I am realizing how my lifestyle is changing

I have come to realize that there are so many things about my lifestyle that is changing...

For one...Last night my hubby and I were getting ready to go for our usual evening walk. We have this thing that we say the 'long' or the 'short' walk. The long walk is about 5 miles (it is hard to judge since it isn't all on streets but a path that runs behind our apt) and the short one is 3 miles (we know because we clocked it in our truck). We are just amazed that we now consider 3 miles a short walk; I remember a time when the 3 mile walk was the long one and took us forever to do, now we are always home within an hour and we would never have considered doing a 5 mile walk.

Another thing.... When we go on our walks we walk pass 2 gas stations and a pizza shop. Sometimes we will stop at one of the gas stations to go potty (we drink a lot of water, lol) but we have never stopped at the pizza shop although it always smells so good. I remember a time not so long ago that we would have complained if we had just walked to the pizza shop which is only a stones throw away from our house. But we also would have given into the smells and gotten pizza to eat, now it is the farthest thing from our minds. We are just concentrating on finishing our walk and coming home to log the calories burned.

It is just so amazing how after 4 months of eating healthier, exercising and working hard we have both lost quite a bit of weight and feel so much better than we have in years. The work is paying off and of course seeing the results makes us both want to work that much harder to reach our goals.

Just thought I would share this tid bit of success.

Thanks
