I had my lapband placed by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico on December 18, 2008. Please kick back and relax as you share with me tales of my journey with my new foreign friend, Senorita Bandita!

Self Punishment Perhaps?
Yesterday after the race (and the requisite post-race nap--and an eye doctor appointment, unrelated, of course), I did a walk/jog of 7+ miles. I said I wasn't going to play catch-up when I missed my daily exercise. I still plan to keep that promise to myself, but I was upset at not being able to jog the whole stretch at the 5K. Am I punishing myself, I wonder? On a mental and emotional level, I don't want to think I have to do everything perfect. Brooke was writing about that subject on her blog. I can totally relate. Either way, I wound up doing a little over 10 miles of jogging and walking for the day. My legs are killing me now. I guess it wasn't a totally bad thing since walking/jogging is healthy. But I want this lifestyle change to be good for me physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc. I don't want to feel like I'm 'bad' or believe that I need to be punished when I attempt something and don't succeed to the point I think I should. I'm doomed for failure otherwise because I know I'm no Olympian or anything--and my goals will probably just increase if I keep up with the jogging.
