I love that when I get out of the shower in the morning smack dab in front of a HUGE mirror that I don't grimace anymore. I actually like what I see for the most part. I feel happier, I feel stronger, I feel sexier, I feel more confident. I feel ready to meet someone and share with. That's a HUGE step for me.

I like that my clothes look GOOD on me and are now smaller (other than the dent to my wallet ). I like that I am eating healthier and am not as tempted to eat badly. How enlightening to realize how simple (still hard!) it really is to get in shape. No magic hocus pocus behind it at all. Hard work and an on target diet. Bingo!

The good days (physically and mentally) now far outweigh the bad and that is a very good thing.

It's very rewarding to set a goal, a difficult goal, and reach it. Makes me want to reach out and help others, know what I mean??

That's all.....just a bit reflective today (and mildly bored at work).
