Oh What A Beautiful Day-6 Month Anniversary
Well, 6 months ago today, my ride started. And what a ride it has become.
On October 12th, I weighed 263 pounds. Today, I am hanging at 186 (but, I'm losing again, slow, but losing again).
On October 12th, my feet/ankles/knees hurt SO bad that I hated walking. Today, I am pain free (ok, excpet for the pulled muscle on my hip due to Friday's dancing). I walk 2+ miles 4 - 5 days a week, bike ride, etc.
On October 12th, I was miserable during our visit at the Grand Canyon. Today, I just made reservations for whitewater rafting, horseback riding and hiking in West Virginia.
On October 12th I could not ride the rides at Bush Gardens. Today, I can ride the rides with my son without needing a shoe-horn to get in.
On October 12th, it was difficult to take a bath. The water barely covered me, it was hard to get in and out. Today, I LOVE taking a bath. I actually get covered by the bubbles.
On October 12th, I wanted to stay home, away from everyone. Today, I want to be out front. I don't want to be cooped up in the house.
On October 12th, I hated to clothes shop. Today, I enjoy clothes shopping (just not spending the money for clothes that I will wear for a few weeks). I love going to the store and finding things on the "regular" rack.
On October 12th, I could not cross my legs. Today, I do it all of the time.
On October 12th, I jiggled when I walked. Today, hubby says I sway when I walk (ut-oh).
So, looking back over the past 6 months, I've met people I would call "friend", I've gained confidence, had "WOW" moments that I thought would never come back and feel blessed by this surgery and my doctor.
