Wow! Home projects are so much easier!

Since it is spring break I wanted to accomplish at least one project.  So, I tackled turning my son's old bedroom into an ofice/ exercise room.  I have been preparing and painting the room for 2 days.  It is SO much easier since I am no longer carrying a chubby cheerleader on my back! I woke up with no sore muscles this morning.  I even had the energy last night to stay up to see Leno!

I am still shocked and amazed at how much easier everything in life is without 116 extra pounds on my body.

If anyone is still on the fence about doing WLS- go for it!  Your life will change in ways you cannot imagine.

I agree 100%.  Right now I have 2 painting projects going.  The living room, and the bathroom which one day last week I got tired of the tile board in there and just started ripping it off, and when the hubby got home he had a surprise.  So he put up the sheet rock this weekend and I have been sanding and painting.  Before I would have been so sore from climbing the ladder, but not now, not one sore muscle on me.  And I actually have energy to get these jobs done.  Before it would take me forever because i was just to tired.  Hopefully now I can take  care of my home and make it a place that I can be proud of.  WLS has not only saved my life but changed it as well.   Rosielocks 

OK I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN IT WAS A CHORE JUST TO WALK FROM MY CAR INTO THE HOUSE OR MY JOB. OR EVEN CIRCLING THE PARKING LOT SEVERAL TIMES TO FIND THE CLOSEST SPACE. NOW I COULD PARK AT THE END OF THE LOT AND HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL. I WAS TOLD YESTERDAY AT THE GYM THAT I EVEN WALK WITH EASE NOW. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO PICKUP 150LBS AND WALK AROUND WITH IT BUT I DON'T THINK I COULD DO IT. BUT HOW DID I DO IT BEFORE? I JUST DON'T KNOW!! ANYWAY CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ABLE TO DO THINGS WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE NOW!! YOU ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG!

Hello my long, lost sister!  Nice to see that you are still kicking, breathing and remodeling!

OMG !!!!  Are you trying to shame us into projects?  I know, I have a few you can come do for me.  Promise, they're fun    : O   !

Gee, Lynette!  Thanks for the wonderful offer but I think I will take a pass!   I still need to do my living/ dining room but that will have to wait for summer.

Amen my sister!  It took me a long time to realize I could even tackle a big project, I was so used to giving out.  What I have done, hit or miss, in the past two days would have laid me up for a week pre WLS-yet tomorrow I'm going off to pick up a load of rocks for my rock garden.

 

Spring is HERE!!!!! and we are enjoying it!!!!!!!  Yes yes yes yes yes~~~~ 

Good for you Denise! My new found energy has resulted in an intense cleaning out project and I have brought to Goodwill every piece of "junk" that has sat unused forever. I cleaned and rearranged the girls' bedrooms (and amazingly they are staying that way). One thing that has not changed though -- I need to paint badly, but I still hate to paint. LOL

I hate painting too but love the results.  I have been avoiding this project for way too long.

I need to go buy some more rocks myself!  And some topsoil, some mulch, a few shrubs, and the list goes on and on!  I LOVE spring!

I love it!!!!!  That is great!!!  I wonder how in the world we functioned before?  Oh yeah, I know...eating a constant supply of sugar for energy!
