a 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!

My body does not define who I am but I am trying to define my body. It gets easier with every pound I drop.

Now that's something I'd never try. I'd fall over and break something. Good for you. I wasn't able to do one when I was in my teens.

Sandy,

Nothing silly about handstands at 52! That's incredible and awesome and I'm so happy you are enjoying life like a kid again, I know just how you feel!

Hugs, Laureen
