 Yeah Guys/Gur's,  right now i'm doing a roll calling looking for a good workout partner thats in the Baltimore City, Maryland area. You all know that life is a challenge being over weight and trying to find the time and manage your hours to eat right and exercise, specially dealing with gastic bypass surgery. Soooo, I come to you y'all today and i'm asking a special request. I'm looking for anyone in my city of Baltimore to come and workout with me during the morning at to locations. 1. Druid Park Lake 2. Montebello Lake. I love these area because it offers you scenery  and you can do a lot of lookie lou's while other people are working out ( hint hint). Yet, seriously, I'm looking for a good workout partner, it doesnt matter, man or female. I've been running around the track and now its time to step up my game and focus on dropping the pounds and size that i want to. So if your down with a nice morning workout, please let me know and please No Faker's......... I'm here for a mission that i like to complete and see it through.

Today, i wanted to explain how i love being the new me and a healthier new beginning. Right now i'm proud to say that i can run a 3 mile lap around  Lake Montebello ( baltimore maryland). This was a real challenge to me because i was always unable to run with out stopping because of my size and asthma. I'm having problems reading this because i'm at the doc's office now getting my blood work evaluated and measured. I know i haven't been the best at taking my medication and vitamins because its starting to get on my nerves with all the damn measuring and counting. yet, I'm doing what i have to do when it comes down to working out and picking what i want to eat and making sure that its a well balance meal and its in the guide lines of my surgery.
Last week, i've been working out really heavy because i'm trying to get below a certain size in my weight but yet, my body is at a stand still and its not moving at all. the only thing thats changing is my pant size and thats it. i so damn happy that i can get back into my old clothes and some new things that i've been burning my credit card at Macy's for. The day i tried on a part of 38" jeans i all most cried because I haven't seen a part of 38" jeans in a very long time. I know it isn't much but its something to me. LIfe as changed since i've had this surgery, I dont know if its in a good way or a bad way, because i'm trying to still figure out why i feel and long fat. I know i'm only thick and friends and family tell me all the time that i look good and i bet not lose anymore weight but yet i want to be able to fit into a nice part of jeans and go jogging with out catching my breath or having a mild asthma attack because i was to over weight.
People always thing loosing weight is easy because you have to stay focus but yet the person or people that saying or telling this information are you over weight and you lost it or are you big and your doing the damn thing and the weight is coming off of you. I can tell i'm just goin on and on because i lost focus on what i need to speak about.

 today i did a extra running on the treadmill and i was working my ass off. I showed the treadmill whos' the boss. my eating habits are starting to become veg but with a little fish or other type of seafood. I drink alot of tea's and juices and im trying to take in protein but the drinks isnt working anymore

 i love running and working and i feel upset when days' that i dont or miss working out

 ook right now i'm 20days out and i'm a littile upset that i can drop a little lower then what i want, my sister told me that its not going to happen over night but damn i'm so impatient. im running each and everyday and lifting weights and doing core workouts but again it isnt working......

 right now i've started lifting weights and had a wonderful workout. the pain wasnt their where my stitches where and i cant wait to workout again the very next day......

Today i worked out and it felt great, i ran on the treadmill while my mom was talking to be about her new life, she's moving out of Maryland, leaving me behind. While not really, but she's just moving to Delaware where its tax free and quiet living. I was happy to be able to jog without stopping and evening talking. Right now i'm down to 280 now, from 315. I haven't started a goal of what weight i like to be because i'm just happy to be working out and eating healthy.  If you are starting the surgery or just had it please make sure you get a laxative because trust me your going to need it, stole softeners really dont work because of the size of your stomach. So if you get the milk magn, that alone would work very well. I"m telling you cause their are days where i want to go to the bathroom and i really cant because its to hard to push out and i'm scared because if i push hard i dont want to tier or bleed from the racum.  I know this is a little nasty to talk about but someone have to tell you and explain some of the things that people need to know and understand. Thanx for reading guys..... If someone dont tell you I would.....

I just wanted to say how I'm so damn thankful to have this surgery done because it gave me a new look on life. Fighting depression and health issues really put myself and my family into a corner because i was spiraling out of control with my weight. It took me over a yr to think about having this Gastric Bypass procedure done because i was so scared of the outcome of dying on the operation table and just other serious things that could have happen..... Things that only the mind can wonder on and on. I was amazed to have a wonderful Doctor like Dr. Li at Sinai Hospital.... the staff was wonderful even the people that's behind the scene, such as the nurses and the LPNs that's also help in the recovery room. Right now I'm 21 days out and i can control myself... I know its wrong to go shopping but I cant help it, I'm now able to buy things in a store and shop like a average person. I have this weight not just off me but the weight of being depress and upset that I'm being looked at differently each and everyday. Its a little fucked up how American looks at over weight people and how we're treated because of our size and nature, but I'm here today to say, regardless how i am and how i was, I'm damn sure happy that I decided to change my life and have this surgery because now i can look back at the old fat me and look forward to the new skinny me cause i promise myself that I'll never become fat and depress again. Life is to damn short and sometimes you have to grab it by the ball and make it work for you. so if your reading this blog and your scared to have the procedure because of some of the risk or what family and friends are saying... I only have one thing to say, tell them to go straight to hell because its your life and they cant live it for you. People always have something to say about your life but still cant live their own life....
 Once again, I have to say thank you Dr.Li and the staff of Sinai Hospital...... I truly love you all because I'm doing things in a big way and I'm never going back.......... You all ROCK.......
