Wow Moments anyone????

I don't read about them as often as I remember....but then again I'm not on the boards as often either.

Have you had any wow moments lately? Big or small??  Post em!!!   As a pre-op I lived to read about other people's wow moments, it made the wait for surgery worthwhile.

Today I had two.

This morning I stopped in the cafe to buy some milk and the cashier told me "you look beautiful! I mean, you always looked nice....but NOW even more!"

On the way back from lunch I dropped off my car with the car wash service in our building and the guy exclaimed "What happened to you?!" then he made the hourglass shape with his hands....I hope I get free tire dressing or something.

You're losing so fast!!!! Can you save some 16s & 18s for me????

Okay I'll join in.  Even though I have lost almost 30 of the 43lbs I gained with the pregnancy I can't see it.  So the other day I took a chance to try on some jeans size 28 I figured those would probably fit ( i was a 20-22).  Not only did they fit but I had to pull them up all day and realized that i didn't even have to unfasten them to take them on and off.  I guess I am getting smaller again. Jordyn and I missed you at coffee. Monica

I miss you and I want to see that beautiful girl in person

Back at ya and I can't wait for you to meet lil Jillie um I mean Jordyn. Monica

I can't wait to cuddle with her......sorry I missed you guys.

ok so here is my wow moment. I have been working with the trainer for a couple months now. We have been working on endurance and getting me in shape so I could start training for a marathon. Well I hurt my toe so that goal is on hold for a while but I have a new goal. I recently applied to the local Police dept. and I need to be able to pass the physical testing. I told my trainer so that we could refocus my training. I have been doing ball crunches since the beginning and pushups using the bar of a weight machine. Yesterday I did real sit ups and push ups. I can fairly easily do 10 of each. That might not seem like much but each is 1/3 of what I will have to do on the testing date. So I am well on my way. I amazed myself I can do it.

Hi Monica!  My wow is that I will actually make it through day one of the five day pouch diet thingee.  I NEVER believed I coud do it but I have.  Work is always the worst  time for me food wise and since I go home in 5 minutes, YAHOO, I did it!!! jillie

Jill the hardest is just getting through the first couple of days really....once you hit a stride you will not look back....just find things to keep your thoughts occupied other than food. I know easier said than done, but I am glad I stuck it out because I am smaller than I have ever been! Know we are all here for you!
