Every Ounce Counts!

I weighed myself today and I lost .8 lbs (.36 kg).  AT first glance I was a definitely a little annoyed but you know I have no right to be! I had a good week I finished my THIRD run on the 5K running app, I went to spin, did my weights...and my diet was good...Therefore, I CHOOSE to look at this as another drop in my bucket that will at some point OVER FLOW with all of the effort I have put into this journey since the beginning...

So the running is a HUGE victory for me, I have to say, RUNNING IS HARD! Holy crap! I am really feeling it..what is interesting is that when I was heavier I felt the STRAIN on my body but now I feel it cardiovascularly...Does that mak sense? Not that I am not hurting in my body but it is different, the hardest part is breathing! LOL As I am running, I am reciting, I CAN DO THIS!!!

I went to visit a plastic surgeon thsi week just to inquire about future skin removal.  He said he would like me to lose 75 more pounds, which was expected, but one thing he SHOCKED me about was that he dos not recommend the upper thigh area to be removed..He said the outcomes would not be that good becuase of teh delicacy of the area....that was disappointing..oh and he also said it costs $25,000 just for the tummy and arm area! I would have to pay that amount up front and then see if my insurance coveres any of it, which if they did would not be anywhere CLOSE to that amount! The option to have this done in Venezuela is still an option but that is just scary to me, regardless of teh fact that ,my uncle is a doctor and would hook me up with someone good...not sure how I feel at this point but those surgeries are a while a way..got to get this 75 off!!!!!! Anyway thanks for reading
