so today, after i got home from work, i did my step aerobics DVD....and it felt good......and then i went outside and chatted on the phone with amanda and hub came out to cut grass.....i hung up the phone and told hub i wanted to cut grass...so he gave me the lawn mower and up and down and up and down

i went........so yeah i was wearing blue flip flops but i spent 20 min cutting the side of our house.....while hub sat in the chair and watched

who would have thunk that a year post op that my 336 pound body would do a step aerobic class AND cut grass with lawn mower on the same day within an hour of each other..

this post is to say, the band WORKS

i am proof

I bet you feel great !!!

Good for you girl!

Big thumbs up! And I'll bet Hubs loved it too!

Great NSV but next time wear proper footwear, please. The risk to your feet when mowing is really large and getting hurt would slow your brilliant progress right down. (Sorry, I work in OHS, couldn't help myself.)

LOVE it!!

Mine needs mowing

Mine needs mowing

That's great, I hope to follow in your foot steps.

UPDATE:

well, let me say that me moving and pulling and using my upper arms to move that little red lawn mower has made my arms (sore) and that is a good thing..sorry i posted another silly success (i mean who cant mow their lawn) but that would be ME who couldnt...so yeah, i wanted to share.

thanks for the great responses.

i think all yall are terrific.

having support is critical..

I like ALL of the "silly successes". These are things most of us totally get, and it's good to take notice of the little things......that aren't really "little".

This is silly, but I'm sure many can relate.... At my client's office, I sit in a Herman Miller chair. The arms move in and out, and as soon as I sit down, I've always had to push the arms outward......to accommodate my wideness. Yesterday when I was there, I noticed as I was leaving, that I hadn't moved the arms out. I looked back at the chair & thought...WOW. I would always move the arms back into their normal position, because I was humiliated that I couldn't fit comfortably with the arms going straight forward. A small thing, but certainly a victory

CG - keep'em coming! I love these things
