Reached a milestone

 I've lost a whole stone and what a relief, feeling better already able to move around instead of waddle its definitely to do with the no carb diet but also been swimming in the sea now that I don't feel so out of breath with the weight I am able to move around and do exercise so all is good at the moment.

Also been back for my third session of counselling she feels the weight loss is the trigger for my lighter mood "ya don't say"!!!!! doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out. Feeling a lot happier and healthier because I feel more like my old self and its not all to do with looks or being stick thin its how you move around its the breathing difficulties added to the fact that my natural body type is a thin size 8! It stands to reason a size 8 person made size 18 in a very short space of time is going to experience some form of discomfort isn't it?

Anyway booked an appointment to see her at the end of September to check I'm doing ok and will remember to ask her about the post traumatic stuff.

Kundalini Yoga.....Breathe in......Breathe out.......

"Go inside and listen to your inner voice. Every question has an answer. Your soul is full of wisdom and knows the way" Yogi Bhajan (1929 - 2004)

I've started yoga and so far so good, Kundalini Yoga teaches you the art of relaxation and self-healing with mental elevation, it balances the body and mind and enables you to experience clarity. Using Pranayama (breathing) as a means to focus the mind and turn off the internal chatter, Kundalini is not a religion and is practiced for it health benefits by different people of all faiths. This is a gentle form of yoga and I didn't feel that I had overly exerted myself just gently toned and focused my mind. Afterwards I could feel I had done some exercise but was feeling so invigorated that I went out for a walk with my neighbour and her dogs and managed to go the full 5 miles (admittedly with a lot of breaks) but I still just about managed it and again feel amazing and full of vitality.

I've booked up for 5 more sessions of yoga and will keep everyone informed of my progress.
