Catwoman I'm stealing your quote about all the hard work...

Lynette you are getting my a$$ to the gym to start working on pull ups. I have never been able to do one and hung it up a while ago.

You know that stupid number has such a hold on me sometimes, but these are the things I notice the most:

My boyfriend says "you don't look 190"

Pulling on a pair of pants just to see if they fit and wear them out the door

Dropping my fast blood sugar from 118 (uh oh!) to 83 (score!)

Having a doctor say "you have really muscular feet!"

Not feeling that 'neck rub'

Not feeling like your legs are connected mid thigh and not starting a fire in cordoroys

Sitting in an airline seat with PLENTY of room

and best of all...

Keeping up with the boys and not being the last one in line


OH and don't ever forget...like someone else said....calf definition!!!!

There are women at my work too that treat exercise like a curse. There are SO MANY that live 3 or so miles from work but when I say 'ride a bike' it's like I'm an idiot. There is one woman though that came up to me and started talking about riding and she said that she was 14 miles and it was too far and I said ...no 16 miles is too far and I do it...so she's thinking about it but has child care stuff as well, which is hard to juggle...so yeah I hear you about the selling the house bc they can't get up the steps.
