Default My 2 WOW moments in one week

My first WOW, I did not even realize when I did it till later on. I took a whirlpool bath and I was cleaning my toes and feet and had no problem washing them and touching them in the whirlpool bathtub. I never thought about it, but I could not touch my feet in the bathtub before I lost all this weight. I dryed myself off and went upstairs and sat on the couch and then it came to me that I could not touch my toes before in the bathtub. And it was like WOW.

My second WOW, My husband had his knee surgery on both of his knees yesterday and I had to drive home. A 165 mile trip to home. Well when I sat in the pickup my stomach did not even touch the steering wheel and to top it off I even put the steering wheel way down and still did not touch my stomach. I got so excited I had a hard time containing myself. I just had to go on and on about my stomach not touching the steering wheel. My husband just sat their with a big smile on his face.
I am a person who gets so excited that I can go on and on about it.
By the way my husband is really doing good and he has no pain in his knees. He is pretty much doped up on pain meds. He had torn cartilidge on both of his knees.

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.
