Recommended Posts

As I sit here think about what I am looking forward to. The list is long but just to mention a few.

1. Wipe myself with out pain

2. Tie my shoes

3. To have my fairy tale wedding (I had City Hall Marriage) :confused5:

4. To keep up with my teenage age son and my grandkids.

for now short goals are important and I wish everyone gets there

Wow...so many things -

  • Putting on socks and shoes (and tie the shoes) with out feeling I've just had a major battle
  • Crossing my legs
  • Gardening and being able to get up and down/bend over
  • Not looking at stairs and worrying about having to stop 1/2 way up to let the burning in my legs fade
  • Not being so out of breath all the time
  • Sitting in a chair at 90 degrees without falling backwards because my stomach is in the way
  • Sitting in a movie or on an airplane and not having the side arms of the chair dig in
  • No seat belt extender on airplanes
  • Shaving my legs with ease
  • Giving myself a pedicure

Those are just a few off the top of my head

So many things that I want to do again....

I want to go horseriding with my daughter

I want to hop on the back of my sons motorbike and let him take me for a ride

I want to be able to go out on the Seadoo and watch my kids ski, rather than sit on the waters edge taking photos from afar

I want to take my kids to a theme park and enjoy the rides with them

I want to go on a holiday...anywhere

I want to wear sexy lingerie for my OH who has loved me unconditionally for 20yrs no matter how I look and feel

Most of all I want to be able to walk into my closet and have 'something' to wear, knowing I will look great

I want to be able to stop running and hiding when someone whips out a camera at an event. I have let so many uncaptured moments go by with my husband over the years because I hated the way I looked in photos. I used to love to take photos when I was younger. I want to feel that way again.

-Knowing that almost everything in the store will complement my figure

-Feeling totally healthy

-Taking pictures from all angles and poses, not just the ones I look slimmer in (Hand on the hip, u know what I’m talking about lol)

-Fitting into my old jeans

-Superficial: Finding a rich man :tongue2:

sounds silly... but being able to shift myself around in the bed comfortable, now it seems like I wake everyone just trying to turn around... I am also looking forward to being able to lift myself up from the Water rafts at Aquatic this summer with ease instead of struggling and thinking how I am going to get off the ground without embarrassing myself.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
