8 week anniversary & WOW
My 8 week anniversary was yesterday. The moodiness and depression just *poof* disappeared. I have SOOOOO much energy.
Now, most people know I have two jobs, so I work 7 days a week. Yesterday I got home from work, washed the car, mowed the yard(including weed eater and leaf blower to tidy everything up.), then I washed the windows on my car-inside and out, washed the windows on my garage and washed the windows in my kids bedrooms, I also did three loads of laundry and cooked dinner. Tonight, I got home and pulled everything out of my two car garage, cleaned it, threw a bunch of stuff away and organized everything, did another load of laundry and cooked dinner-then for a finale I played "tennis/raquetball" against the house for two+ hours with my teenagers!
Man is this how the other half lives?? I wish I had known life could be this much fun.
My doc cleared me at 6 weeks for full activities-I just didn't know what that would entail...lol.
Have a great weekend!

when the energy kicked in.. I had to get a seatbelt for the ride.
I CANNOT sit still unless I am fully concentrating on work. (even then it's hard) After I eat my lunch I go out and when it's NOT raining walk a mile, Then when I get off work.. OMG whatever needs to get done, gets done, then some and add in some whatever kind of exercise I can do, and where can we go and Gee it's bedtime already?
I now know how much I was missing "life" and am loving having mine back! And it's ONLY going to get better!
I can't wait! On with life, this is fun, I knew I always loved it, but loving it better now for sure!
Hi Becky and all
Amazing, isn't it?? Today I went up and down the stairs at work at least 5 times - I had always limited it to once or twice a day and would limp if I did that much ... but the old knees seem better now.
And I find myself popping up to do this or that ... things I would have put aside for "later" but now am anxious to get done.
BTW Becky, if you keep having these energy surges, stop by my house! I've got plenty of garage cleaning and housework to share!
Hugs
