Energy, Energy, Energy!

So I'll start by saying I'm still stalled. My weight has actually gone up a pound since January. But that's pretty much the only depressing thing that's going on in my life lately.
I have energy! Like for days. I am now a size 20 in Lane Bryant pants and 22 in Gwynnie Bee land. Down from a size 30. I can fit a 1X shirt, but 2x is more comfortable. I have boots that fit my calves, and my belt that I could barely close before is now 12 notches in (it has a notch every 1/2 inch)
I'm getting married in 2 months, we're looking into being foster parents. We're buying a 3 bedroom home, and we've already been approved.
OOH, and the best part is that I don't need my cane lately, unless I'm planning a very long walk. I haven't used an electric cart in a store in over a month.(and I've been IN lots of stores) In fact, I was walking around downtown Fargo the other day, with cane, and I left in in a store. LOL. I mean, I left it there and got 3 blocks away before I noticed I didn't have it anymore. From being dependent on the Cane to walk a full block, I've gone to being able to walk 3 blocks away before I even realize it's missing. In fact, for the last week and a half, every time I go out someone notices I don't have my cane.

I feel like, if I stay stalled here, and don't lose another pound, the surgery was still worth it just to get rid of that cane! And I have so much energy that the only reason I'm at home today is because I don't have any clean pants that fit me. I have to do laundry in order to go out today.

    sounds like you are doing great, not using my cane as much either, but I have to start walking more to get out of my stall I think. Great work.

    My guess is that with all that newly-found energy, you will pick up that cane and practice a dance routine! You made me realize, yet again, I choose this journey with all of us.
    Continued success every moment you discover what's next for you.

    Shalon, I'm so very happy for you! Thank you for sharing your great & inspirational story. I wish a whole series of GREAT things could happen for all of us like it's happening for you. I wish you a love-filled marriage! I hope I get another chance at love before it's all over. I hope you love your new house. Even though these are all happy occasions, change produces stress. Be gentle & loving with yourself. Don't have too many bride's maids because they cause drama. I wish you continued success.
