Beyond Terrific

This is what one doctor just told me after commenting on my weight loss. I attended a work related support group meeting this afternoon. The speaker was one of the doctor's I work with but have not seen in a while. After the meeting I went up to talk to him to discuss a patient and he commented on my weight loss. He was the same one that commented before but that was months ago and I had not seen him since then. There were also several former patients there, a couple who I was their primary nurse, and they did not recognize me. It has gotten a lot easier to accept the compliments but I really get a kick out of the expression on people's faces when they realize who I am!

With the nicer weather here (and hopefully to stay) I started back walking today. It was still cool this morning but I wore only jeans and a t-shirt as I always warmed up walking. Boy was I wrong this time! I never broke a sweat and did not get out of breath even once. I even talked the whole time without having to stop to catch my breath. I easily could have walked the track several times but I had to come home to get ready for the meeting. Another beyond terrific moment!
