My first post in Blog Land. Thank you Lap Band Gal for inspiring me to blog! A bit about me and my Journey so far:
I am an obsessive mountain biker who just took up running. I am vegan - who knew it was possible to be vegan and fat! I had Lap Band surgery 12 weeks ago April 6, 2011. My highest weight was 241 and I am now 192.2. I'm pretty stoked!
I have always loved being active - although it was pretty hard to ride my bike at my highest weight. My surgery went well and recovery has been easy. I think that's because I was already active and had no co-morbidity symptoms.
My journey has little to do with what size jeans I'm wearing (although its fun to shop for smaller ones) but instead it is about becoming an athlete. I am proud of being active and getting in my daily exercise but now I want more! Now I want to win. This blog, I hope, will help to keep me accountable and track my goals over the next year. First goal - July 3rd 8K race.
You're AMAZING with your level of activity! :) I can't wait to read more about your journey, keep us updated.
