The Fitness Fight After…

5 children, and car accident a few months ago that derailed my fitness efforts for a while.  Well, I am glad to say, it is back on track, I am down 19 pounds, 11 to reach initial goal, and then, I will reevaluate, and see if I want to drop any more.  I feel better, and the pain in my hip from the car accident is pretty much history, my body feels normal.  I have gotten a rhythm going again, and a friend has loaned me her treadmill.  I am going to the gym, doing a considerable amount of ab workouts, leg workouts, chest and arms, eating much better, it isn’t really hard, I think I just hit a wall after the car accident, and felt bewildered after getting going, and having this person run into me, and derail my efforts. 
All of that is history now, and we are about to turn the corner into Spring.  I’m at about 2 miles on the treadmill at a session, and I try to do two sessions daily.  The waist is going down, 3 inches gone, 2 pant sizes that I hope to never see again.  One more pant size, and I am in single digits, and it seems so surreal to me, that it has been so easy, I feel good.  I am myself again, and things in my life may not be storybook perfect but, they sure are wonderful.  Red rose
Knitting is still going strong, I am working on a sweater that is giving me fits, repairing an afghan for a friend (my hooks have disappeared that I need to finish it…Sad smile), and the little one’s cowl is done which completes her set.
I tend to bounce around with my projects but, I prefer to finish BIG projects all at once, and the sweater is that project. 
Right now, I have a lot of things in my head and special people that light up my day so, to you, and you know who you are thank you, and I look forward to another day of laughter, and whatever comes.
