Tuesday October 7, 2025 | How do I feel about my body right now, and what changes do I hope to see?

I am sticking to my yoga and Qigong practice like glue.  What if I told you that Qigong practice helps with toning belly fat?  Qigong helps relieve anxiety and stress.  Well I must say that I eat a small bowl of yogurt with fruit and nuts or cottage cheese with fruit and nuts and or goji berries.  Those suckers are good!  Or I put goji berries or chia seeds on top of my protein shake.  I heard that you are supposed to soak your chia seeds what for? Have no idea.  (I heard about that from Tracy Campoli's YouTube videos. I also heard about goji berries from Nora Day.  She's a yogi on YouTube who just practices all kinds of yoga.)   I think the nuts are protein.  I do PahlaB shoulder-friendly workouts.  There are two videos, one with moderate dumbells and one without any weights.  Today, I workout to the one without weights but I added 3lb dumbells.  Because well I have a shoulder situation and just wanted to add a tiny bit of weight to my workout.  I workout to it once and then I restart the video and did it a second time without weights.  OMG!  I love to exercise! I exercise for my mental health and the mood.  (I have a mood stabilizer my doctor prescribed that does work but I think exercising works better!  I will not stop taking the mood stabilizer--which is Oxcarbazepine.)  Then I do my qigong practice and then yoga.  Qigong is pronounced chi-and then gong. (i think)  

After my workout, I have a protein bar or a protein shake and that is enough for me.   I honestly think that I am losing weight.  Jason and his mother do not see any weightloss.  All they managed to say was oh wow! She got bigger!  I wanted to hit Jason's mother right over the head! but I won't because I have to respect her.  I don't know where I heard the phrase you got to respect your elder's from?  That stuck with me all these years and even through with my selective mutism.
