This past week was pretty good. I've been expireminting with food. I'm still not a great cook. I went to my WLS Hospital support group yesterday. They had a chef there to teach us how to cook better for ourselves. I'm feeling a bit motivated - so Turkey Meatloaf and Asian Lettuce Wraps - Here I come! LOL.
Mini-victory: I discovered I can put on my smallest pair of jeans that I have worn in my adult life :) I have a bit of a muffin top in them - but.... they still button and I can breathe in them!
Also - I felt like I needed another challenge... a goal of sorts. So I signed up for my first 5k that I intend on RUNNING. I've walked a 5K - but never RUN one before. So I figured I had better make it an awesome one. So I signed up for Beachpalooza in Galveston, TX on September 23rd. If you aren't familiar with this - it is a crazy 5K race on the beach with a 10 stop obstacle course built into it. You can find out more about it here: http://beachpalooza.com/.
I've been walking a few miles a day to slowly get started in training. I've been posting to facebook to hold myself accountable. I am finding that this helps - because if I miss a day - I have friends asking me where was my workout :)
OK - thanks for reading this week. I hope all finds you well on your weight loss journey.
