priceless!!!
ok... i thought i would put this out there... my husband decided he was going to buy me a bike that i had mentioned i may get one day....surprise!!! (very sweet of him)
well, he asked to go for a ride, which i thought was going to be around the block, since i haven't been on a bicycle in 20 years...
i am happy to report, i rode 2 miles.... i was thrilled... yes i panted like a dog in heat, but i did it...and was so proud of myself. it is certainly amazing the things you can find yourself doing after losing a bit of weight... i am no longer trapped!!!!!!!!! i was as elated as a child taking off their training wheels for the first time and hitting the open road....lol
i also had the courage to put on a bathing suit and head to the beach last weekend..!!!!!!
i know this may not be the best post material, but i thought i would let everyone know..things are certainly possible... try and try again... every time i achieve something new, and reach a new weight, and a smaller size, i think to myself...THIS IS WHY I DID THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rode a bicycle for the first time in 20 yrs....
wore a bathing suit and went to the beach....
my son telling me he is proud of me....priceless!!!!!!
sending everyone encouraging hugs!!!! hope all is well!!!!
take good care
