I took Body Flow for the first time in 2 years today. Thankfully I wasn't sore after yesterdays workout. It wasn't terrible, but man, are my ankles week. In Flow there is a balance track and was I ever shaky. Especially on the ankle that I broke last September!! Ah yes...another think that added to my defeat in the last years. Let's do a timeline of my backsliding, shall we?
February 2012 - Reached 100 lbs lost
April 2012 - Became Pregnant
April 2012 - Father Diagnosed with Liver Cancer
June 2012 - Father very sick in hospital nearly dies from internal bleeding while out visiting for Father's day. Drank a Diet Coke because I was tired and not sleeping. Continued to stress eat and gained weight.

November 2014 - Best friends breast cancer has returned, metasticized into her organs and bones.
January 2015 - ankle starts to feel a bit better, but still achy and weak
January - May 2015 - Ate and gained weight
May 2015 - decided to stop drinking diet coke and eating well again
June 2015 - badly bruised/broke? my big toe while slipping and jamming my foot in the tub getting a pedicure
