Feeling a lot better !

There are so many little things that I hadn't realized are better now that I've lost 40 pounds until I stopped and thought about it. Like I can walk the dog without my back starting to hurt after a block. My hips don't hurt when I stand up after sitting. I can walk up the stairs to my 6th floor apartment without stopping to rest. This is the kind of functional fitness that was a big part of my weight loss goals.

I think it's good to stop and acknowledge these changes so we can remember them and use for motivation when we need it.

So congratulations to you on your 21 pounds and best of luck getting to your goal!
