ahhh. 2 miles, that was more fun than I thought it would be....

So yesterday I had a totally lazy day. I watched TV, played on my laptop, and pretty much did a whole lot of nothing. So I decided it was time to run again. I've been doing lots of physical labor around our place (summer is project time for me) and bike rides too. My hubby and I have been walking. The weather was dismal. It started out with a drizzle in the morning, rained a bit, then just stayed gray most of the day with a drizzle here and there. I was thinking I would have to go to the Y and hit the treadmill, but luckily I sat around long enough to get a break in the weather. I went for 2 miles. The first half mile I felt really great, fast pace too. The second part of my first mile was tough and I gave my self permission to run 1 mile and walk 1 mile back home. However, by the time I made it to my 1 mile turn around I was actually feeling really good and so I ran the entire mile back as well. I felt great when I got back. Yesterday was also my return to support group after my surgery (my surgery was on the same day as support group last month). I was nervous and the group wanted to hear all of the details... I was able to share with only a few tears. 
Today I am going to get some things for my triathlon- most importantly a pair of tri shorts. I haven't been swimming yet, and I really need to get going on that part of my training. I plan on going to the pool two times a week from here on out (or a lake near my house if the weather warms up again). I'm also going to take my bike in for a tune up and get a lesson on fixing a flat. I've been reading up- Triathlon 101 and Slow Fat Triathlete- both great resources for the first timer. I would love to hear any tips from any of you who have done a triathlon (I'm doing a sprint distance). 
I've been doing my appetite suppressant since Saturday- it is really helping. I think the appetite suppressant has also helped improve my mood- I was obsessing about food again and it was so depressing to me (the suppressant really helps me NOT think about food 24/7). I am really not that worried about gaining the weight back as much as I am worried about not losing anymore weight- never getting out of the 190's.  I am starting to have more confidence that I will continue to lose- slowly, but it is going to happen! right? Anywhoo, it is time for me to schedule my follow up appointment with my surgeon- it has been a month since my surgery and tomorrow would be my 2 year band anniversary. I feel okay though, I am finally coming to terms with it all. I am a bit anxious about meeting with Dr. B. I am a little worried he will tell me that my stomach is too messed up for a sleeve if I need it later- ugh. Think positive right? Of course I will keep you all posted :)
