I Know This New Beginning Started With My Surgery

Today was a good day. I'm a year post op. My a baker by trade. I've been at my job as a baker for 3 years. I come from a long line of bakers in my family ( though I didn't find this out until after I got the job). After surgery, I quickly worked my way into management and today I was offered my own bakery in the company!!! I'll be moving to the new bakery just after Easter. I truly believe my surgery gave me a new lease on life and a strange and wonderful feeling of confidence. I can't wait!!!! ; )

May I ask how you got your tracker on your signature? I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

To add a tracker to your signature. Click on my tracker, configure your tracker. Copy your URL code and then go to your profile page on VST.com. Click on edit your profile in upper right hand column and on right side of page, click on signature. Then scroll down and click on edit bax. Add any info you would like other people to see and paste your tracker right there. Then click the save at bottom of box. ;)

Congrats Fern!!!!!!

Haha! A lot of people say this, but I just really come prepared with options for Snacks and lunches. Pair this with long distance running and a little more carbs here and there aren't too bad for me. Besides, hauling heavy dough around every day is a work out in itself!!!

Thank you all for the lovely comments! I knew you guys would understand that new found feeling of self worth : )
