Momentum / Flex - I am sitting her bawling!!!

I was standing up talking with my husband and dropped something on the floor. It landed right between my feet. :( Straight down, right between my feet. :(

I looked down as I was talking to him, and bent over and picked it up.

I BENT OVER AND PICKED IT UP.

Didn't think about it. He looked at me as I was still talking to him and interrupted me and took what I had dropped and put it between my feet and told me to pick it up. I looked at him like he was nuts and....

BENT OVER AND PICKED IT UP.

He said to me, "When was the last time you remember doing that without squatting and holding your breath?"

I looked at him in total shock, sat down in my computer chair and just started crying my eyes out. He was confused and had to leave the room because he didn't understand why I was crying like I was - hard to comfort someone when you don't expect that reaction.

He came back and I tried to explain it to him and he 'says' he understands... lol.

I know I don't have to explain it to anyone here.

I BENT OVER WITHOUT BENDING MY KNEES OR HAVING TO SQUAT TO PICK UP SOMETHING THAT LANDED BETWEEN MY FEET!

Congratulations! It only gets better.

That's AWESOME! Good for you!

How wonderful that you can do that now. Funny that he was the one that noticed.

Hooray for you! What a great moment!:hug:

It is posts like yours and watching peoples um..slide/ticker/you know, that inspire me to go at it for another day tomorrow. I am so happy for you!:carrot:

Yeah!! Don't worry we completely understand :hug: I'm waiting for the day I can completely put my socks on :D -- not tucking them on the end of my toes and then rolling my feet forward on the floor to get the rest of them on :dizzy:. I can, however, bend over now and not feel my tummy deciding where the rolls are going to bend :D

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!!!!! Good luck to you as you continue your weight loss!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your inspiration! I am so happy for you!

That is so wonderful! It's funny how shocked you were. Kind of like when I was climbing the stairs at the beach recently, and I suddenly realized i wasn't huffing and puffing, and didn't even have an urge to stop 2/3 up to "rest" a minute before continuing. It was "easy", compared to April, when I was 20 lbs. heavier, or last November when I was 35 lbs. heavier.

A great motivation!

Oh Chey, that is wonderful! We understand those tears. (I can't help but think of what your poor husband must have thought! :lol) What an amazing realization - proof that it really is working, you are doing wonderful things for yourself! Way to go!! :hug:

:bravo:

Beautiful! Chey, you rock and you crack me up, 2 very good things! :D

I can't wait to see your "after" pictures because I KNOW you will be an "after" :cool:

Chey!! That's so great! I have tears of excitement and understanding in my eyes for you. I wish I could give you a great big hug. :hug: And a high five!!

Me too (sniff, dab, sniff). That is just so awesome!! Sometimes I think those little surprises are even better than the scale moving :bravo:

You guys are great. This is the only place I could post something like that and have everyone totally get it! :)

This past week was sooooo stressful at work. But... today I found myself dropping stuff and picking it up and laughing instead of groaning! LOL

that is so awesome! I loved your post so much I read it to my husband. It's posts like yours that make me motivated and keep me going :)

:cheer: Ow-Ow! Its all these little things that just make it so worthwhile.. what a great feeling hey?!

Chey I just saw this :) I'm beaming with excitement for you! Wonderful news ^_^

this is really excellent you must be so proud of yourself and all I have to say is what a wonderful hubby you have for noticing and being supportive ......
good for you.....
congratulations

Congratulations! I think it is adorable that your husband put it back between your feet so you'd realize what you'd done. Sounds very sweet. That's wonderful you've hit that sort of milestone! Good job.

That is so awesome! Congratulations!

Very awesome! Way to go!!

I am very lucky, I agree. He supports me 100% with this and so do my children.

You guys are great too! I am sure that I wouldn't be doing as well as I am without all of you! I know that I say that a lot, but it is sooooo true! :)

Chey -- i just noticed this post and when i read the title i thought, "oh, no, not chey, what's going on with her that she's so sad?" considering you're usually so upbeat!
throughout the story, i was wondering what made you cry! did you drop something fragile? or surprising? did you notice something gross growing on your foot when you bent down?
so, i guess i'm just as bad as your hubby!
but i get it now! so happy for you!! keep it up!

:rofl: Shrink! Something gross growing on my foot! LOL LOL LOL

Congratulations! That's a terrific NSV!!

Chey!!! Way to be!!! I love it! Keep going, and thanks for the inspiration today :-)

Congrats-thanks for sharing. Your success helps all of us.
