The part of being a Druid to enjoy the magic and the miracles in daily life. Is also giving the time to sit calm and recharge. What would happen if one followed the instructions to sit down and allow the mind to calmness, letting go of any energy used in other parts of life? I'm a Druid that never desired to be a Druid, it kind of came to me and held on. No matter how I stray away, I now have a literal mentor who reminds me every week. Stopping for a just a moment taking a deep breath and ground myself, the better my days will get. And to me the process itself is like Magic. What would happen if I grounded myself for at least 5 mins a day? Closed my eyes, put my hands to my heart, take a large breath...? Would balancing my life, money choices, relationships and side quests be easier? Would shrinking into my pants also get to be easier? Pant shrinkage "before photos" here (shrink out of my work pants). 2nd quest starting: 5 mins of meditation a day. Also will be daily checkin for NF Coaching and LowFodMap quests... that I'm still working on. And may add. Also been heavily interested in the RPG challenge I've seen and might throw in here.

Soo.... I have never been able to achieve fitting into a piece of clothing since I started here all those moons ago. But now I have a pair of pants, 3 pairs of the same pants. That I loathe and question if I can fit in better. The pair of pants is my work pants... the size is Dickie's 48U (whatever that means). I received them back in December with a company change. I could close and barely zip them up, but the pain of red around my belly and my hips asked "why??" after a day. My job has been a mess* where asking for a larger size has been impossible, and the pain wasn't enough to have me go and buy a pair (the pain couldn't beat my ego). I however started seeing them as a challenge. As the sweets were coming for Christmas I noticed my bloat, that would have me avoid a cookie or too. A piece of clothing I could see fit better with small changes. After signing up for NF Coaching the day after Christmas, I have been noticing every few weeks a better change. A month ago my ab muscles were pushing down my zipper somehow (I have muscles when they are start showing up they like to depants when possible). In the last week I realized that the zipper is going up with no problem, and the button is only a hassle because my belly is no squishy over the abs instead of a study fat bloat. AKA progress The goal of this Saga : (probably won't happen) Also there will be many other updates, as I'm gaining a social life (have an adventure or 5 I'm planning for). Might go try camping by the end of this challenge! Whoot! Also 11-1 InstantPot fun, I have been saving up for one finally. And this Thursday I plan to buy it (its $50 off compared to win I was drooling at prior). So fun like that! Progress uniform photos to be added here: Feb 22nd Today
