OLD LADY BOOBS AND THE COLOR RUN

Hola, how are things going?

I recently had my 6 month checkup and an appointment with a plastic surgeon. I was so excited about breast reconstruction until my BMI became an issue. It floored me.  I only have one shot at reconstruction and he will not even consider it until I lose 20 pounds. I weigh 186.  DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO LOSE 20 LBS for A POST MENOPAUSAL WOMAN?

I cried. Then I cried some  more and then I got busy.



Doing the color run was a good start, right?  It was way difficult to run the entire time due to the large crowds, but it felt great to do another run with my girls.  I can pretty much jog 2.25 miles and then I fad to black... Close, but no cigar. 

I've started back to walking during my lunch, and my doctor gave me the go ahead with weights.  Weights... I've never done weights.  You know, 20 pounds feels REAL HARD, but at least it's 20 and not 100 lbs.  I despise how my prosthesis gives me OLD LADY BOOBS...  Of course, I'm going to be 51 so yea, I guess I should have old lady boobs.  I suppose having teenage boobs should give me the incentive I need to lose, right?  We shall see.

Blogging my food helped me in the past, I hope it helps again.

Stay tuned folks... I' gots me some weight to lose!

Hope all is well.

Best,
Paula

  2. In my mind, the best way to lose weight healthily is fitness. Together with healthy foods it will keep you in good shape and mood. In order to provide enough nutrition and be able to train more effectively I take NavySeal Formula by Military Grade. This is a dietary supplement, initially developed for soldiers. This product is amazing! Herbal compounds make it safe to take, while unique formula provides perfect strength and endurance. This supplement is good for everyone, who wants to keep fit.
