Energy boost - I've lost a whole person!!

Sep 13, 2015

Yesterday my family and I walked in another 5K.  It was for the Neurofibromatosis (NF) Childrens Tumor Foundation (CTF).  My son's girlfriend has this condition which can cause tumors to grow on nerve endings throughout the body.  She has a very mild form of it but has bone abnormalities due to her condition. She doesn't let it stop her though.  I was very happy to support her in this cause to help research for it.  Before the actual 5K, we warmed up with ZUMBA...  I was able to dance for the entire session and then while waiting we were dancing/moving around while the festivities were getting ready.  I had my 5000 steps for my fitbit done before we even started the 5K.  We walked, we jogged, we had so much fun enjoying each other and the nature, beauty around us.  My hips did start to hurt a little, but I still had ENERGY to keep moving.  I ended up with almost 20000 steps on my fitbit!  When it was time to go to bed, I felt like I still had energy and stayed up way too late...  I had to work my 12 hour shift today and even though I didn't get much sleep, I'm still going strong.  I find it so hard to believe I have lost 137 pounds so far!  That is a whole person!!  I still see myself as a big girl and have the mentality of that big girl but because of the ENERGY I have now that helps me to remember I'm not that same fat girl in the mirror that I used to be!  I'm getting so close to being in onderland that I can almost taste it...  only 19 pounds left.  I am so extremetly happy that I was able to have this surgery to save my life and to let me be ABLE to ENJOY my life once again!
