It is just simply nice to be able to end the year having finished an 8 week yoga class in one piece. I have no more heart palpitations, Thyroid tests came back normal recently, all my incisions have healed enough that I don't notice any pain from them unless the skin around them is stretch and the broken foot still has a chip in it but it rarely hurts anymore. I'm just glad to feel fairly healthy. I gained 20 lbs this year but what do you expect when you can't ride a bike or go swimming or even walk anywhere without some pain. The pain is pretty much gone. I'm hoping this coming year will be "The Year of Strength." I want to loose those 20 lbs and gain my strength and endurance back up to at least what it was a year ago if not better. I'm gonna be 32 - I want to be stronger than the average 32 yr old.

Wow raenna I must commend you for your perseverance. That's a lot to take on in a year, not just physically but I'm sure emotionally as well. I imagine you'd have no trouble losing the 20 lbs since you seem so ready to become active again. Wish you all the best with that.
