Well, it's been two years, and a couple days, since I had VSG and life has changed...but not entirely.
I have lost almost 120 lbs total. Though in the last two months gained back ten. I blame some of it on this new birth control I'm having to take, but some of it is also me just slipping back into my old ways...which I'm struggling mightily with. However, I refuse to give up. So each day is a struggle. Some days are good, others, not so much.
Some accomplishments:
- I now run 5K's regularly
- I've participated in 2 10k's and have three more coming up
- I completed my first sprint triathlon this year
I would never have thought myself to be a runner. Honestly, I still hate it, but I know that if I want to stay healthy, the only way is through diet AND exercise.
So, the last two years seem to have blown by. And I know the surgery effect has long since left me. Going forward, it has to be ME who makes the change. But why does it have to be so damn hard??? lol
