Yesterday I wrote about moving my tank. Here is a picture of what I moved!! Below is what I wrote about how I got it off my truck and onto this stand. My non scale win yesterday was that I single handedly removed the 500-gallon water tank out of the back of my truck and put it on its stand. That may sound easy but it wasn't! The tank itself is around 100 pounds or more plus it had some residual water in it. Not sure what the total weight was but it took all my effort to get one corner up an inch to slide a board in under it. Then I had to use a metal pipe to lever the other side up in order to slide it onto the stand. Once it was all aimed to go onto the stand, I leaned my back against the tank that is around 4.5 feet tall and shoved with all my might to get it to move 6-10 inches. Eventually I got it onto the stand. I won!!

You did and that's amazing! But, be careful my friend, a back injury can be very serious and long lasting.

I couldn't do it. Like Shir - as I was reading your post I was thinking about how my back would hurt.

I agree with all of you. I should have had a safety net. I realize that I should have called my daughter, told her what I was doing and then checked in periodically- maybe every half hour. I did realize in the moment that much could have gone wrong. But... I got focused and just kept going. Next time.

You are definitely a motivated woman! However, I agree with Erq1, it would have been prudent to have help/spotter.

I have followed your posts for a few years and impressed with how much you are able to do for yourself. It really is a testament and inspiration to the importance of staying healthy and fit.

Thank you to everyone for celebrating with me! I am finding that as I am determined to stay in my home into old age that I am motivated to tackle the things that were traditionally done by my husband. I am fortunate that there are people I can ask but where possible I want to be independent. Healthy and fit will make it more possible for me!
