Things I can do now and other changes I've noticed

Here's a list of changes I've noticed as well as a few things I find much easier to do since losing a little weight.

1. My rings are much looser. I'm now able to wear my promise ring on my right hand and it's actually still loose. I haven't worn it since before I got married 7 years ago.
2. My face actually looks thinner, my chins aren't as large. They're still there but I'm working on it.
3. I can move around much quicker when I'm trying to cook or do other projects.
4. I don't get out of breath as quickly.
5. I can touch my toes.
6. I can balance on my previously broken ankle.
7. I can hold difficult yoga poses such as the palm tree and chair.
8. I can do step aerobics (step up step down) for 20 minutes.
9. I can jog for short periods of time.
10. I have more energy in general.

  4. I am so proud of you Marissa!!! I can relate. One piece of advice, take measurememnts! I measured my neck, upper arms, chest, waist, hips and thigs. There were times when the scale did not move but the tape measurements did! I am here if you need me! Love, Stephi (Lex's Mommy)
