19.0 !!!!
My proof! Yes, it is true. 19.0!!! Look at the distance on the graph below. It reads 31.8 miles. But, the part that has me thrilled is the speed. If you look at the speed it says 19.0/31.3. The 19.0 is my average speed and the 31.3 is my fastest speed. 19.0!!!! Yes, I average 19.0 mph over a distance of 31.8 miles. That *IS* my all time fastest average.
It was a great, no, fantastic ride! We were on a club ride and I can never even come close to keeping up with the fast group. But I did on this night :) I think this weight loss is paying off in the cycling department, not to mention all the other health benefits I have had from having WLS.
YEAH LOSER JEN!!!
Yet another benefit of WLS is all the wonderful people I have met. Here is my friend and one of those wonderful people, Jen. Jen had her surgery on Tuesday, June 15th. Her surgeon, Dr. Svendson, is the Dr. in the picture with her. Jen is doing great and has come through this surgery amazingly well. I am proud of you Jen!
50.5 - OH MY!!!!
On the WLS surgery front things are going great. I seem to have slowed a bit on the weight loss, but I'm okay with that. I think my body and my pocket book need a chance to catch up. A new clothing size every two weeks is expensive!!! I have lost a total of 50.5 lbs since surgery on June 30, 2006. That averages out to1.07 lbs lost a day or 7.5 lbs lost a week. Those numbers are amazing to me!
In a few weeks I will be taking my 2 month pictures. I am anxious to see if I will be able to see a difference in the before and after pictures.
Hugs to all!
Linda
