The Beginning

Yes, I had weight loss surgery.  No, I did not take the easy way out.  You may have a different opinion (and you are entitled to your own) but WLS is not easy.  Yes, I have lost almost 95 lbs in 7 months.  The weight has come off faster than I ever imagined, but it has not been easy.

Now onto bigger and better things!  In December, 6 months after having RNY Gastric bypass I signed up for my first Half Ironman.  Augusta 70.3 here I come.  As of today I have 223 days and I am in no way ready.  I have a lot of endurance to gain.  I also have to figure out how to fuel over a 7 hour race given my current nutritional needs.  It seems daunting but I decided to keep a record of it here in order to hold myself accountable and hopeful survive this endeavor. 

As I figure this blog thing out I will add pictures!
