Called me a success today!!

I'm not at my goal but I guess I made some kind of goal for him because he said I'm good, that I look great to him!

my blood work is awesome (Well except that damn iron) I'm a success in his eyes

I know it's kindly corny, but it felt good.

I wanted a certain number going in there today and I didn't hit it and I have been down a bit about it..

It's a stupid number as was pointed out to me (thanks m2g) this morning and I'm going to take the victory lap for now and just keep trying to Work on myself.

Shameless selfie

Can you believe that was LAST YEAR? Wow. It's sobering, and inspiring all at once. I wonder how I will feel (and what I will find, photo wise) late next year...

That was a painful day.. Emotionally and physically. I'm so glad I chose to do something about it instead of settling for that misery...

But I tell you fluff, looking at that photo made me down right giddy today! I was snickering like a school girl

I wanna go back and kick that kayaks azz next time!

It's a good day at vertical sleeve land

Ok I didn't want to start a new thread but my husband found this picture today..

This was me in July of 2012 a couple of months before surgery..

All the way to the kayak place I worried that I wouldn't even fit into a kayak anymore

I fit (barely) but after a couple of hours of kayaking when I pulled up to the dock I couldn't physically get myself out! I had to rest for awhile then when I finally was able to hoist myself out and roll onto the dock I had to sit there for about five minutes because I could not stand up on my own...

Wow, Laura! What a difference a year makes.

How fantastic, Laura! I'm so glad you worked your tail off - literally ;-P

Transformation can be a beautiful thing!
