Six Flags Trip

On Monday, I took my Sunday School classes to Six Flags in KY. We chartered a bus and had a wonderful day. We had a total of 35 kids/adults go. The trip for me was wonderful. I did not worry if I would fit in the seats and was just able to really enjoy the day. I even put on that dreaded bathing suit and went to the water park. And...fit in the bus seats. My 20 yr. old daughter had a hard time keeping up with me. She kept saying "Mom, would you please slow down". I guess I had years of bottled up energy....who knows. I did not make it to the roller coasters. I had to watch my time for the kids to check-in with me....so that limited my time some what. But I did make all the water rides. My sister-in-law and my 11 yr. old niece was even commenting on my energy level. I tell you it just feels good to feel good. For those anticipating/waiting/or just has had surgery...you're time is coming. I have teenage girl that is always saying "You look hot". she is such a sweetie. Whether I do or not....the compliments are great. This surely is one of the best decisions I have made. I have lost 109 lb. and looking forward to losing the 70 some remaining pounds. Last night I went to a band booster meeting. First time I have seen any of these parents since April/May. Some were wondering who the new person was until they realize who I was.

Janet... I was truly inspired reading how your health has improved since your surgery. I am looking forward to my energy increasing and being able to do things without feeling so drained!! Keep up the great work. You are a motivator! ---Barb A
