HOLY MOLY I RAN TODAY!!!

Well I made quite an accomplishment and wanted to share my excitement with all of you. First, I am now done 71 lbs! I walk 4-4 1/2 miles a day and for the last week or so I have been getting the urge to incoporate running into my routine. I did it this morning and actually ran about 1/4 of a mile during the course of my 2 mile morning walk! I felt wonderful (although sweaty and a bit out of breath). I really feel for the first time since my surgery that my health has taken a dramatic turn for the better. I am so grateful for this surgery. Oh and before I forget, I went to Walmart and bought a cheap pair of jeans SIZE 14! This was from a size 20 the last time I bought jeans. Love to you all and thanks for sharing in my excitement, Sandy

Hi Sandy Oh I am so excited for this good news!!!! Maybe next spring you can join to running for 1 mile or whatever. I would like to join this if I can running next year.COOL about your smaller size for jean!! Must feel good about wearing this jean and show off! SMILE!!! Hugs Kathy k

Hi Kathy, I would love to be able to run a mile! There is so much I want to be able to do now that the weight is coming off. Love, Sandy

WOW! Good going Sandy. I can't even IMAGINE running (well, unless it involved chasing an ice cream truck). Just kidding! Seriously, that's such a huge accomplishment. And the size 14......fantastic!! Love, Tammy 39 pounds, gone forever

Hi Tammy, You are so funny!! You are also doing fantastic. Keep up the great work. Love, Sandy

WOO HOO SANDY!!! You are doing awesome! And by the way, if they were a size 14 in Walmart, they would be like at size 10-12 in Filenes....so YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!! CONGRATS! JA

Hi JA, Thanks for the encouragement. I may just take a trip to Filenes just to try on small clothes. I don't want to buy anything good right now because how fast they become too big, but it would be fun to see. Love, Sandy

That is great Sandy. Wow!!! You are doing so well with this surgery and have such a great attitude. Congratulations on the size 14s. Isn't it great????? Hope to see you soon, Maggie

Hi Maggie, I am really looking forward to seeing you again soon. I'm so glad you are feeling better. Size 14 is great but I want smaller! What motivation that was. Love, Sandy

Sandy, What an incredible day for you! 2 great accomplishments. I hope you can continue to incorporate a little running in your routine! As for 14 jeans, that is awesome!!! What a big difference! Now you need to update your picture so we can all see what you really look like! Carmen
