oh, and i wanted to share a personal victory for me...last night i went to the gym for the first time since i've been able to see my feet again! i was pleasently surprised since my gym had undergone a major renovation while i was away and i love it now! it used to be just the stinky old gym...but we're lookin' pretty high class now...maybe more motivation to go :)
i know it had been a while since i'd been last, but i try to give myself credit since my body has been through a lot in the past year:
- i gained and lost 35 pounds (okay...so i only lost 30 pounds so far!)
- my muscles, tendons and ligaments had all relaxed to jelly and were barely holding me together
- i suffered through more than 2 months of off and on sciatic nerve pain and physical therapy
- i hardly slept for 2 months
- i had major surgery to remove a 9lb4oz baby boy from my belly!
i praise God for how amazing the body is, though...especially a mom's body, so i won't complain that i have just 5 pounds leftover from the experience....and even more than not complaining, i celebrate what i look like now since it's the result of producing the cutest little guy around!
"For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139:13-14
