32 days left

So my little count down thing is showing me as having 32 days until surgery.  That means 17 days until I start my pre-op liquid diet.

During these next 32 days I am challenging myself to drop some weight.  I am challenging myself to get down to a weight of at LEAST 290.  I have bounced back up and down so much as of late, it is so frustrating, but i know I am doing it to myself.  I started going to a boot camp program at my gym on saturdays... I have gone to 2 classes thusfar and love them.  They are VERY physically demanding on me, and very difficult, but I know by the end of the class I will be a stronger person that has been able to work through this.  I weighed in at 309 at the gym, so my goal is to lose 19 pounds before the surgery.  I know that I can do this if i put my mind really to it... I am guessing that with pre-op diet i will be able to easily shed 8 pounds minimum, considering its 2 liquid meals a day, with only 1 regular healthy meal.  I need to get back into exercise mode, and know that I am doing it to myself finding reasons (some valid, but reasons none-the-less) to not be able to go during the week. 

So, I also found another 5K I am interested in.  The registration is already open, and I am waiting to get paid to be able to register.  So, as of right now, I am looking at doing two different 5K's, one in August (on august 11th) and one in November (november 3rd).  One is "Color Run" and the other is "color me rad".... same idea with them, fun and relaxed with no time constraints, but still a '5k' in that sense.  I have been taking it easy with c25k... repeating each week at least once so that I know I can do it...  I think its helping, but it does mean the program won't be 9 weeks for me, more like 18 weeks... plus with the surgery coming up in 4 1/2 weeks I will have to take a break from c25k for recovery, although i don't think I will need to start back all the way at week 1... (I am in week 4), I will try week 3 to see if I can do it sucessfully after surgery when cleared, hwoever if needed I can drop down to week 2

Alright, so I am going to wrap this up (not even sure if anyone read this, or if just for me, but either way still wrapping it up).  leave a comment if you want :)
