Inspiration and thanks to Maryse
I would like to thank Maryse for her inspirational post a few weeks
back. She posted her “Milestone” of sorts about how she is now
running - something she never thought she would be able to do. She
was up to 2 minutes, 12 times alternating with walking some (if I
recall correctly).
I am a 4 year post op. Lost 125 lbs and gained about 15 of it back.
I decided to follow in Maryse’s footsteps and try the walking/running
thing. Today I was able to make it 2 minutes straight twice! (I’ve
been doing 1 min walk/1 min run for 15 mins) but I gave it a shot
today at 2 minutes and did it! TWICE!! I was thrilled!! Like Maryse,
this was something I NEVER thought I would be able to do; nay, WANT
to do! but I really like it and the sense of accomplishment is so
worth it.
Anyway, I guess what I wanted to say is if you are particularly moved
into action by something someone writes here, let them know about it
and share your accomplishments the way Maryse did. You never know
whose life you will affect!
