Ok, this may not be a big one for some or most, but it was for me.

I have been exercising and eating better/less for about 6 weeks and have lost poundage. Today I had an exorbitant amount of energy after a hour of cardio in the morning. I did an additional 30 minutes of cardio (including several minutes of jogging in place) this afternoon. This evening we were outside and I decided to run and chase my son around for fun! <--This has not happened in YEARS! I have also caught my self jogging to and from were I need to go today (like out to the car.)

I feel so good!

I may seem silly, but is a huge thing for me. :wink:

    That isn't silly in the least! It's huge. I felt that way today, m'self. Nothing like a 90 minute burn in the gym! :)

    Not silly at all. Having energy where you lacked before is an amazing feeling and just one of the awesome benefits that comes from taking better care of your body. Way to go! Keep up the hard work!

    Woohoo well done! That's not silly at all, it's great :bigsmile:

    The feeling of being able to run around with the kids is something I am really enjoying too :smile:

    One of my best days was a couple months ago when my kids wanted to play tag and I ran and kept up with them for a full 30 minutes. There's nothing silly about being able to do that stuff. It's exactly the reason I started with the app.

    I know how this feels. I played with my daughter for the first time at the park this year. (She's 4 and a half) Normally I would have sat on the bench and watched. Now I am out there going down the slides and I even crossed the monkey bars!

    THIS IS HUGE. Congratulations!!!

    That is definitely huge, not something small! It's amazing how much energy we get after exercising. A lot of time I feel energized afterwards. What a wonderful NSV, especially chasing after your son!! Congrats!!
