Today I went for my walk around our local dog park. Half way around, I realized that I was not having tremendous back pain, I wasn't out of breath, and I had definitely picked up my walking pace! I smiled and picked up my pace a little more. It was only a few months ago that I couldn't even make it 1/4 of the way around without pain, breathlessness and needing to sit down. Now I can do 3 full laps and feel invigorated, not like I am about to die!! I can truly say I am proud of myself!!

I just wanted to let anyone out there like me; who struggled to even walk a short distance- don't give up! I know how hard it can be. I am thankful that I didn't give up, and will continue to keep going. Please know that you can do it!!

    I love stories like this one--thanks for sharing on this day. Sometimes I want to just throw in the towel because I am losing sooooo slowly it doesn't really seem like it is worth the effort, but then like you, I suddenly notice that I can wear a blouse I couldn't a few months ago, or that taking the stairs to the office isn't an effort any more. Hurrah!
