A New Top Ten List...

When I began Augusta's Biggest Loser, I did a "Top 10 Things I Can Do Now" list. Now that I'm over 100 pounds down, I thought it was time for a new list, as I'm discovering new things I can do:
 
10. Stand on the back of a pew to take down the missions conference flags without worrying about breaking the pew.
 
9. Walk between two pews in our auditorium (as opposed to scooting sideways).
 
8. Stand on a sitting stool without breaking it or falling off.
 
7. Spend a lunch hour at Steak and Shake without eating cheese fries.
 
6. Real push-ups.
 
5. See pictures of myself at 340-350 and not remember being that large.
 
4. Climb a ladder rung by rung, instead of dragging my bum leg up one rung at a time.
 
3. Run a mile in nine minutes.
 
2. WANT to run a mile in nine minutes.
 
And the number one thing I can do now...
 
Buy clothes without paying the "$2 more for extended sizes" upcharge!
