Yeah Me - Making Strides!

Yeah me. Off the topic of sewing, but I had to share because it really does relate to how my clothes are now fitting. I decided to make a lifestyle change earlier this year. I said lifestyle change not diet. I

 

I use to be very active; I ran, worked out and lifted weights. In March of 2008, I had horrific motorcycle accident where I almost lost my right arm, both knees where crushed and my right ankle was mangled. 

 

I had to have emergency surgery to repair/save my arm. I was hospitalized for weeks, but for the Glory of God I am here today to tell you guys about how awesome his is.  I am strong believer.  

 

Anywhoo, fast forward today, I have reached my goal of losing 10lbs, by walking, portion control (I still eat everything I love), lots of water (no sodas or sugary drinks at all), and minimizing carbs. If I eat a burger, I only eat half of the bun (I prefer the bottom).  

 

Yeah me. I’ll share pictures soon, but here is a picture of my bike, that I so loved and miss, and a picture of what my arm looks like inside and out. 

 

Now off to work on my next 10lbs and sewing some awesome stuff to celebrate.

 

 

 

NATURALLY SPEAKING!

I've been on a natural hair journey for a little over a year now.  I don't conform to a regular regiment with my hair as a lot of my naturalistic sisters do.  My version of natural is no chemicals, no heat.  Though I do use a color rinse, just to tame my grey edges.  Not that I mind being grey and will embrace it as I transition.   But right now it is more of a bozo the clown grey than my whole head.  So for now, I will continue to rinse dark brown color in my hair.

 

Any who, the reason for this post is to give a little more insight into to my journey.  On my next birthday, I proudly will turn 45 years young.  I am looking forward to being older and wiser, and hopefully I will exude how beautiful I feel inside, on the outside.
