i know already that this is going to be a much more concrete list than my pre-op goals.

~DO NOT allow fear to hold me back!
~follow diet plan given to me.
~get family on healthy eating plan...it's not a diet, it IS a LIFESTYLE CHANGE!!
~walk as much as possible til healed.
~once healed, begin first day to 5k program.
~once completed, begin gateway to 8k.
~once completed, begin freeway to 10k.
~weight training at least twice a week....

in no particular order....

~stay on top of all appointments to the best of my ability so it really will be "about a two-month process" like the dr. said.
~start walking a MINIMUM of two days a week on the three mile track
~start up with the couch to 5k program...if knees will allow
~begin shopping healthier for the family so it's not such a shock to everyone's system once i'm post-op and able to eat food again.
~get josh on here so he knows why...

I suppose blogging would be the next logical step now that i've joined TT. i'll be getting as much knowledge in as i can beforehand, and trying to prepare myself as much as possible for life post-op, but there are bound to be bumpy times coming my way...i mean, such is life. my emotions are already running the gamut, i can't even begin to really imagine what it is going to be like once i am on the other side heading toward my goals.

speaking of goals...i should prolly set some....
