Hello again! I am just stopping by here once again to up-date everyone! Things are going great here, the weather has gotten a bit nicer. Maybe I should say the sun has been a little brighter, the snow is mostly gone, yes, it is still quite nippy out though as we've had pretty strong wind the last couple of days. It looks like spring is here, and everyone's mood is lighter, but we are still wearing our sweatshirts, etc! I've gotten my bike out, rode it the other evening. Yes... I think spring is coming! I am still walking in the halls at the school, as the kids have their activities. I walked 4 miles now! So hard to believe when I look back to a year ago. I started with walking just part of 1 loop. Now I can do 12 loops for a 4 mile walk!!! Amazing! Again... how did I start exercising? By laying on the bed and doing leg lifts. Just 5 with each leg. Then I added lifting both legs together! So... when it seems so out of reach, when you can't possibly exercise, just do what you can. Lay on the bed. There was NO way I could have ever laid on the floor to do any kind of exercises! But while laying there... just raising a leg, it was a start! Now... look what I am able to do! Then I added some arm movements. Again.. very, very simple things, but it got my body in the right mode!
Well... I am 16 months out of surgery (December 7, 2009)... 170 lbs lost now! Last week we helped friends move out of a 4 level home. At first I thought it was so rough, but when I got back home and realized that I'd lost 2 more lbs... I was quite excited! Now I'm looking for more friends who want to move! Haaaa! So now I weigh 153 lbs! I've been at my Drs goal weight (160 lbs) since September 8, 2010, so that means I've been at goal for 7 months now!
Thank you again everyone.... hope you are enjoying these beautiful days! Get outside, breathe in some of this fresh crisp air! Love ya all.. Eydie
