Thankful Post!!

Sep 30, 2010

 I was just walking around work today, when it hit me..."This is so easy!!"
I remember a little over a year ago I had to struggle up out of my chair.  My knees would ache and my feet would literally scream and protest at having to bear nearly 300 lbs.  There was so much pain involved just going from my desk to the staff fridge to get a beverage that sometimes, I just wouldn't move.
Now I look for excuses to get out of my office and walk around.  And there is no pain involved!!

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO EXERCISE!!!!!!

I just had to shout that out!  I love going to the gym.  I love getting all sweaty and slowly reaping the benefits of a strong heartbeat, strong muscles and building bone density.
I am so thankful that I can plan a hiking trip this weekend and not be scared that I won't be able to keep up.  Heck, they're gonna have to keep up with me!!

I had to make a conscience effort to NOT go to the gym today.  I know I have a bunch of yard work that needs to be done and what a great way for us to spend some family time together this evening!  (and I'm still getting exercise while I'm doing it, lol)

Anyway, after the horrible experience I had on Monday...I just wanted to be grateful for all the positives that are coming my way after WLS.  

Every negative makes me even more grateful for the positive!!
