Feeling On Top Of The World !

21alpine

I was out doing my daily walk this morning. The place that I walk is at work. I walk around the building which I measured by driving around. I usually do 2 and sometimes 3 miles in the morning, and another mile after lunch. I usually see a lot of people coming in and out to their company units. Many of them wave or say hi as they are going by.

This morning, I was on my next to the last lap, when someone I have seen before but never spoke to waved on his way in. On my last lap, he was outside his unit and as I was starting to walk by he spoke to me saying that it looks like I have been losing weight. You are looking good. I was so flabberghasted and surprised ! Here is some guy that I don't know telling me I'm doing a good job! I ended up stopping to talk to him. I thanked him and told him I had lost 25 lbs so far and told him how I begun by quitting smoking a year ago and yadda yadda yadda. I told him about this site, and how much it has helped me. He is going to check it out and said he is going to tell a couple of his triends.

Needless to say, I am feeling very proud of myself and it has given me more motivation to keep on going. (Not that I planned on stopping!)

I'm so happy for you! 25 pounds is a lot and I'm sure that other people have noticed too. I would think that you'd soon have a whole club out there walking.

Great job!
