new silly wow
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!

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!
