No exercise = no weight loss
so i fell back into my usual pre-surgery laziness. some of this was fueled by my continual weight loss w/o having to lift a finger, plus for a time I was told i was not 'allowed' to exercise b/c i lost too much weight too fast. Well, that time has long since gone and during my 6 month check up it was emphatically told to get my ass off the couch and take it to the gym (Not that i didn't know that. I hadn't had been oscillating up and down between the same 3 lbs for almost 2 months). So saturday, i did just that and w/in a DAY, my weight dropped to a new low.
In addition to do weight training, i decided to do the couch to 5K program. I did my first run yesterday. It felt really good w/o my pre-surgery 45lbs.
So much for the 'easy way', but it was time for me to have a reality check. I was wasting the gift that this surgery is, maybe b/c this weight feels so good and even if i didn't lose another pound i'd be pretty happy here. I have 5 months to lose 45 more lbs. it's not impossible. it's quite possible.
