Yoga slave girl

I have been feeling great about myself lately. A lot of confidence has come through with losing weight and getting healthy this year. I made some changes in the new year and decided to get into shape. I've been walking daily as well as doing yoga. I'm a yoga girl! I love how yoga makes me feel. I have better balance and feel very centered after a yoga workout. It's starting to shape my body and make me feel really good about myself.

Master gave me permission to give myself a new hair cut and style. I went to the salon and got my hair cut short. I haven't had my hair cut in a salon since my 39th birthday!! I couldn't believe how much hair came off my head!! I dyed my hair red and also treated myself to some new clothes. I'm in a size medium now!! :)

I got my son to take some pictures of myself including this one of me holding onto my new yoga mat. I also posted a picture on Tumblr of my backside. I am 40 years old and feeling so much better about myself! I haven't felt this good in years!! I've noticed a really big improvement in my arthritis with doing the yoga. I've got more energy and feel years younger. I've had several people compliment me on my appearance lately.

This is just the beginning of my new journey. I'm going forward with a new healthy lifestyle with Master Anakin. Master Anakin has lost 28 pounds so far. We have lost 45 pounds together in 2013!! That's amazing! I'm so proud of us. Our marriage and relationship is stronger than it's ever been! I'm also feeling really good about myself!! It feels great after feeling so crappy for so many years. I can't wait to keep going and see what I look like at the end of this year! I'm not looking back. I'm moving forward and loving life! :)

I did weigh-in this morning. I'm down another 2 pounds. A total of 16 pounds so far this year!! Amazing!

....

I had a date night on Friday with Master. I will be blogging about that next! :)

My force is strong!

May the force be with you all!!

Healthy new changes for Master and I!

Today is weigh-in day for Master Anakin and I. I'm really happy with the results! I have lost 4 pounds this last week!! I've worked really hard for it too! I've been doing a combination of yoga as well as walking. I've also been on a new healthy lifestyle with my eating and health. I have lost a total of 12 pounds since December when I got the flu! I am now at 167. My new goal weight is 160 and it's already getting closer to making that goal.  I'm really excited!

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!!

TGIF!! It's finally Friday!

TGIF! It's finally Friday! yah! It's been a pretty long week. I'm looking forward to some time with Master Anakin. I'm hoping we can find some alone time too! I'd really love to play on the darkside with Him! :) 

I am back from my morning walk. I'm about to do yoga with my workout buddy. I'm trying to stay on a healthy track even though I have some health issues. I saw the Doctor the other day. I'm getting some tests run. I wish that it didn't take me so long to get healthy. I'm 40 now and finally on the right track but it took me a while. It's been very challenging to make new healthy changes. I know that I need to though. My health isn't the greatest and I want to be around for a long time.

I'm really glad that I'm making healthy new changes with Anakin by my side. He's been a really great motivator and personal trainer! Thank You, Master. You are my strong force! 

I hope you have a good weekend!

May the force be with you all!!

Darth Vader is my personal trainer!

I am finally sitting down to blog. I have wanted to write but had a busy morning. I have had a few new adjustments to get used to. I am doing yoga daily. I'm also walking in the morning as well as the afternoon. I've got almost 2 hours of work outs! It's been really challenging. It's not easy to get back into shape. Darth Vader has been kicking my ass though! He's a very tough personal trainer. It's exactly what I need right now. A very strong Dominant Master.

Master Anakin has turned into a new Man/Master. :)  He's lost 19 pounds so far! He's making some really great new changes. He's hoping to cut down on His blood pressure medication that He had to take. Things got a bit scary with Him last year. He's almost 50. He's my old Man! He's got to take care of Himself. We both knew that we had to make some changes.

I am cutting down on my social media time. I am trying to get motivated and it's helped me in so many ways! I wanted to list a few of the positive effects of my new healthy changes!

1. I've lost 8 pounds so far and I'm determined to keep going. I reached my goal weight which was really exciting for me! I have a new goal weight of 160. I'm on a new healthy diet as well as lots of exercise every day.

2. I've noticed that I'm not having as many problems with insomnia. It's great to be sleeping better. I struggled a lot with this.

3. my sex drive has gone way up and better orgasms! I've noticed Master has more testosterone too which is a really good thing. The sex on the weekend was the best that I've had in years! It was absolutely amazing! We are living proof that you can have great kinky sex into your 40's!  Our play has also been great too! I'm really happy in my marriage. Getting healthier has connected us in a very positive way as a couple.

4. I'm a happier person and starting to feel better about myself. Exercise really helps with depression. I've struggled with some dark times. :/ Even my PMS was better. I've taken less medication to help with pain. My whole body feels healthier and better.

5. I'm starting to notice that my body is getting toned and stronger! My balance has gotten better because of yoga.

6. my digestion is better. My body was in really bad shape. It's great to be getting back into shape.

7. a better back - My chiropractor told me that my back was tighter and easier to adjust. My arthritis still bothers me sometimes but it's less than it was last month.

8. I found my abs! I'm starting to get abs again! I love to see the shape that my body is getting into. This motivates me to keep going.

