It has been a while

I have been really busy with work and life lately that I have not been able to update my blog.  It s crazy how busy life can get.  But lately somedays it seems like all I do is work and sleep. And workout of course because that is what I seem to always be wanting to do when instead of sitting around at home.


I started seeing a psychologist last month to try and figure out how to realize that I have lost a lot of weight and maybe it is almost time to stop.  Or at least start to slow the weight loss down.  It has been hard to figure it out but I think they are finally getting through to me. 


This mental struggle has been pretty hard for me.  I have seen some people that have not recognized me and I still have a hard time believing the person in the mirror is still me.  But I also find as I loose weight I am also changing.

So....

I have been thinking I need new goals to keep me active and less obsessed about my weight loss. I was thinking about doing another 5k in the summer and then I started to think. How about I push myself and do a 10k. I might be odd but I really enjoy running. The whole time I listen to sermons on my iPhone and it actually takes my stress away. That and stairs. I do enjoy doing stairs most of the time now. Now That I have actually admitted it I probably will end up doing one hour of stairs at bootcamp tonight and I will start to hate them.

I have been really busy with work and church stuff so it seems like I am never home. I think my cats miss me when I am gone because they will not leave me alone when I am at home. Which is a good thing. At least they still like me. 

Well that's all for this week. I have to get to bootcamp. Hopefully I will not have to do too many stairs. 

40 weeks...

So I am now 40 weeks out of surgery and have lost 180 pounds in total.  I am feeling more and more like a new person.  People are starting to not recongnize me anymore which is a great feeling.

Yesterday I got the results from my one year post cancer testing and I am still considered cancer free. Which is so exciting. Now I just have to do a ultrasound and a biopsy once a year and everything should be good. Which is really exciting. 

I have started bootcamp again. I crave exercise all of the time so I thought I would start working out more again. I spoke with my surgeon and have the ok to do all of the exercise I want as long as I eat food. So yesterday and today I did a pyramid of stairs and it is nice to be back on the exercise wagon again. Servus Place is my home away from home.
