Talk about a confidence boost!
I have started taking the more advanced level yoga classes at another location owned by the yoga studio I am a memeber of and the last two classes I have attended the instructor (2 different people) asked me how long I had been practicing, because I looked really good. Wow! And here I thought I was just keeping up! Also today I did the full floor bow pose without the aid of a strap. for tose of you not familiar with yoga this pose is done laying face down then reaching straight back with your arms and bending your kens to bring your feet up so you can grasp them with your hands and you arch your back up as well as bring your thighs off the mat so you are just balancin on your tummy. I also was very close to getting up into a hand stand today almost I am hoping in a week or two to be there. I have also noticed that it is a lot easier to keep my core engaged during practice. I am sort of sad that when Fall Semester starts I will only be able to do yoga once a week, but I am hoping to get to the point of being able to practice on my own at home too. I have found that praying before my yoga practice really helps to center and calm me so that I can really focus..it is amazing how God can help us to do so much! Have I recently said that I LOVE WLS!?! Well I do it has imporved my life by leaps and bounds. Today I took a big step and at my urging my ex and I went in and closed the joint credit card we had together. My ex assumed the balance and I applied for my own card and will do a balance transfer to pay off my portion (only 1/3 of the balance). After all of this is taken care of I am going to move on to the mortgage and insist that either my name be removed from the mortgage or the house be put up for sale in 3 months. I have decided that I am tired of my ex basically riding on my credit when I am gettingnothing out of it. My family urged me to do this about a year ago, but I didn't have love for myself and confidence to do so at the time. Look at me I am flying free! WooHoo! Love & Hugs to all~Nicole

Thank you Debi! I have finally decided that the past needs to be the past and I want nothing pulling me back to it. I have moved on with my life and am living a healthy life while my ex is still living beyond means and so used the credit card a lot. My whole family was so happy and proud of me for stepping up and following through with this. Hope to see you again soon we haven't really gotten to see each other in a while! ~Nicole

Thank you Connie! I too tried yoga about 100 pounds heavier and didn't last too long, but now after loosing it I can pose and flow with the best of them! I was very pround of myself for staying strong especially when my ex started crying because the card had to be cancelled rather than just taking my name off the account, which means no more charging everything. I have become the person I believe God meant me to be because for the first time in my life I love myself just as I am (don't get me wrong I am still growing and losing) and living to do God's will! I have to say that none of this would have been possible without my faith and the hand of the Lord! Love & Hugs! Nicole
