Last night was yoga - and I'm happy to say that after only three weeks, I can see real progress. I can put my palms flat on the floor, when I stand with my feet at shoulder width apart. When I started, I could barely brush my fingertips on the floor.
When I'm seated with my feet apart - I can touch my toes! That wasn't even close to possible when I started!
I actually touched my forehead to my knee - again, seated, with my legs apart. I couldn't hold it for a very long time, but I did it!
When I see progress - I'm even more motivated to keep trying - to keep pushing - even if the progress is small. And that is true in every aspect of my life.
I'm rapidly approaching the weight I was when Dave and I got married, which I haven't seen SINCE we got married almost 16 years ago. I'm within two pounds of having lost 125 pounds from my biggest. I have already lost more in the 12 weeks since surgery than I lost in the entire YEAR before my surgery. And I've lost 44.73% of the total weight I want to lose. Yep - definitely making progress.
