6 WEEKS IN

OK so it's been 6 weeks since my surgery and I know you are dying to know how I am doing. well I am not gonna tell you. If you really cared you would have asked me yourself instead of waiting for me to post an update. Just kidding actually many of you have asked me. I now realize that this blog is not only for you all to keep up on how I am doing and to hopefully inspire others but it is also for me to keep a record of my progress and my journey. So I can look back and inspire myself when the hard season hits.

So you wanna know how I am doing? Well up until my 5 week check up I only threw up once. That was on the 11th, since that time i have thrown up 3 more times. I am sure it was because of my pride. Why? Because for those of you who know me even a little know I like to boast a little. No really I know that may be a shock to some of you out there. - Chalena stop laughing at me! Anyway lets go to the video tape. I always wanted to be a sportscaster. Not really but it sounded good.
So here are the stats as of now:

Total weight loss since surgery 6 weeks ago= 42 pounds
Total weight loss since Sept 2009= 80 pounds

I am doing great physically. I am starting to do a little exercising. Not as much as I need to do, but my doctor says that ok as long as I get in to it by May. I got my bike fixed and started last weekend to hit the road. I am wanting to start some swimming but it's been hard making the time. What I really want to do is start riding the bike, do some swimming and also start jogging all in hopes of in 2011 entering a mini triathlon with my kids.You know something like a 5 K run, 15 mile bike and 1/2 mile swim. I want to have one of them train with me for each separate leg of the race- Eddie for the run, Cooper for the swim & Faith for the bike. I think that would be cool!

Thanks for all your encouragement and prayers. Heres to getting off my butt and on my bike, or in the water or running down the street or anything JUST DO SOME EXERCISE!
