my one year stuff

My one year date was April 30th. I go and see my doctor on the 8th. Hopefully he will be happy with my weight loss. I'm not always so happy with it.. but I refuse to let it get me down. I am feeling so much better then before.. and I really am very thankful. I posted some new pictures on my blog at this site. I found some pictures of me 3 weeks before surgery last year. I was at the park pushing my youngest son on the swing. I remember feeling so tired and worn out.. I couldn't do anything without great effort. I promised myself that day that I would go back to that park and swing on the swings WITH my kids. And I had forgotten about that promise until I saw these pictures. They where on a friends computer... So you better believe I went back and swung like a kid for a hour on those swings. What a wonderful time! My kids are saying things like... "Mommy, your finally getting to have fun with us!" and "Mommy, I'm so glad you can play with us now." Our family trampoline is wonderful.. who needs cardio when you have a trampoline! LOL Anyways.. just thought I would share. -Shakeira

Sounds like a fun exercise to me. I am glad that you are putting things into prospective. It is easy to start focusing on negative things (scale not going down) and not all the positive. My life has also truly been changed. Congrats on making it this far....
