathon, you can do this.

How awesome lady! I am so proud of you and the effort you are putting into your journey! You are kicking butt!
I hope they find what is going on and can get it fixed for you asap! It is a really significant step and accomplishment when you can choose to put a stop to the emotional eating and choose healthier alternatives to turn to during those tough times.  You are an inspiration!
