Non-Scale Victories!

So, I am trying to focus more on the NON-scale victories!

Here's mine:

1. I can walk! Before surgery, I could barely walk the 12 feet to my front door, but last weekend, I walked 3 miles at the Bariatric Dream Walk!

2. I now have NORMAL blood sugars! No more 300's for me!

3. I have decreased my insulin from 200 units a day to 8...yes....8 units a night...and it's still decreasing!

4. I eat right! For the very first time in my life, I am eating the right way and flollowing all the rules!

5. I take my vitamins! I may hate swallowing them, but I do it and it feels good to put good things in my body!

6. I work out! I go to the gym and I can actually see my fitness increasing. The first time I stepped on the elliptical, I couldn't do more than 1 minute! Now....I can do 1 hour (with a few small rests) and today I did 40 minutes with NO rests! It actually FEELS GOOD!

7. I can drive my car without my belly touching the steering wheel!!! That's got to be unsafe! LOL

8. I FINALLY made an appointment to register for school! I WILL finish my degree!

9. I can clean my house without hurting myself or feel like I would keel over!

10. I actually want to leave my house and have a good time with other people!

All I can say is...Life is good...and it's getting better everyday! Scale shmale!

So, what are your best non-scale victories????  =)

Hugs to all,
Heather   P.S. I am soooooo grateful and soooooo blessed!
