Allie & The Game of Catch Up

Wow...I haven't posted in a while.  I got overwhelmed with school and work, and lots of other things.  I made straight A's last semester, so I guess that 3 month sense of drowning paid off. 

I have lost about 10 pounds since I last posted, which I know isn't a lot, but hey, it's still 10 pounds off.

The sausage toe is all healed up, I've been jogging a couple times, but still haven't gotten into the swing of things.  TH and I joined the YMCA in January, but then he got sick, I got sick, then I got sick again.  I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.  I stay light headed, and it's hard for me to keep food down.  Certain days I can eat a cow and be fine, but others, I take a bite at lunch and I feel sick all day long.  I have a sneaky feeling that my band is too tight. 

TH and I are still together :) I'm happy, head over heels, and wish I had more time in the day to see him.  Our 6 month anniversary was last week, and of course, WV had a snow storm, which put a damper on plans.  We ended up going to see Movie 43 (don't waste your time, lol, it was awful), had a quick dinner out, and then made a b-line straight to my place before the roads got too bad.  He gave me a key to his apartment.  :) Big step, I know.  But (excuse me for being cheesy), with that key, I melted into one big Allie puddle on the floor of TGIFridays.  My New Year's Resolution was to be more organized, but I'm thinking I should add a late amendment to it.  I need to learn to express my emotions better.  I'm so reserved when it comes to showing someone how I feel about them, and I know he has a hard time reading me sometimes.  So, since I'm doing well with my organization, I'll start on that.  :)

Allie & The Obligatory "Get To Know Me" First Post...

Hey there, I'm Allie, a former over weight couch potato.  On July 2, 2008 I had the lab band procedure to assist in my weight loss journey, and oh, what a journey it has been!  I began at 254 lbs, and as of August 8, 2012 have lost approximately 100 lbs.  February 2012 I had my tummy tuck, and breast reduction.  While I still have more to lose, I am pleased to say that I am finally comfortable in my body, thanks to my amazing doctors, the constant love and support from my family, and my willpower to be healthy.  I downloaded the Run5K app on my iPhone, and every M/W/F I take an hour to myself (well, not just to myself…my bff TV, her hubby JV, and my boyfriend TH are with me, but I’m alone with my thoughts…that counts right?) in the evenings, put those headphones on, and jog until the robotic voice tells me to stop.  I never, in my entire life, thought I would fall in love with jogging (and to all you doubters, I'm living proof), but I have! I miss it on the days that I'm not doing it, and I pray for time to go by faster on the days I do go out to the track.
