Vacation is almost over

I have truly enjoyed Christmas Vacation.  It was a challenge to be newly banded and have to go through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.  I am down a total of 33 pounds.  I am sure it would have been more if not for the holidays.  However, I am very proud of the restraint I have shown and my new found dedication to exercise.  I typically ride 10 miles a day on my exercise bike.  I look forward to adding weight training with our Bowflex and actually walking outside.  I signed up for the Shamrock Run in March.  It is a 5k and I will do the walking event.  This is something I would have NEVER done pre-surgery.  My first fill is schedule for January 17th, and I am looking forward to it.  I am so grateful for the support of my friends and family.  I am looking forward to 2014.
