Dancing

Last night I went to Heritage Square in Oxnard to listen to the last concert of the Summer Season.  I was invited by a couple of friends that love to dance.  I thought I can't possibly do this, much less keep up with them.  However, lo and behold, I did it! 

Prior to surgery, I was lucky to dance one half of one song.  Yesterday, however, with only a couple of breaks, I danced the majority of the two hours and 15 minutes that the band played for.  After that event ended, I made my way to the Moose Lodge where I continued to take on another two songs.  Whew!!! 

The bad/good news... This morning, my feet hurt and every muscle in my body aches.  I will consider this good news because after all, it is exercise. 

And now a shout to our Family friend Beth Weaverling.  Beth had gastric bypass surgery on July 11, 2011.  She has lost an AMAZING 43 pounds.  Congratulations Beth, I am very proud of you! 

Jumping on the Trampoline

today, we celebrated my granddaughter Sarah's birthday.  Her mom decided that we would celebrate at Sky High, a trampoline facility in Camarillo.  Prior to this Lap Band surgery, I would have never even on a dare attempted this, however, today, there I was jumping my life away.

I would post the video, however, the twins were not securely in place and well you know... However, here is a "still" picture of me.

As a friend recently said:  "You're doing great!  That roller coaster is getting closer and closer!"

Crossing my Legs

I still have a very long way to go, however, crossing my legs is a great step forward.  I haven't been able to do this in a long time!
