Little FART of my own this morning

I hit the gym this morning after work. Did 3.5 miles on the treadmill, then hit the sauna for about 10 minutes. Felt really good. I took my shoes off to jump on the scale. Weighed in at 332 on the one at the gym. I slipped my shoes back on and decided the hell with tying them, I was gonna just head home, shower and hit the rack anyway. Well, I got to my car and remembered I had to stop and get gas. So I sat in the seat with the door open, bent over and tied my shoes. Then it hit me what I had just done. I sat in the seat with the door open and tied my shoes! No huffing and puffing, and I was able to do it comfortably. Now keep this in mind, I am 6'4" and drive a little Honda Civic because it gets great gas mileage. I just sat there a minute with this stupid grin on my face. 6 months ago I would never have been able to do that.

Good thing you had the door open, that one would have blown out the windows. It's amazing all of the things we can begin to do (and take for granted just like everyone else). I believe it's really important for us to be aware of these things and celebrate them. The more we can keep this stuff in mind, the less chance of ever returning to the old days. Thanks for sharing and congrats!!! Brian

Congrats man!! I know in my case I had trouble even seeing my feet and tying my shoes was just about impossible............slip ons or velcro was norm for shoes. This is a great FART and you should be very proud of yourself.

Hopefully you left the door open to let it air out a little

And guess what? You'll still be getting a kick out of tying your shoes without passing out and other neat stuff even after you've been doing it awhile. We--or at least I--don't take these great changes for granted. They're like daily gifts. Better stock up on air freshener!

That's no little fart there bud. That's a seat-stainer. One of the little things I'm already liking is being able to tie my shoes w/o holding my breath. But I bet I can't do it in the car yet, and I drive an F250.

And don't forget to use bleach when doing your whites this time.
