band, big girl pants, fit, Fitbit, Flex, purple, replacement, ripped, weight loss, widow

a while ago I noticed that my Fitbit Flex band was breaking…

after I bought the Fitbit I ordered a purple band… I know, you are shocked… about a year later it ripped, so I ordered a set with 3 in it… a purple, pink, and turquoise one… of course I’ve only worn the purple one, but I was able to give the turquoise one to a friend… still need to find someone who could use the pink…

it’s been about another year when I noticed this break…

instead of just buying a new one, I emailed them, thanks to a suggestion from my daughter… they responded very quickly and said they would send a replacement… at no charge…

when I arrived home today there was a parcel on the step…

  

yay… and here is the new one on my wrist…

Fitbit Flex band

another exciting piece is that now it only has two open spots where it fastens… in the last year or so it has moved at least five spaces… I was actually wearing the small size while I was waiting for the replacement to arrive…

  
another visible example of how much weight I have lost… way to go me…

life is good…

yoga…

big girl pants, Friday, restorative, slow-flow, surgeries, weight loss, widow, yin, yoga

Friday is yoga at the gym in our office for those who would like to participate… 

this week I asked our yogi to take a few picture for a blog because I would always think about it after the class…

  
we circulate between yin, slow flow, and restorative – which is my favourite…

  
there is yoga on Tuesday’s which is more strenuous, but I only attend the Friday sessions…

  
was worried about how I would feel the next couple of days because we really focussed on the legs…

this morning my legs were very stiff and walking was a little painful, lol… I did walk to the park and that certainly helped…

  
I am constantly surprised at how much more I can do now than when I started… still can’t do much but when I started I had to adjust every pose because I couldn’t do anything… 

two surgeries, months away from work and a big weight loss have all contributed to the healthy body I have now…

trying to figure out how I can keep doing some yoga once I start having every Friday off… hope we are able to sort out a way to have it a different day of the week…

I really enjoy it now… who knew, lol…

renew…

40 pounds, between, big girl pants, clothes, diabetes, jacket, jeans, renew, size, wardrobe, weight loss

since November of 2014, and my diabetes diagnosis, I have lost forty pounds…

I’ve had to renew my wardrobe a few times during the process…

this morning I was shopping, looking for new pants, including jeans, and a few tops… 

apparently I am between sizes again… makes it so much harder to find things that fit, sigh… will have to look in another couple of stores… 

my daughters were both surprised about the jeans as I never wore them until three or four years ago… I only have one pair and they are getting too big to wear…

  
really happy that this jacket we picked up yesterday fit nicely…

been hard to let some pieces go but it is also getting clear that many items are way too big… continue with a box in the dining room which collects all the things that no longer make the cut…
