It's more than a number on a scale.

I stepped on the scale tonight. !0 pounds lost. I have not weighed this in about 5 years. But this is so much more than that. It's doing Jillian Michael's ripped in 30 at 2 weeks shy of turning 55 years old. It's about getting stronger and fitter. I repeated week 1 of RI30 last night( after having spent 2 months of doing each level for several weeks) and I rocked it with ease. Yes, I sweated and was out of breath but there was no comparison to the torture I had first endured. It's about being on week 5 of C25k and having run 20 minutes 2 times this week.. It measured 1 3/4 mile . 5 weeks ago I felt like I was dying running 60 seconds at a time. It's about putting on pants I hadnt worn in a couple of years or wearing a leather jacket I loved, when I hadnt been able to before because I couldn't get it zipped up and the arms were too tight. It's about seriously contemplating running a 5k and doing the warrior dash and not being afraid that I am too old do these things. You know, it just feels good to accomplish something you had no idea you could.
