OK, time for the next letter

Let's do the letter B..... My B is BEST, I am feeling the best that I have ever felt in my entire life. I can do things that I haven't been able to do in years. I can even wear high heals to work again without my feet killing me. There are even days when I feel "B"eautiful on the outside as much as on the inside. I have always had the inner "B"eauty, but people never judge you by that, they look first then judge without ever knowing who or what I am about. Back to my "B" I love this new life that I have been given and I felt good a year ago, then I started to feel better and know I am at my BEST!!! What is your "B" Deanna

"B" is for blessing. That is what I feel this new life is about. I am having shoulder surgery on Wednesday and to be able to answer "No" to questions like high blood pressure and sleep apena that were a definite "YES" before and that makes me feel thankful and "B"lessed. Ellen Can't believe I still need my socks and fleece blankets in April

I miss you, I will keep you in my prayers for Wednesday. Will you be coming to the meeting on Tuesday night then? How long will you be down and out with the surgery? If you need anything call me. Happy Passover! Deanna

Yes, I am planning on being at the meeting on Tuesday night. My surgery is out patient so I will come home the same day. I will be down and out for about 5 days. I hope to go back to work on Monday. Thanks for the good wishes. Happy Easter to you. Ellen

B is for BELIEVE I now BELIEVE that I can win this weight battle. So many times I have tried and failed and the thought of winning was beyond my belief. I now BELIEVE that I can ! Lisa

B is for Boy did I miss everyone while I was away. I never got to a computer to check in. Still catching up on all the emails. Will get back to normal in a couple days. I hope. B is also for breathtaking. This is my 1st time back to Kauai since surgery 3 yrs ago. You know I walked my crazy self all over the place. I was up at sunrise, basking in the warm breezes watching the whales and sea turtles from the beach. How peacefull and truely beautiful. I actually walked all over the resort without a cover-up over my bathing suit to hide me and never lost my breath. They had an awesome gym and I opened it up every morning at 5 to do my workout. I have trouble adjusting to the time change. 6 hrs difference. Course I crashed at 8:30 every night. Went to Costco's there and was able to cook most of our meals cause we had a kitchen. Had my red grapefruit Unjury protein drink & fresh pineapple everyday so I was in heaven. Hoope to see everyone at the Healthy Beginning mtg tomorrow night. Do you know Ellen's number so I can call her?? ((HUGS)) Elissa

Welcome back...I missed seeing your happy face on line. You could have brought some nicer weather back with you. I am doing ok. My shoulder surgery was yesterday and when the nerve block wore off at about midnight...I knew the party was over. I am taking some strong meds and trying to sleep and stretch my arm as best I can when I am awake. Each day will get better and I should be back at work on Monday. I learned to be strong from you and keep a positive spirit. Hope to see you soon. (((HUGS))) Ellen

Oh I want to jump in on this one...My B is for benefits The benefits that I have gotten from having this surgery, even though I am only 5 months out the benefits of free movement of my knee (had a partial replacement) the decrease of meds that I take for health issues and the overall feeling of wonderful are the exact reasons I had this surgery. I love this idea of the letters, too bad I missed A Michelle

Hey Michelle, you can always go back and add your A, it is never to late. Glad you are doing well with your surgery.

B is for believe... I have listened to all the others , so now I will choose to believe that this surgery was one of the most important things I could have done for my future health, and will believe that things will get better in time, and belief I will get through all the struggles I have on my way to a healthier me.
