Default Touch My toes!!!

Okay it has been a great week of WOWs for me.
1) I saw my feet this week. I was just standing up from a chair looked down and WOW --- I can see my feet.
2) I sat crossed legged on a table (its a work table in the office). I got so excited, I did it without thinking about it. Everyone thought I had lost it.
3) Today at the gym I decided to try the whole cook down routine at curves. I haven't trusted myself before to get down on the floor, I was afraid I wouldn't get be able to get back up... Well anyway.... I got down on the floor with my legs straight out in front of me, bent forward and touched my toes....


I am still a little dissappointed that my scales haven't moved in 3 weeks, but I know I am lossing inches because my clothes are fitting differently.

But these WOW moments are helping me hang in there.

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.

I don't have to say nothing because if you could see my smile you would understand.This is the greatest trip I've ever been on. Your words could have come right out of my mouth. The diff is I only went to curves once and I told her I couldn't get on the floor,you had the drive and stayed.GREAT JOB!!!!!!

Those are wonderful wows and it is a big thing when we can touch our toes which we could not before. To most people who have never been heavy take these kind of accomplishments for granted. To us it is huge. Keep up the great job and lots more wows are going to come your way.
