I just thought I'd share a photo that was taken last year at this time. It popped up on Facebook this morning. Yep, that's me on the front right. Wow what a difference. I can't wait to see what another year will make! Funny how when you're in the midst of battling your weight and in denial you don't see yourself as you are. I look back at pictures and think I didn't see that person when I looked in the mirror. I'm glad I'm on this new journey it may be quite difficult at times but I know I'm headed in the right direction.
I got the results back from the Cardiologist office and all is well. A few minor things, I really hate to say but I think age related, that will have to be monitored every couple of years but all in all the stress test and Ecko were A OK. So my flights have been booked for next month and I'm off to Washington State to see family and friends for 3 weeks. This will be the first time in I don't know how long I won't have to ask for a seat belt extender on the plane Wooo Hoooo!
Also had my first blood tests done since surgery. The Potassium is a little low so not sure whether I'll need to add supplements at this point or the Doctor will wait and see what next months tests bring.
I'll be meeting up with this group of friends again this year so we'll do an updated photo so I can compare shots!
Patti - I just love your attitude. I understand that you believe it has taken a while to get here, but the point is that you are here! Not only are you so positive, you have kept up the desire and willpower to keep going through all kinds of adversity along the way. I admire you greatly for this.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear positive results from your doctors too.
I think you are so right about who we see in the mirror and who we see in pictures. I too, never believe what I see in photographs of myself - its hard to see them. But here you have a lovely picture of a happy get together that you see as a starting off point. You have come so far in such a short period of time, and there is no reason to think you are not going all the way!!!!
Keep it up Patti! I'm about 1/3 of the way through your blog and you're working hard and doing well.
ReplyDeleteI'm just now catching up on all the blogs etc that I visit. I'm glad you have a good report from the cardiologist and you will have such a fun visit with family and friends.
