post for 10.11

Jean,

What fun it sounds like for you!  You're going to make a wonderful grandma some day.  Isn't it amazing how much you change and most of the changes are so unexpected!

Thank you both!  My daughter eloped last month, so grandchildren are on the horizon one day!  I love my nephews - the seven year old is my special boy, and has been since birth...   but I love them all so much!  I can't imagine how much more special grandchildren can be! 

Hi Deb~
My energy level went through the roof ~ my kids are so HAPPY Mommy can play with them all day!!!!
I didn't expect my self-esteem to grow so tremendously.  I'm not a Professional Trainer...I stand in front of a class of adults and teach them.  I'm such an introvert ~ or should I say I USED TO BE AN INTROVERT!!!!!

Stephanie,

I also am a recovering introvert!  I still have my moments of needing to be invisible, but for the most part now, I am VISIBLE and I enjoy it!  I have found that I have something to say and people listen to me!  Isn't that amazing when you realize you have worth?!

What a wonderful testimony you have!

I expected my blood pressure to improve, and it has, I no longer take any medication for it.  My ankles and knees were hurting a lot of the time, now they don't hurt at all.  I never thought I would be pain free, since my parents had always had problems with their joints.  I am blessed.   Jules

That is great Jules!!  Congratulations!

I expected my Asthma to get better, and it's just about disappeared.  I plan on going to my pulmonologist after my one year surgiversary to see if I still need my meds.  I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.  Since MY SURGERY DATE I have not had ONE attack!  Even when exercising, etc, I don't need my inhaler.

That is a true testiment of the healing you've been experiencing!!!

I figured that I would improve my health and appearance, which did happen.  What I didn't expect, was the way my food tastes and choices have improved.  I really want to eat the good stuff and, for the most part, I don't want to eat the bad stuff.  My love (yes, I said love) of exercise has also been a big surprise for me.
