NSV shout outs

[CrazyJaney 775]

Every little victory is awesome but I really, honestly, (swear to God HONESTLY) get sick of the shock and awe. Just be happy for me, say I look nice and MOVE ON! It's more about how I feel than how I look (most days anyway). On a side note.... NSV of the day: wearing a pair of trouser pants to work that I knew were lose but having to use some stockingnet (I work in medical field - this is the sleeve that goes under a cast) to rig up a belt because my pants were literally falling down. About to say goodbye to size 16 I hope!

Christmas shopping in Buckle last night. The sales girl wanted to help me. She asked if I needed a M or a S top! I almost died!! And both sizes fit!

I just realized my feet and knees haven't hurt at the end of the day since I got out of the hospital, and the edema I was getting in my legs is almost gone - I only notice a bit at the end of the day, and that seems normal.

Oh, and in 3 weeks, I've lost an inch and a half off of my NECK. How crazy is that?

The ablility to really feel the hugs from my family. I mean, I can wrap my arms around them. The ability to go from the basement to the second floor without falling out. The ability to bend without pain and to get off the floor without any assistance. I get up at 430 am now to work out and stay up until 9 pm. I have so much energy now, it's amazing. I went grocery shopping the other morning around 8. I was in there for like 2 hours and then came home to put the food away. I was on my feet until 12 and I was not in pain. I was still runnng around the house doing stuff. Before surgery I could not stand longer than 30 minutes without being in pain. If the scale does not move, I will not fret. These non scale victories are awesome and I am able to enjoy my life.

I can also fit some XL shirts now, YES!

Went and got my nails done over lunch and had no place to put my new purse. I was able to sit in the chair with it next to me!

I just bought a pair of size 27 Miss Me jeans! For those of you who were like me & didn't know about Miss Me jeans, that is nowhere near the same as my old size 22 Lane Bryant jeans!

I have always worn a sweater or jacket to hide my body(even in the summer) I now no longer need to hide.
