Anakin has lost 4 pounds this last week like me. A total of 23 pounds this month. He hasn't had any soda pop (coke/pepsi) since the new year and that was a struggle for Him.We have been working together to change our lives. I'm really proud of us! This motivates me to keep going and also maybe change a few things too. I've been adding a lot more vitamins into my day which is helping me with my energy. I'm also thinking of adding some weights into it too. I also haven't done boxing in years and am starting to think about that too. I love to see how toned my body is getting and it makes me want to see what I can do with that.
I am surprised how much I've come to enjoy yoga. I used to think that it wouldn't be possible for someone with arthritis to do yoga but I was wrong. It's helped me to go from being bedridden to being able to move around a lot more. I've also noticed it's helped me mentally too. I am less stressed out than I used to be. We've had some really intense stress (FIL is hospital and other family stuff) and yet I'm dealing with it instead of dropping into a deep depression.
I recently ordered a size medium in some lingerie from Eden Fantasys. I haven't been a size medium in years!!! My wedding dress to Master Anakin was a size 2XX. I was over 200 pounds and miserable. I was able to get down to a size large and stayed that way for a long time. It's a bit of a shock to start thinking about me being in a new size!! I'm on my way to a whole new me this year! It feels great! :)
May the force be with you all!!
