Too Long


I don't seem to be committed to this blogging thing. Not sure why. I enjoy sharing new things happening to me. Thing is I am doing so many things, that I forget to blog! I have lost 81 pounds since my surgery on Dec 23rd (81 days for those counting). I am feeling better than I have in many years and enjoy the exercise in the pool. Enjoying the exercise is huge for me. I have had several ah ha moments lately. One was walking around the dollar store with no pain or fatigue. Standing in line didn't even hurt. Last night at my friend Debora's house, I didn't need help getting out of her incredibly soft, low, cushy recliner. WOW!!! 2 huge things for me. I am running out of clothes that fit. I want to go & try on clothes but I think it is too soon. I know it is too soon. I am just so tempted.
One thing that bothers me is people who don't know me do not know my story, my journey, my struggles. They don't know how I have suffered and still I get up and move on. They still see a fat girl, moving slow and struggling. I feel like they are missing me by not knowing my 81 pound loss.
What crafts am I working on? I am working on a baby blanket. I am trying to finish a circular shrug, and so many other things. I am really trying to finish up projects. Now we are starting a group project of making potholders. I am choosing tawashi cloths as I think they will be unique.
The picture is at 77 lbs. I wish it was a better one, but next time I will smile!!! LOL
Be well & be blessed!
