Unexpected Goodness

 MOSTLY WOMEN'S ISSUES AHEAD. You have been forewarned. ;-)

 I put on a pair of jeans this morning, thinking it was a different pair. They fit snugly comfy, & I looked down in horror, thinking that I had somehow gained so much weight that they didn't fit anymore-- nope. Wrong jeans-- I have LOST enough weight to fit into them, yeehaw! 
 ~ On the slight downside, this means that my bum has shrank, and there's not a whole lot of it there to begin with. My observations on the peculiar sagging of every last single pair of pants/jeans that I own is accurate;  none  fit 100% correctly. So it wasn't just my imagination, thinking that my underbritches haven't fit me right for the past 2 weeks? How weird. Even more strange, considering the amount of weight I've gained over the past 3 years, my size has only gone up 1 number. It always seems to flummox the sales girls; I have a wee bum but a big tummy, so smaller sizes still fit. The sizes usually associated with women my size sort-of make a really nice kite, but don't fit me worth a damn.

~ My bosom has exploded, of course. So that's where all the fat went. Grrrr. Like I needed any more! Ugh. Anyone know of good excercises to strengthen chest wall muscles? It looks like my weight loss pattern has remained similar: bum, legs, tummy, fingers, arms, face, and very lastly, my bosom.

~ On doing yoga: this is going to be a bit of an uphill battle, doing it the way I'm supposed to. However, the good news is that for reasons unknown, my natural tendency has always been to do my version of stretches & dancing in a pseudo-yoga style. Meaning that my postures aren't always correct, and when I'm dancing, it's sped up & also not necessarily posture-corrected. I am MOVING! whoo-hoo

I would have to say that it feels so good just to be able to have enough energy to move. I have an appointment on Monday to get my feet looked at; maybe there will be an additional way I can get my feet healed up faster (right now I'm using tea tree oil mixed with almond oil), so that I can walk longer, again. I am so hopeful! I miss having strong legs & dependable feet.

Depression & undiagnosed disease processes are a bitch.

On the double upside, with the addition of all the various vitamin supplements & 2 meds, I am losing weight, feeling better-- and the Yaz may not work the same, but it is definately still trying to help out with the miserable mental PMS issues that I have... this cycle has been curious. Symptoms have lasted for a shorter duration & are not as intense. It is... wonderful. Imagine having absolute rage episodes, seemingly unstoppable negative emotions & feelings, & wanting to die, every month? That has been me, for a sad majority of my menstruating life. Poor little broken-brained person. Well, more like broken hormones.
 But I'm fixing this... one step and one day at a time.

Cheers!

mood, women's issues, health
