WLS Update

I am now almost 15 weeks out of my surgery and am down about 55 pounds! :) I am SO excited. I am working through the body image issues that accompany this (blech) but I feel SO great. My bloodwork is great, my diabetes and cholesterol issues GONE! :) I am excited. I've been doing couch to 5K and while I can't run 3 miles yet I've run 2 miles the last two times I've worked out including today!!! :) The good thing is this gives me time to run at least two miles and get up to three. I'll try to find a 5K in June. I am SO proud of myself. The endurance is amazing. Just last week and earlier this week I was barely running a mile or mile and a half. So I thought I'd post where my work outs started 9 weeks ago!!! I'll post about the girls tomorrow.
