A little wow!

Hey everyone! I just had to share my "little wow" for today... I weighed this morning and I'm 3.5 pounds away from a mini goal. That motivated me (along with the beautiful weather) to get out and exercise! So James and I walked around a block in our neighborhood (almost a mile-- I drove it one day to get the mileage).  THEN, I came in the house and proceeded to start cleaning! In the past, that walk would have tired me out so much that I just sat in the chair the rest of the day! Not today!!!  It has motivated so much and I'm so energetic!!! I just got on here for a bit to take a break and share my news!!!   (This is how I feel right now-- HAHA! ) James is like "What has gotten into you?" I LOVE this feeling!! I hope it will motivate me to continue down this road of exercise.  We have a treadmill, but it was so nice to get out in the clean fresh air! We came back and opened the windows... So if I have one thing to share today it's GET OUTSIDE and MOVE!!! Thanks for allowing me to share my "little wow"... Love you all!!!

That's awesome Mindy - it is SO much better outside than in today!

You're right about what a beautiful day it is...  congrats on getting out and walking, cleaning and being close to a goal!!!   Take care, Alice

Congrats Melinda....That is awesome!!!   I overdid it yesterday and my sis in law and bro in law came over to help hubby with some yard work.....it killed me not to do something today.  I sat on the deck in the sun and my hawkeye mom wouldn't let me do nothing  as I scared the crap out of everyone. I can't wait to be a few months out and not worry about hurting myself physically!!   Again, congrats and i am envious! Take care, Pam  

Well, I just got back in from walking another lap.  I think I'm done for the day now-- I just have to cook supper... Feeling very proud of myself though-- I went from doing NO exercise to doing this... I'm going to try to make myself do it at least once a day OR walk on the treadmill... I pray I can keep it up.

Pam, don't worry you will be to this point in no time. I can't believe it's been almost 5 months for me!!!

Have a great Sunday evening everyone!

That is wonderfuly.  I got out and walked today too. Barbara

That is so awesome!  That post just made me smile, I could tell how excited you were!  I can't wait to be able to actually do more than one thing and not have to rest afterwards!  Way to go! Kim :)

Melinda -

COngratulations!!! You'll find that you move more and more as you get smaller and smaller ... and stronger and stronger.

I went to a local outdoor mall today with my family. We went to their favorite pizza joint, then to the bookstore, then to the theater. I know that in the past I would have driven from the pizza joint to the bookstore, then moved the care one more time to the theater. Not today. It was so pretty out, I decided to hoof it. I've noticed that I do it so much more these days and with such ease. I know that you will too.

Enjoy the increased energy and endurance. It just keeps getting better!