9. I'm a better slave and more motivated too! I've been keeping up with my chores better. Master has told me that I've been a really good girl lately. He's proud of me. That means the world to me. :)

10. I'm a better mom to my kids. It's great to see the teen and my son making healthy choices too. Our lifestyle choices have changed us as a family. I think it's made us all a lot more connected and a better family.

:)  I'm really happy with my new healthy lifestyle! I'm really excited about the future and what could happen this year. There is so much to look forward to on my journey.

my journey to the darkside..

May the force be with you all!!

A movie date and fun weekend with Master!

I had a pretty good weekend. There was some fun times and nice escape. Master Anakin was home on Friday. We had breakfast and ran some errands. He gave me a hard spanking with His hand and belt. The teen offered to sit our son for us so we could go to the movies! We went and saw The Last Stand. The movie really surprised me! I'm a big Arnie fan though. I was really happy to see him in the movies again.

Saturday morning was lots of fun. More spankings and some amazing sex! He gave me a g-spot orgasm! I floated in subspace for a long time. It felt great. I saw the Chiropractor. My back is feeling a bit better. We relaxed and cuddled up for the rest of the night.

Weigh-in was on Sunday morning. Anakin is down 4 more pounds! I gained a pound though. :/  I was disappointed because I thought I had lost some more weight. I'm still down 8 pounds though since last month. I'm also determined to have a better week! I started it off with a really hard workout yesterday.

Master took me to Derby Reach park in Fort Langley. It has a really hard hiking trail which is an hour long. It's a very hard trail. Last time I couldn't even make it all the way around. This time I was determined to finish it. Anakin is a hard personal trainer! He had to kick my ass a few times but we did it! I was so proud of myself to make it all the way around a one hour hard hike. We came back to yoga. Anakin decided to give it a try for the first time!

Some of it was pretty funny! Anakin was swearing a bit and doing lots of groaning! lol. :P He told me He has a new kind of respect for the yoga! He thought it would be easier! It can be very challenging at times. I'm starting to finally get some balance but it took me a while! :)

I am starting to think about getting back into running again. I saw some people jogging and it got me thinking. I really miss it. Maybe my dream of going into a half marathon can come true! I gave up on my dreams but am discovering that they can come true.

My force feels strong.

May the force be with you all!!

Our force is strong!

It's been a challenging new year so far. There is some serious health issues going on with my FIL. I've also faced some of my own health issues too. I got really sick with the flu during the holidays. I have tried to become healthier and make some new positive changes in my life. So has Master Anakin. We both decided to get healthier for the new year. We are both in our 40's and need to start thinking about the future. We want to be able to grow old together. That means taking care of ourselves.

We've both been going for walks daily. Anakin doesn't drink soda (coke/pepsi) anymore. His blood pressure is a lot better. We've both been losing weight and starting to get into shape! I'm so proud of both of us! We have been able to maintain our healthy lifestyle even with a lot of stress going on.

I'm even into yoga now! I just finished my yoga workout a few minutes ago. :)  It's really changed my life. I feel like I have become a much happier and better person. Anakin has even noticed a real difference in me lately. I'm less depressed and had more energy. I've even been able to get more housework done. My back is even feeling better! I got my period today but haven't had much PMS either. It's helped me in so many ways to clean up my health and to make some changes.

I was cuddling up with Master last night and feeling so close to Him. He mentioned that He wants to get away with me for a night. He'd like to take me to Whistler or Harrison Hot Springs for Valentine's day! I'd really love that! It would be so nice to get away with Him and escape for a night of romance and great play on the darkside! :)

Our force is strong.

May the force be with you all!!

Trying yoga for the first time

I have wanted to try yoga for years but was a bit worried about it. I was diagnosed with arthritis in 2001 and it's progressively gotten worse through the years. I am in daily chronic pain. I try not to complain about it too much but it's become a part of my life. I decided to try to change my life and get my back and spine into better shape. I saw a program on TV about people who have arthritis and have done yoga. Many of them said they were able to live a pain free life because of it.

I asked a friend of mine on Facebook for some advice on it. She sent me the link for Melissa West (@drmelissa) yoga videos. My friend even offered to join me for yoga. We live miles apart but she said to PM her and we would do the yoga together. I put on the yoga video for people with arthritis. I was able to stretch my muscles out and felt really relaxed afterwords. I even noticed that this morning my back isn't in as much pain! I am really excited about it! I am planning to do my second yoga workout this morning. I'm going to make this a part of my daily routine. :)

I was also able to cross something else off my bucket list! Yah!

#170 -Try Yoga

I am really happy to be making some new lifestyle changes in my life. Master Anakin and even our kids are trying to also. The teen even offered to join me to do yoga sometime. It's great for our whole family to get healthy. I've been thinking about joining a gym but I didn't want to rush into that. Many people join one because of the new year and they quit a few weeks or months later. I am walking daily and now have included yoga in it too as well as a healthy diet. I'm happy to do it at home for now. :)

It's been two weeks since I started on my new healthy journey but I can already feel many benefits from it. I am so proud of myself. Master Anakin has been a really great support with this too. I am really glad that we are doing this together. I believe this will make us an even stronger couple. I am really excited to see what the future has in store for us! :)

May the force be with you all!!
