The other night DH and I were talking and somehow we got on the subject of headstands.   I had not done one since I was in my early 20s.  Well, he encouraged me to try one.  Don't you know I ended up doing one!  I actually got up and stayed up for a good bit of time.  No wall support or anything, just a honest good old headstand.  I was surprised that I had gotten my balance back to that point and that I was light enough to not hurt myself.  Then I tried other things.  I pumped out 8 push ups.  Not the girly ones on your knees but REAL push ups.  I love the surprises that come along with weight loss and exercise.  I feel like a kid again at  nearly 52 yrs old.  What a blessing. 

Merry Christmas to the rest of you kids out there!
My body does not define who I am but I am trying to define my body.  It  gets easier with every pound I drop.

That is fabulous!  I never could do a headstand, afraid my head would crush under all the weight :-)

It is wonderful to try to do things we could be before becoming obese....  and actually being able to accomplish them.  Makes you feel a little younger!

Congrats on your success!

I don't know if I would try a headstand. Maybe I am a little chicken. But my son decided to 'try something he could not do a couple of years ago'. He suddenly picked me up and carted me from the kitchen to the livingroom. Totally funny.

You guys crack me up!!!! :)  I would NEVER think of trying a head stand... nor would I let anyone try to carry me!!!  I always think of myself as being too big for any of that!!!  I'm so glad you're enjoying Christmas.... even the children inside of you is enjoying this wonderful holiday!!!

I need to let that little girl inside of me out more often!!!

I haven't had the gumption to try a headstand and I don't know if I will, but I have had my daughter pick me up. I can't believe it. 

Enjoy!
