First real WOW moment!!

I went walking today on my lunch break and I walked 1 1/4 miles in 31 minutes. Keep in mind that before my surgery I had a hard time even walking to the bathroom, and I had to use one of the motorized scooters at Wal-Mart because I couldn't walk through the entire store. I bought most of my stuff at Walgreen's and convenience stores because I couldn't walk through the big stores...and it has only been 4 months since my surgery!

Michelle thank you sooooooo much for posting your Wow moment - I can barely walk from my car to my desk and can't imagine walking 1 1/4 miles net alone doing it in 31 minutes. You inspire me - keep up the good work!
