I have mentioned before that since being banded I still allow my 1 single normal sized candy bar a day so I don't feel deprived, right? Tonight I decided to make myself work for it. I jogged all the way to the market (a few blocks) to get it tonight. Considering I haven't done more than 10 continous jogging strides in decades I was quite impressed with myself. I'm sure they felt the earth tremors in China but oh-well. Another thing I caught myself doing recently that would not have been attempted for the past several years is climbing up onto things. When I was painting our spare bedroom a few weeks ago I actually climbed up on top of this swinging bench I have so I could wash the top of the window frame. HELLO! SWINGING OBJECT and I was STANDING on it! Did I mention I have terrible balance and fell and broke my ankle 5 years ago? Later that day I climbed and stood on top of the bed to hang a picture. For years I have been worried I would break whatever I put my full weight on but that didn't even cross my mind when I started up this time. I had to curtail water aerobics since December because of schedule conflicts but I am happily heading back to the pool starting next week. I CAN'T WAIT! I have actually really missed that activity.

Those are wonderful NSVs! And great weight loss too! 87 pounds! Keep up the great job.

Teresa that is wonderful! :banana You have done an awsome job! You should be very proud of yourself!

yeaaahhh Theresa! You are right, that is truly a wonderful NSV.

Way to go Theresa. The candy Bar was well deserved.

Thanks everybody. I forgot to mention I can now climb very long flights of stairs without pulling myself up the railing and without being winded at the top.

Darcey I go to the pool out on Mohawk in Springfield. I used to go to the Tue/ Thurs class from 6-6:50 (If I recall correctly- I'll have to double check) It really is a lot of fun and I feel like I get a good work out. Would love to see you there sometime. Teresa

Teresa, Your so dang cute!

I need to update my pic. LOL... Thanks though Vera...
