New found independence

My new found independence is what I think I am loving most about my weight loss so far. Just a short month ago  I was having hubby go everywhere for me because I just couldn't walk because of the pain/shortness of breath.

How very very pleasant to get up this morning, decide I want some fresh air, a new crossword puzzle book, put on my boots and walk to the store for it myself and then even take 20 minutes to walk around the store and browse before walking home.

Gosh I luv my RNY!

That is fantastic April!
 
   More than anything else that is what I look forward to as well.  The numbers on the scale are great but I want back my freedom to ride a bike, canoe again, swim, golf and go geocaching without feeling that my lungs are going to burst and the medics are going to have to be called in.

Here's to your continued success.

I'm very happy for you, April.

I love being able to walk around without pain.  I also like not having to ask hubby to get things for me.  Isn't it great?  Many more wonderful independence-related NSV's to come, I'm sure!

That is awesome April, what a great feeling that must be.  I can't wait to get back into doing physical activity without my knees hurting.
