GOALS!

[AmysShrinking 70]

I interrupted my bath to write you this post!

I am exactly 1 week from surgery and I have been making a list of goals and rewards; like ... tying my shoes straight and not at the side because I can't been over to tie them correctly. You know what I mean; I got that sideways bow that looks as if someone standing next to me tied my shoes!

Well, It wasn't until just now that I realized that I have yet another goal I want to achieve after WLS: I want to take a bath and have my WHOLE body under Water at the same time. No more visions of my stomach sticking out of the water like Gilligan's Island!

Well, I hope this put a smile on someone's face today. It made me chuckle thinking about the little things that are going to means so much!

I could go on but I'd rather hear your goals too. Please share.

I had no idea that my sideways bows on my shoes were because I can't lean properly!!! Omg I can't believe I never realized this.

I want to improve my spinal stenosis and be able to walk without pain. To be able to just walk 500 feet. Then imagine a mile.

See the scale number without pushing my stomach in to see!

Shave my 'bikini line' without just feeling around to do it... I'd like to see what's going on again!

Get on my horse without feeling like it takes an act of God, a good mounting block, and a few more prayers!

Have energy to actually get out and do things that I want to do... I am tired of it hurting to walk around a festival or park.

Be able to buy an outfit in the boutique where I get my hair cut... these clothes are SO STINKING CUTE! I want to wear them!

I could go on... LOL!
