I have been noticing a lot of secondary effects of my new lifestyle lately.

Resting HR: Went from 80bpm to 50bpm
Walking: Need to sing while carrying my daughter to get my HR up when walking.
Complexion: My skin looks healthier and has natural color

What have you noticed?

    I've noticed that I feel stronger while running on the treadmill. I used to think I just had a hard time on a treadmill but now I think I was just having a hard time because I didn't have any muscle!

    I finally started noticing my jeans fitting better! :bigsmile:

    I've noticed that I can work outside without getting winded and tired. I used to complain bitterly when my husband wanted me to help do yard stuff. Now I look forward to it as another workout:) Happy Day!

    i've noticed my skin feels smoother and it's way clearer and has a little more of a healthy look to it. I've also been told that i look younger now (which i never knew weight made you look heavier *shrugs*). The cloths i used to wear all the time have gotten baggy and I tried on a pair of jeans I hadn't been able to wear in a few years and they fit! Exciting :)

    I have TONS more energy now, and I've only lost 18 pounds. I can get up out of bed WITHOUT the minimum 2 cups of coffee I used to need to make me feel human. Also, I don't feel things jiggling when I walk that I used to feel jiggling :blushing: . I guess I was just so used to feeling sluggish from eating garbage-y food all the time.

    The being able to wake up in the morning, though, what a suprise that was! Totally unexpected.

    I ran all the way to the train staion without stopping yesterday. which is just over a mile. i am a usless runner and could not make it to the end of the road from smoking and no exercising. that was about 2 months ago. felt great to fly down the road yesterday.
    its a mini goal but things can only get better

    I have noticed that my breathing is better (I no longer need my inhaler at all, but I also quit smoking recently), I am sleeping much better and I hardly ever get sick anymore. :flowerforyou:
