I have a regular checking-in appointment tomorrow with my surgeon. The three pounds I gained over Thanksgiving are gone (and thanks for your comforting words during my freak-out).
But I'm at the same weight I was at the last appointment. Ugh, what was I thinking, making a weigh-in appointment less than a week after Thanksgiving? What was I thinking???
I won't be asking for a fill or an unfill at this appointment. I think I'm at a good place with restriction, and my food intake isn't bad if we're not talking about the day before, day of and day after Thanksgiving. So I'm going to stay the course.
I also think I probably won't be running the NYC Half marathon. The Team in Training director told me the event is oversold and there's a strict three-hour time limit on the course, which means once they hit three hours everyone has to get off the course (quit) no matter how close to the finish line you are. That's a 13-14 minute mile, which is incredibly slow but I'm pretty sure I'm not even that fast. So I'm looking at the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll in June, but only doing the half. I don't have a full marathon in me right now.
I'm going to try for the pf chang's half marathon here in phoenix in 2012. We can do it! As for your doc appointment, try not to sweat it. It's not like it's the first time your surgeon has seen someone not lose weight in a particular month.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't stress about it, just look at the big picture and all is well. You don't have a full marathon in you? I don't even have it in me to drive that distance...I need some motivation.
ReplyDeleteSo much anxiety and pressure! I agree with Tessierose- look at the big picture, and don't beat yourself up about anything. I am sure the place will be packed with people who either stayed the same or gained.
ReplyDeleteRE: running- do it at your pace- the Rock and Roll sounds like fun. Try to enjoy the successes you have achieved so far, and remember we're here for YOU!!!
Oh you poor girl you sound half out of it. Regardless of what you think, you ARE doing great and if you dont do the marathon this year - theres always next xx
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything to say except I love your blog!
ReplyDelete:-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteNo worries for your Dr visit..I want to run a half in San Diego! Hey I am walk/running one in NH in Feb..wanna join me?
ReplyDeleteTotally great idea to train for a half marathon - just pick one, any one.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the weight stall, of course. Sucks.
