I went for a run last night (!!!). It was dark by the time I set out, which was not my intention, but it was a gorgeous night and I really enjoyed the cool air and full moon. Back up for a moment though...I just just say I went for a RUN. I haven't run in 2 years. I couldn't have even considered it 70 pounds ago (hit 70 pounds today!). But I went for it and it felt surprisingly awesome. I'm starting pretty simply with a couch-to-5k program, so in reality I walked for most of it, but ran for 6 short 1-minute intervals. I'm really looking forward to my next run tomorrow.
Things have continued to go well overall. I still feel very full after eating 3 ounces of meat. I've been trying to get a tiny bit of vegetables in as well. The fiber really helps with this high-protein diet. ;-) My clothes are getting baggier and baggier, and I'm having to retire some of my capris that were actually too small for me last summer. People are noticing that I've lost weight (people who don't know I had surgery), which is both awesome but also makes me self-conscious. And as of this past weekend, I can now lift weights again! I'm looking into a few gyms that I hope to start in the fall. But most importantly, I can lift Emmett again. Poor kid did pretty well without me lifting him for so long.
Oh, and I realized today that the last time I was in the 230s was very shortly after Alder was born...6 years ago. Wahoo!
