My friend Allison went with me. Yes, she is really that cute in real life and I dwarf her in every picture every taken, but I do love her! She is going to be my walking buddy around the hood. It's not really because she needs it, but because her Labrador does.
I improved my time! I don't know how I can go much faster without running. Maybe more conditioning will surprise me. I feel like I am nearly running now!
You know...eating less calories than you burn really works for losing weight. I've just never been able to do that before the band. Thank you Lap Band! I still need a name. Some peeps have named their bands and I feel like I need to join the "BANDwagon". Hardy har har.
Short post tonight since I had a long post this afternoon. Love to all! Thank you for all the positive feedback and support. If you are thinking negative things, thank you for not sharing! :)
Yay you! So...don't underestimate yourself...you MAY be running far before that 220 weight!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Jen! Start out with a Fartlek run, if you DO decide to incorporate some running :)
ReplyDeleteYeah so, that's pretty close to my time for 1.5 miles! Lol Time for me to crank the old treadmill up a few notches apparently! You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived close! I can't find anyone to walk or exercise with me. :(
ReplyDeleteMy band is named Marilyn ...
