It's been a long haul for me with the most recent re-injury to my sweet back I remind myself that I am in far less pain than I was a few weeks ago, and I just have to remember that because pain gets wearying over time. It's easy to lose perspective I am on the recovery road, though, and I see myself coming to a place that's even more agile and more flexible and more healthy than I was before this happened 
I was chatting with a friend yesterday and he asked me if I was happy now with the amount of weight I've lost or do I want to keep getting slimmer. I told him... long answer to a short question... I always want to be slimmer - it's been part of the configuration of who I am for as long as I can remember. When I look at pictures from when I was in my 20's and 30's I think to myself, "I was darling and adorable! Why did I think I needed to lose weight then?!" He's known me since then, and he agreed "So," I told him, "Losing weight pretty much has to be removed from my criteria. I just want to be the healthiest most flexible and vital person I can be. I'm not in my 20's and 30's anymore; I am a woman who wears purple and wears my age like a badge of experience and wisdom. I am learning to love this body for the whole of who I AM" That was my long answer to a short question
And we just keep on keeping on, n'est-ce pas? How're y'all faring?
