Yoga Progress!

So, I've been doing all sorts of exercise classes... various types of aerobics, band resistance, weights and yoga... for the past 3 months, minimum 1 hour a day and sometimes as much as 3 hours. Last time I was at yoga I, for the first time, was able to put my palms flat on the floor during a forward bend. This time during half-bow (lay on stomach and reach back to grab a foot and hold it, like a laying-down quad stretch) I was able to reach and hold my foot, on each side as we did it! I haven't been able to do that for years because of fat being in the way and loss of flexibility! During full bow (lay on stomach and grab both feet) I was able to get my right foot but not quiiiiittteee my right foot. Teacher said I was about 1 inch away from having my second foot in hand, I just missed it. I was so close I could just barely feel that I couldn't make it. This is awesome. Last class I couldn't even grab one foot, let alone be so close to grabbing both. I'm very pleased. It's nice to see that all this working out is making real progress.

wohoo

I just tried on my older pair of booty-shorts. They fit perfectly! That means my butt is down 2 sizes!

Update on GBP stuff

Life is pretty much revolving around my gastric bypass stuff. With the exception of 3 days, I've gotten my full 80oz of water every day since Jan 16th. I also haven't missed one time of my daily hour of exercise and have, as of last week, started doing 2 hours some days. I'm having to make an effort to get all my protein in each day but it's going okay.

I've lost 69.4lbs since January 2nd and once I hit a full 70 down I'll only have 100lbs more to go. I was ahead on my last goal and should make my 6mth goal a-ok, possibly pass it by a bit. So yay!

I'm fitting into smaller sizes. I bought and wore a size XL shirt the other day, I can fit back into my $600 custom corset, I'm seeing my face is getting thinner, my joints are happier, I'm more comfortable, I can do just about everything easier.

Picture don't show the change very much yet, so I'm not going to post any until there's quite a clear difference to show. But I can see it in the mirror some and Chael says he can see it a lot, plus he can feel a lot of new muscle on me from all the working out.
