Well I am officially down 50 pounds this week. I can hardly believe it. I never in my wildest dreams expected the weight to come off this fast. I guess there is always that fear in the back of my mind that "it won't work that way for me".

I had my scope yesterday and Dr. Nohr said that everything looked "very good". I was pleased. The nurse asked me why I was in for a scope and I told her that I had had gastric bypass surgery 2 months ago. She couldn't believe it she said that I looked too tiny to have needed gastric bypass surgery. I told her that it was losing that 50 pounds so far that has made a difference. Very nice lady. I enjoyed visiting with her.

I have decided that I am going to run a 5 km race in my hometown the first of July. I figure I could be ready for 5 k by then and then make a goal to do the 10 K for next year. I had forgotten how addicting this exercise thing can be when I'm not carrying 50 extra pounds.
