[365yogajourney]

I have reached the highest weight I have ever been. 154 pounds. The highest I had ever been before this was 137 pounds and that was when I was 9 months pregnant with my son. At 43 years old, I have gotten to a point that I never thought I'd reach. It's hard for me to be honest about how I feel, because I have a tendency to make it all sound positive, especially when people feel the baffling need point out how much weight I've gained. As if I failed to notice.

Sometimes I feel some weird need to blame myself for this weight gain, and in part it is true. Even now, I could eat healthier, I could start an actual exercise regimen. But there have been so many other circumstances that have played a role. Hormones that were and still feel a bit messed up, turning 40, changes in my relationship, and more than anything a lot of stress at work.

I have gotten to a point where I want change, but not in the way that I used to look for change, which was beating myself up completely in order to get gains. Restricting, working myself to the bone, moving in ways I did not like at all.

So I am starting over. All the way over, and I don't even really know where to start.

I can't listen to any more advice from anyone. I am simply turning to myself. Turning inward and listening to my own soul, my own heart, and my own common sense. I know my body better than anyone and I am far from stupid when it comes to nutrition, especially feeding my own body.

I would be lying if I didn't say that I would want to lose 20 pounds. But by saying that it would be a purely emotional reaction. Also, it would purely be for aesthetics.

So every day I will have to remind myself that I am doing this for a different reason. Even if I lose no weight, but feel better and gain muscle back, gain my flexibility back. Most of all to gain back my peace of mind. My joy and my happiness.

I am starting to see more and more books with older protagonists. It's always a breath of fresh air to read characters that have more life experiences, good and bad, who continue to push forward and challenge themselves to make new new memories. Thanks to @bedazzledinkpublishing for the gifted copy. QOTD: What's a book you recommend that has an older or middle aged character? 💐SYNOPSIS💐 When fifty-something Naina Mehta’s husband unexpectedly dies of a heart attack, this imaginative suburban wife turns into a bold woman thirsty for new experiences, a far cry from the classic image of the aging Indian widow dressed in subdued colors and focused solely on her children and God. Naina also grew up in a society where historically widows have been expected to abandon all pleasure, particularly remarriage, and, in extreme cases, have even had to give up eating sweets, making Naina's foray into such  territory groundbreaking. As Naina becomes more empowered, she nervously dips her toes into the world of dating for the first time in her life. She might find that the possibility of love still exists for a woman of her age, but what happens if the man in question is Muslim and stirs generational wounds and the wrath of her conservative son? #womanofanuncertainage #books #priyamalhotra #bookstagram #tbr #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #Indian #middleage #widow #aapi #aapibooks #reading #bookphotos #asianauthors #asianbooks #asian (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci_TfVoLja5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This person tests this product in a way that makes me very happy. Thank you. Small note, what about the control sample? Seeing how the stains respond after just a warm wash (no additives) would be so interesting. What if water alone is as effective?

Hii 🩷 popped in just to recommend you a beautiful fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/48650629/chapters/122721331

De amore ex tempore by persephoneflouwers

"Jump! For fuck's sake, Louis, jump!"

Louis looks down curiously at the ground and notices that the backpack is gone. The grass appears greener than it did before; a minute ago there were streetlights in front of him - why is there no light now? His brows furrow.

“Is there a blackout tonight?”

He starts coughing uncontrollably as if water has flooded his lungs. He brings his hands around his neck, feeling like he cannot talk nor scream for help – he can’t breathe.

“Louis, jump!”

And he can’t see, feel or hear anything, but trusts the voice. He jumps.

Then it’s just cold and dark.
