Tying my shoes NSV

One of the signs I had gotten that I was putting on weight was whenever I tried to put on my shoes, I had to prop my foot up against something (if standing put it on a chair or the side of the bed, if sitting, bring up to the top of whatever I was sitting on or bend over to the floor). Additionally, i could feel that it was restrictive on my breathing when I would be doing this.

So today in the locker room getting ready for my workout, without even thinking about it, I sat down on the bench picked my right foot up and held it in mid air in front of me while I tied the laces. No struggles, no trouble breathing, just felt as natural as it could ever feel. It wasn't until I put my foot down on the floor that I realized what I had just done.

So a little silly but a great sign that the gut is gone!!
