It has been ages since I posted and all I can say to my many readers is I apologize!! I will attempt to do better!
Since August (Really August?) things have been pretty steady! The biggest hurdle I've had to overcome weight wise is that I had surgery on my foot and I have not gotten back to my running schedule! Surgery was a lot rougher than I imagined, and recovery time was twice as long as originally anticipated. I guess I have bones of steel (per the doctor) and the pins they needed to insert did not want to go into the bone. The process, which should have taken about 15 minutes, took over an hour and increased the pain and swelling. But, me and the toes are back up and running, literally!
Well...we were until I had to have semi-emergency surgery to removed an 11 cm (think newborn size head) cyst from my left ovary. Luckily, the pain has been manageable and I have not lost a lot of training time for the half marathon relay in January. I think I will still be able to run the 6.1 miles necessary not to let my partner down!
I don't have all the measurements, but I am down to an even 200 pounds as of yesterday! I never thought I would ever get to this weight. I believe this brings the total weight loss total to around 160 pounds since my heaviest weight 18 months ago. I had pretty much leveled out until this latest loss, but an 11cm cyst weighs a lot!!
