6 month check up went well

It been a while. I had my 6 month check up today. It went well. I am 86 lbs down from my highest weight and 79 lbs down from my pre-surgery weight. Dr. Smith was very pleased. This month has been very stressful from a work perspective, and I've found myself wanting to snack. Luckily I can't eat that much but it definitely re-enforce the importance of dealing with why I eat. I'm still sorting through this, but from what I hear, its a continual process.

People are starting to say that they don't recognize me. I'm not use to the attention I get at church now. Since, I work from home, most of my co-workers have not seen me and I'm afraid to see them, one of my friends and I are going to lunch next week, and I'll have to see how that goes.

I love reading everyone blog and I will try to do a better job of blogging myself. I'm still working through the hair loss. I'm hoping that it will stop now that I'm six month out; and I think I do a better job of getting my daily protein allowance.

Last night my church had movies under the stars and I wore a tank top. Who would have thought this day would ever come. The "wow" is this; I wanted to layer two tank tops but I didn't have the color I needed so I called my sister. My sister is the largest she's ever been in her life and that's a size 10-12. She offered me one and I said, well do you think I can wear it....and she was "well yeah". Imagine that.

Approximately 2.5 years ago, before my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was training for a marathon. I can't wait to do that again. I plan to start training in the fall for a 1/2 marathon. There's no doubt that I can do it, because I was up to 11-15 miles a week and I weighed about 60 lbs more than I do now. The only thing is instead of walking most of it, now, I will probably be able to run most of it. We'll see how that goes.

This has been therapeutic blogging today. I will try to do it more often
