I am 33 days away from hitting the one year mark from my surgery. It is truly amazing to me how I have gone from someone who is not very active to someone who has a drive to climb hills now.

Last year when we started riding, the last thing I ever thought i would do was tackle the huge hills at the lake. But....lol and behold.....I did. I climbed them and was at the top and happy as could be.

I am very excited for the new outlook, the new clothes, the confidence I have once again and the way I feel.

I feel truly blessed each and every day to be able to get up without pain, and enjoy each an every day to the fullest.

My surgery has taught be allot. Although, habits are still hard to break, and at times the old me gets back in my life and I get lazy. But......I am bound and determined to continue to move forward.

This time last year I was in a size 30/32 pant and a pair of jeans was unheard of to get on my body.

This spring, I am wearing a size 18 jean capri, and some of my pants depending on who makes them are bigger....but for the most part, I feel like woohoooo!!!!!

Well, that is all for the day.

:rolleyes2:
