2) Take my multi-vitamin daily and follow-up on my doc's suggestions.
3) Longer term goals:
Get on a regular exercise schedule of at least 30 mins, 4x a week.
Do another 5K and beat the pants off my time on 12/18/11 of 49:33 (walking 2 weeks after surgery)
Signed up for Last Run again in 2012.
Longest term goal: Get back into a size 10 and be happy with me!
My inspirations:
1) Have my original engagement and wedding bands fit easily again.
2) Be able to shop in the "misses" side of the store again.
3) Wear my "skinny" clothes still in my closet.
4) To feel comfortable having my picture taken again.
I am a 47year-old mom of a five-year-old, strong-willed dynamo. I work full time, my husband works an odd schedule and I must DEFINE MYSELF AS A PRIORITY.
I was slender as a child until about 13 and then started treating my emotions and fears by eating food. I come from a critical household where I was then constantly told I was "getting fat" at 130 lbs. (at about 5'7").
In my 20's I had it under control - was a gym rat whose biceps were the envy of the guys . Got married at 34, had a child, and here I am years later, trying to get back to a self I recognize on the outside!
I continue to struggle with eating to satisfy my emotions. It's a vicious circle where I eat because I feel bad about myself and I feel bad about myself because I emotionally eat and have gained weight.
But I know no one can do this for me.
I am on a journey to rediscover myself, to help me redefine who I want to be.
I CAN DO THIS!!!!!
