My big day

Today is the day. I am leaving in 6 minutes to drive an hour north to the hospital for the final stages of my JOURNEY. What a journey this has been, up down, sideways, multi-directional, "one direction" all of it...but I made it, a little battered and bruised from the ass kicking that I have been putting myself through at the gym but I'm OK, I'm stronger and that is what counts...Here we go... :) Thanks for reading, thanks for caring...

3 weeks to go!

I weighed myself today and LOST 1.7 pounds (.77 kg). I was a tad disappointed as I am only 3 weeks away from surgery and I have a number in my head that i really want to hit..Again, I don't have to hit this number to get the surgery but it is my own personal goal.  I will take the loss, because after all it is a loss but I just like to see my losses beginning with a 2 or a 3! I had some really great moments this week...I added another workout to my regimen and I was able to take a full minute off of my running interval time for a workout that I have been doing...Last night at boot camp two people came up to me to say that I look absolutely incredible and another said she has missed class for the last month and did a complete double take! I love hearing these things as they really act as my fuel to keep going, keep pushing! I am quite nervous about this surgery, I mean I am super excited but I am definitely nervous...The surgery is 24 days away...In 24 days my entire life will change...its soooo exciting...Thanks for reading!
