Big Accomplishment

Yesterday was a big day for me!  I am 5 lbs away from 200 lb weight loss, but the major accomplishment is that I walked the entire Super Wal-Mart to do my shopping WITHOUT use of a scooter at all!  I used to be confined to the scooter every time I went out.  Then I progressed to being able to go about half way then having to get it.  Yesterday, no scooter!  I was really tired last night, but I am so happy!

And... I also got my first pedicure.  Wonderful awesomeness. No wonder all my friends encouraged me to try it. It was a great reward to myself for losing enough weight to fit in the chair. Yippee! Such cute little white flowers on my purple toes.

I will be taking new pictures at 200 lbs weight loss.  Stay tuned...

It was great to see some of you at Rise & Shine on Saturday morning.  You bless my life.  Have a blessed week everyone!

WOW!!!!  That's fantastic.  It seems like yesterday that Debbi was scooter bound as well.  Both of you are such inspirations.  I can't wait to see the new pictures.

Congrats!!!  In just a few short months you are over half way to your goal.  That is wonderful.  I can only imagine how it felt when you left Walmart yesterday knowing what you had accomplished.  Keep up the good work.  We are all so proud of you!!!

Shawn-Marie I'm so happy for you!!!  I swear whenever I read your posts it brings back my own feelings when I accomplished the same things.  I know how excited you were when you walked the whole Walmart without the scooter!!  More and more wonderful things are in store for you and I'm so glad you are sharing your victories with us.

Can't wait to see your pictures!  I'll get out to RNS again sometime and will give you a big hug!  Congrats!!!

Hijack!  Deb, If you do go to RNS, please let me know.  I hope I can go, lol.  I could even drive us if I am not booked *crossin my fingers*!  I got my pretty purple truck!

That is amazing!!!!  Thank you for sharing that. 

I'm having one of those days where I just feel kind of low.  Stressful things are going on.  And you sharing that brought me right out of myself. 

Things are going to get better and better for you and the best is yet to come.
