My Wow with Sir Paul McCartney!
Seems as I get farther out the Wows are fewer and certainly farther between - yet yesterday was a true testament to just how far I have come.
My husband surprised me a few weeks back by telling me we were going to the Paul McCartney concert here in Halifax-had this been before my weight loss - no way no how -I could not have walked the miles I walked yesterday from parking to concert site on the Commons downtown.
I could not have sat in the bleachers or climbed up and down them all the times I did - my back nor knees could have done it - it just would never have been something we would have ever entertained. An outdoor concert would have avoided it like the plague!
After we parked our car at my Moms we walked about a 1/2 hour walk to the concert site - hubby could barely keep up with me - I dont get winded - I can carry on a conversation while I walk- my short legs walk darn fast! I was so happy that despite yesterdays warm weather I was not sweating!
The concert was the best I have ever been to - he performed for 2 hours 40 minutes - his band was warn out before he was - he came out for 3 encores - it was such an amazing day and evening.
I danced and danced and sang my heart out........ hubby said that he had gotten the VIP tickets so that we would have seats but told me after the concert he realized that we could have been down on the ground in lawn chairs or could have stood for the concert because I can do it now ! He was proud of me!
Happily I report today my back is fine- my knees are fine- and its raining and nothing is aching! I feel a hundred years younger!
Thanks for letting me share my Wow with Sir Paul!
