Long time coming

-
I have been putting off a new blog entry for a while. I keep saying to myself "Tomorrow I will have time to sit down and have it sound nice". Well tomorrow keeps becoming the day before yesterday. So I guess I just need to put my excuses behind me and write something that maybe isn't as perfect as I would like.

I have been stuck, and it sucks. I am not sure why. I still want to lose the weight. But the day to day motivation is so totally not there. When I signed up for the boot-camp class I thought it would maybe be a good kick-start. But I gotta tell you, the scale hasn't really budged in the last 4.5 weeks. I am hoping it is from the "muscle weighs more than fat" concept, but I am so not sure. And now my wrist is acting up so I am not sure how tomorrow's class is gonna go, though I am gonna go prepared to workout as hard as it will let me.

I just need to figure out whatever the roadblock has been this whole year really. I am sticking with weight watchers, but I am also looking at something like Medifast for a month to drop kick my weight. Anyone had any experience with Medifast?

    Eric and Artonya have been doing medifast, (I think) they seemed to like it, but I'd ask her more about it. Good luck!

    I lost 45 pounds on Medi-Fast in about 4 months. Now I use some of the meals every day in addition to regular food to maintain my weight. I love the ease/simplicity of the program. IT WORKS! Now Curtis has been on it and has lost 50 lbs in about 4 months. He is now a Medi-Fast coach. He loves the program so much and has done so well with it that he wants to help others lose weight, too. Why don't you ask him how it works? You can FB him or Sabrina. Good luck!

Welcome Back and Hip Surgery updates.

It's been a "little" while. As in a long while. And while so much happened in nearly 4 years since my last post, I will save all that catching up for another day. One of the biggest things though is that I had hip surgery earlier this year. I've gone through a lot and I have learned a lot too. In the coming weeks I will be sharing more details about the diagnosis and surgery itself, as well as some tips and tricks I learned surviving the time at home while living alone. For now, however, I just wanted to say "Hi, I'm Back, I've missed this",  and share my week-by-week updates from weeks 1 through 10.  January 20 :  I am HOME! It was a super early morning full of anxiety and nerves. Things rolled super smoothly once there. Pre-Op nurse got the IV started. Surgeon in and reviewed the planned surgery and left his initials on my hip. Anesthesia came in and cleared my airway and went over her part. OR Nurse walked me back to the OR, got me all settled on

Well, it's official. I am registered for my next half-marathon. I am once again doing the Holiday Half in December. It's been on the calendar for months, but I hadn't actually committed. I was kinda stuck. I was super nervous to register because I felt like my training wasn't going anywhere, I wasn't being consistent with it, my long walks weren't happening, the shin pain was back and all that kept me from registering. Yet, I also knew that by not registering I wasn't putting enough pressure on myself to be consistent with the training, because it wasn't official there was still a chance I wasn't gonna committ, so why put myself through it. But it is official now. I have registered, I customized my race bib, I selected my shirt size, I paid extra for the shuttle. I saved the confirmation email in the special folder labeled "race info". Now all that's left to do is pick the perfect race outfit. Oh, and train, I should probably kick the

Well, here I sit, with one of my favorite work perks. GameReady, I am mid 20 minute ice and compression session on my knee. Why on my knee you ask, well, let me tell you. Remember back in in january I told you about how I did a half marathon and made my knee mad and then I fell on the ice and made my knee madder and how I was taking Januray off from most workouts and was back in PT working on making my knee happy? Well we got it mostly happy again, and I started doing my walks again and it was beautiful. My pace was so much better than it was all of last year, and the knee felt better while working out, and the shin splints seemed to be gone. And then, one fateful st patrick’s day, I was doing the laundry, and I twisted, and there was a loud pop, and all the pain and then some came back. So back to PT I went. And my PT said the words I was expecting him to say back in december that he hadn’t “Maybe it is time to think about seeing ortho and getting an MRI”. So I did, well I saw the
