My First Mini-Wow Moment!
So I get up at 6 am today... Saturday.. to be a good teacher and attend an in-service to improve my teaching practice! UGH!! Anyhow... I go to the facility where the course was being offered and enter the building. I am asked to ascend about 8 stairs to the first floor and sign in. I manage to complete this small task!! LOL
Then.. much to my horror.. I'm told that I will need to climb two full flights of stairs to the area where the "introductions" is being held. TWO flights! OMG I begin the ascent wondering when I'll need to stop for air. Suddenly.. I realize I'm on the third floor and I am NOT... hear that.. NOT winded at all!! I manage to even being a conversation with another educator at the top and NOT have to gasp for air!
I will say that I transversed these flights of stairs three more times throughout the day!! I was ecsatic! Right now.. it truly brings tears to my eyes thinking what I've already accomplished in just 9 1/2 short weeks!! This completely rocks! It is my first little step to the rest of my life!! I am SO glad to finally be on this journey to the new and improved me!!!
Just wanted to share.. thanks so much for listening!

they usually say it is one step at a time, but I think in your case it is one flight of stairs at a time.lol

Hi Julie,
That is fantastic!!! Good for you. You have come so far in such a short time! I know the weekend before my surgery I had to walk up 3 flights of steep stairs after a program...I thought I was going to have a heart attack literally, had to stop to rest just before the top floor...UGH!
Are you doing a lot of exercise yet to help increase the cardiac endurance or is this just strictly the wt loss bonus?
Keep up the great work!!

Hello!!
I have started doing an exercise program three mornings a week. It's called "Walk Away the Pounds" and simulates a 1 mile walk. It takes, exactly, 20 minutes. It's wonderful. My plan is to move up to the 2 mile workout the second week in March. I"d hoped to do it the first week, but I think I need one more week at the 1 mile first!
It was a great moment for me! I'll be looking forward to hearing you report the same successes!!!
How are you feeling? Are you taking it easy like I (and Dr. Ben-Meir) told you to? When is your follow-up. I go for my 3 month on March 10th. I can't believe it's almost three months already! It's gone by SO fast!
