Default My First Wows

This has been a week of wows for me. I was wondering when I would get my first. Hope they keep coming.

I amazed myself by being able to do a slow jog on the treadmill for more than 20 minutes without stopping. Just 3 weeks ago I was huffing and puffing to get up the stairs in the garage at work (there is no elevator). I had to stop between flights to catch my breath!!

I went to my parents' house a couple of days ago and my Dad yelled to me as I was going to the car that "he could see a difference". I let out a loud Whoohoo. This was the first time that anyone has acknowledged that they could see any difference in me.

Then yesterday I got in the elevator at work with a lady that I do not see very often. She looked at me straight in the eye and very seriously said "you look great". I looked at her like "what do you mean" (I knew what she meant I just did not want her to see my insides jumping up and down). That felt sooooo good.

YEAH ME!!! I feel as if I am finally making progress. Our middle son is getting married in September so I am on a mission. I so much want to be a DIVA for the wedding.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Congrads on the wows and they just keep coming. The people who never had a weight problem take our wows for granted. We saw boths sides of what we could not do before and what we can do now. Our wows are just so amazing and makes us realize what we missed out on life. When I get those wows, no matter how small, I just want to shout it from the roof top!!!!!!
Enjoy every WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
