Side by Side

 John always comes up with elegant solutions.  Take this week for instance.  I was feeling really for no other term really super fat.  John’s solution was to pull a picture from just before I started my lifestyle changes from 2021 in Sabino Canyon. 

Then he took a picture while we were at saguaro national park east today for a comparison. Which he showed me at lunch.  It really lifted my mood.  I can really see the changes in my face.  

While I still have some more weight to lose, even I can see the progress of side by side pictures.  By the way the outfit in the top picture was sent to Goodwill months ago.  This current shirt is 2 sizes smaller.  Notice that I have rolled up the sleeves 3 inches because the shirt is starting to get too big.  The pants were bought on a trip with my eldest just after she finished grad school.  Over a decade ago.  Giving a shout out to shopping my closet. 

So I will continue on my less of me is more of me journey with renewed focus.

Something I Never Thought About

 I think I am going to have to get my Ashford Spinning Chair upholstered.  I seem to have lost quite a bit of padding over this last year.  The only question that remains is whether I pay a craftsperson to do it for me or I research how to upholster a chair and do it myself.  I don’t think they make pre made cushions in this size. If I am wrong please point me in the right direction. The one person I know would have the answer is no longer with us. 

As you can see from the picture it is just a solid wooden chair.  When I got it, it was so comfortable.  Now I just feel like my hip bones are banging against the wood.  This is the only and I do mean only disadvantage of losing weight and inches.  I like everything else about losing the inches and weight.  

Also I was thinking a nice denim would be comfortable and not scratchy. I know it would not go with the room, but I think a blue chair would look nice.
