From Rubenesque to Statuesque "Body Combat" Style

    It has now been about seven months and, all told, I am right about at a place of maintenance, having lost thirty pounds, three sizes, I'm not sure how many inches, and my icky attitude.  (That last one was at LEAST a hundred-pound loss!)  These changes that my husband and I made are lifestyle changes that we have adopted as part of our commitment to a daily health plan and, in the process, my paradigm shift goal has also been met with more of a focus on health, family, having fun, and creative pursuits.  (Big surprise that I'm a writer/teacher because this story is so long?!)  And the best part?  Though I didn't take on the Fitness Challenge to fit into a summer bikini or tiny black dress, I've got to admit, these days when I get dressed, it doesn't make me crabby because I don't have to find something that works, I find something I like and that works.  Now I have to push my elbows down into my waist for the two to meet.  I may not be anatomically correct, I may not be politically correct, but my strong body stands corrected.

 

Ta-dah! 

 

Thanks for reading/listening!

 

Best,
