Something New Happened

I am so excited!! For the first time in 20 years, I was able to cross my legs. I don't really get how, because I am still pretty heavy, but I did it. Maybe it's the working out - I don't know and I don't really care. I was just thrilled that I could do it.

It was so weird, I was sitting in the living room and I was feeling really comfortable. I looked down and my legs were crossed and I did not even know I had done it. It was so natural. I was so excited I went around to different chairs to see if I could do it again and I could. It is great to be able to sit like a proper lady, instead of always trying to hold my legs together, which is not very comfortable. Or I would sit on one leg and that's not comfortable at all and probably not good for your leg circulation.

I love discovering new things that I can do. Each day I find out a little bit more. Helps keep me motivated to keep going!!

How long has it been since you've been able to cross your legs? Try it!!

Hugs!

  2. Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your comment! I just got done reading your story. What fantastic success you've had. Congratulations!! Your story has given me hope as I have a lot of weight to lose. I too am doing it sensibly ~ good healthy diet and exercise. I have a dream - I want to row on a rowing team, at the Senior Olympics, when I'm fifty. I've got some work to do!!!

    I like your 3 word idea. I will work on that and see what I come up with. I will follow your progress. I know you will get those 25 pounds off!! Hugs!

  3. That is awesome! Congratulations! It is the small things that count, and this sure seems like quite a miles stone. You might still be far from your goal, but don't minimize what you have already accomplished.
