A year ago my body wouldn’t let me do any of these. Sitting on the floor was uncomfortable. Folding forward, kneeling back, getting upside down, none of it was available to me.

Sharing four poses I can hold now:

Sarvangasana (shoulder stand)
Halasana (plow pose)
Upavistha Konasana (wide-angle seated forward fold)
Ustrasana variation (camel pose, kneeling backbend)

The scale moves. That’s the part everyone talks about. But the quieter shift is mobility, being able to fold, twist, balance, get on the floor and back up without thinking about it. That’s the part that actually changes your day.

I was above 100kg every day for 20 years. On 1 March, 97.8. I thought I was done with the hard part, which, in hindsight, is one of the dumbest things I have ever thought. I posted about it here, the replies were kind, I started treating my evenings like a reward, and four weeks later: 102.65kg. I circled the number on my whiteboard and wrote "last time in this life" next to it. I broke that promise too. Still 102.6 on 20 April. Two failures, not one. What I did not expect was that the system kept running while I was not: a whiteboard weigh-in I cannot skip, a trainer logging every session's calorie burn on the same board, and a Whoop showing sleep, strain, and recovery every morning before I can negotiate with myself. That stack is the only reason I am 102.6 instead of 106. A tracker without a weekly review is decoration, and you can break a promise to yourself and keep the system running anyway.
