I had to take my son to the airport yesterday morning

so he can go to Florida and stay with his father through at least June to graduate. Well, needless to say, because of the inauguration, the airport was PACKED...sooo...once we finally got through to check his bag and got through security, he had about 10 minutes before his flight was supposed to take off. Anyhow, we went through the Gate B security check...and his gate was gate A...sooo.. we pretty much had to walk very swiftly all the way to the other gate group and his gate was the very last one. I did this with no problem, knee didn't hurt AND I WASN'T OUT OF BREATH!!! So...just to get my hear rate going again...I walked just as fast when I left the airport to give myself a little more exercise!! I think that may be the breakthrough I need to get off of my duff and start working out!! Just wanted to share!!

Way to go, Marnie! It is always so cool each time you realize you are doing something that you couldn't do or do as easily before. Congratulations!

that is wonderful Marnie! I think one of the first things I noticed right after WLS was that my stamina increased 1000% and now I have absolutely no foot, back or hip pain when I'm walking. I have issues with my knees but that's a different story. I'm also never winded now when I walk. I'm afraid to run though.....I might hit myself in the face with my loose skin LOL and I don't know what that would do to my knees. But anyway that is wonderful for you! now get up and move :)
