Life After Surgery - Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Denver

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to share that after losing over 130lbs life has changed dramatically. Exercising gives me such a good feeling (no kidding almost a high). It makes me feel great to be healthy and in control that exercising becomes almost addictive. Never thought it could be..LOL I truly hated to exercise when I was 300lbs. I still have 30lbs to goal but I know that I will accompli**** and maintain my desired weight because using the surgery as a tool is why I had the surgery. To think you can just eat and have no consequences after surgery is delusional. Too much food in against calories burned will make you gain weight. The difference is now our actions show results so it is easier to keep on track. I have done several 5K walks and now I am doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Denver. The Avon Walk is a marathon walk of 39 miles on June 24th & 25th, 2006. This is such an great cause that my team "Cheerful Walkers" is looking for others who would like to join the fight to eradicate breast cancer. We need help in our fundraising and are looking for sponsors. If you are interested and would like to make a tax-deductible donation to "Avon Walk for Breast Cancer" and help us meet our fundraising goals go to our team website http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR?team_id=20180&pg=team&fr_id=1180 and scroll down our team web page and choose a name under team roster, and then "Click here to Sponsor Me". We are also looking for others who would like to join our team to do the Avon Walk in Denver. All this information can be found on our team webpage. Life after surgery is so wonderful that I feel truly blessed and one of my ways of showing my gratitude is by helping others. Breast Cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the US. Every 3 minutes a woman is told she has breast cancer. Every 14 minutes someone dies of breast cancer, it affects men too. We can help eradicate breast cancer together! Thank You for your time and consideration.

Good to hear that things are going well and that you ENJOY exercise. I hope I can come to enjoy exercise, too. Because my Mom died of a brain tumor, I spend my time working on brain cancer efforts, and I admire your efforts on the breast cancer drive. Janet waiting for surgeon appointment

Hi Janet, Thank you for your reply. I am sorry to hear about your mom. My great aunt died from breast cancer and my grandparents from cancer and my hopes are that if they could find a cure for one cause of cancer that it would be an open door to curing other cancers. My prayers are with you during your surgeon appointment that everything works out for you in getting the surgery. Exercise becomes a part of our lives after surgery and I really think that with the rewards being so apparent that it encourages us to continue. And, once you get that excerise high, not kidding, you will enjoy it too. Take Care, Lana
