I run, I strength train, I practice yoga, I cycle, I eat clean and I enjoy wine time. I underwent brachioplasty (upper arm lift) and upper, outer thigh liposuction on 22/09/15. Lover of humor; the good, the bad and the dirty kind. Was able to finally get my weight under control and I'm half my size from my highest weight. In my 3rd year of maintenance. First Nation Canadian. My son is my heart. This is my life in selfies...
The post about the Globe and Mail, men lying across my legs and Clifton Hill
I am annoyed. I am featured in the Globe and Mail (and will be in the Life section of Friday's paper). I figured my blog would not get a shout out, but I am extremely annoyed that they did not mention Dr. Poon's clinic by name. I saw the edited version of the interview and requested that the clinic be named because it is covered by our universal health care system and is therefore free to attend. That could have helped many, many people. I just saw the article posted on Twitter and they did not make the changes I requested. Harrumph! You can read the article here.
I also lost 132 pounds from Williamsburg to maintenance and got my running mileage to 26k before breaking my ankle...but that's not as important as naming Dr. Poon's clinic!!!!!
I had my ankle popped at physio the other day. It was quite a production. First Graham tried to pop it while Matt held my legs down, then Matt tried to pop it while Graham held my legs down. Needless to say, it hurt like the devil. But I have better range of motion today. No pain, no gain.
I have been sleeping so badly for the past month or so. I don't mind waking up at 5am if I have something to do (ie: run). I am up well before dawn every single day and I have no where to go. This will come in handy in a couple more weeks when I'm running in the pre-dawn hours again. But right now, it is just cruel of Mother Nature to wake me:( I'm only averaging 4 -5 hours of sleep a night.
The above video shows hubby and I heading towards Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls. We also talk about how much money we're going to gamble at the Fallsview Casino later in the night. Hubby is humiliated.
We likely had our last BBQ of the season today. BBQ butterfly pork chops, mashed turnip and sauteed broccoli. Was super yummy.
Not feeling great about myself today. Feeling pretty flabby and soft. I suppose everyone feels like this once in a while. I know that the brain takes a while to catch up with the body in regards to weight loss, but I'm tired of having a sucky self esteem. It just shouldn't be this way. I thank everyone for all their compliments. You guys are awesome. It makes me sad that I can't believe them...
And although I feel yucky today, this may not be the case tomorrow. I could feel like hot shit then. I have a bi-polar brain! But at least I don't do crack...
Ugh! I got nothing else for you today. Not feeling stellar and my stomach is acting up because, wait for it, I had cheese for lunch. Will I never learn? Clearly not. I am a glutton for punishment.
